Second Century Ventures, the strategic investment arm of the National Association of Realtors, announced on July 22 a partnership with the Asociación Mexicana de Profesionales Inmobiliarios, Mexico’s leading professional real estate association. The agreement establishes Second Century Ventures as the strategic innovation partner for AMPI and aims to accelerate technology adoption and digital transformation across Mexico’s real estate industry.
The partnership will focus on advancing technology adoption, sharing global best practices, expanding educational programming, connecting AMPI members with REACH’s portfolio companies, and conducting market research to understand evolving needs in Mexico’s real estate sector. The agreement was formalized during the REACH LATAM program held earlier this year in Monterrey.
“Mexico isn’t a market we’re entering—it’s a community we’re committing to,” said Dave Garland, Managing Partner at Second Century Ventures. “The talent, the ambition, and the heart of Mexico’s real estate professionals are superb, and they deserve a direct line to the best technology and boldest ideas on the planet. Standing beside AMPI—an institution that has protected and elevated this profession for nearly seventy years—we are going to make sure Mexican practitioners aren’t just keeping pace with the future of real estate. They’re helping build it.”
Jenny Rivas, President of AMPI, said: “AMPI has long believed that Mexico’s real estate industry is strongest when it combines local expertise with global collaboration. Our longstanding relationship with NAR has strengthened our profession for years, and this partnership with Second Century Ventures marks the next evolution of that collaboration. Together, we are creating new opportunities for our members to embrace innovation, connect with global technology leaders, and help shape the future of real estate across Mexico.”
According to its official website, the National Association of Realtors functions as a leading trade association for real estate professionals in North America; it supports diversity and inclusion within its membership; encompasses around 1,200 local boards along with 54 state and territorial associations; delivers resources such as research data and advocacy tools; works toward empowering professionals in preserving property rights; maintains headquarters in Chicago as well as an office in Washington D.C.
Tyler Thompson, Managing Partner at Second Century Ventures and REACH, said: “For more than a decade, we’ve partnered with outstanding entrepreneurs building technologies that transform real estate. Mexico continues to emerge as one of Latin America’s most exciting innovation markets, and AMPI is the ideal partner to help us bring meaningful technology to professionals across the country. We couldn’t be more excited to keep growing this collaboration with one of the industry’s most respected organizations.”
