Why We Started Ola Habitat
Minerva didn't move to Tulum to start a property management company. She moved because she fell in love with the jungle, the cenotes, and the community of people building something real here.
But after years of watching foreign property owners get taken advantage of — overcharged, under-reported, and left without legal protection — she knew she had to do something.
She founded Ola Habitat on a simple premise: treat every property like it's your own. That means honest pricing, clear reporting, and always picking up the phone.
Local by choice, not by default
Minerva chose Tulum. She knows which vendors deliver, which neighborhoods command premium rates, and how to navigate local regulations that trip up foreign owners.
Transparent by design
No mystery fees. No financial jargon. Monthly reports that show every booking, every expense, every peso. You always know exactly what's happening.
Personal by intention
Your property isn't a number in a spreadsheet. It's someone's investment, someone's dream. We treat it that way — every day.
I built the kind of management company I wished existed when I first navigated this market.

Reliability
We answer when you call. We handle problems before they become emergencies. Your guests get the service they expect, your property gets the care it deserves.
Local Knowledge
We live here. We know which cleaners show up on time, which plumbers don't overcharge foreigners, which restaurants to recommend. That knowledge is the difference between good reviews and great ones.

In Mexico, you get to choose your own buyer's representation — and the listing agent works for the seller, not you. Before you call the listing agent, talk to Minerva.
As your buyer's advisor, Ola Habitat negotiates in your interest, verifies the investment numbers, handles due diligence in a foreign legal system, and manages the property after you close. One relationship. No conflict of interest.

We work for you — not the seller
A listing agent's job is to get the seller the best deal. Minerva's job is to get you the best deal. That's the difference.
Real investment analysis before you commit
Projected occupancy, estimated nightly rates, gross revenue, net after management. You know the numbers before signing anything.
Managed from day one after closing
The relationship doesn't end at the purchase. Minerva manages your new property — so the income starts immediately, without a new onboarding process.
