Welcome to Run Away Realty, a boutique real estate agency located in the heart of Puerto Morelos, Mexico. Whether you’re dreaming of a beachfront escape, a jungle retreat, or a cozy home in town, we are here to turn that dream into reality.
Who We Are
Founded in 2016 by Kim Tempel, a recovering attorney from Colorado, Run Away Realty has had the privilege of helping hundreds of American, Canadian, and European clients navigate the process of buying property in Mexico. With years of experience and a deep love for this beautiful beach town, we are passionate about making the transition to homeownership in Mexico as seamless—and fun—as possible.
What Makes Us Special?
Buying property in a foreign country can feel overwhelming. We get it. There’s a ton of misinformation out there about what’s involved in purchasing real estate in Mexico, and it’s easy to feel uncertain about where to start. That’s where we come in.
At Run Away Realty, we’re not just here to sell you a house; we’re here to be your guide. We walk you through the entire process, from understanding the legal framework to closing the deal, and we do it all with honesty, transparency, and a healthy dose of fun. Our clients aren’t just transactions to us—they become part of our Puerto Morelos community.
Why Puerto Morelos?
Puerto Morelos is a special place. It’s not just another stop on the Riviera Maya—it’s a laid-back, welcoming beach town with a strong sense of community. Unlike its larger, more tourist-heavy neighbors, Puerto Morelos has retained its charm and authenticity. It’s the kind of place where you can stroll to the beach, get to know your neighbors, and truly slow down to enjoy life.
