KeyCrew Media, an expert-first real estate media company, has announced a partnership with Ed Eakin, REALTOR® and leader of the Eakin Group, to co-produce editorial coverage focused on luxury and golf course real estate in Los Cabos, Mexico. The collaboration will feature Eakin as an expert voice across KeyCrew’s editorial network, deepening the company’s coverage of a market that attracts significant interest from U.S. and Canadian buyers.
The partnership comes as Los Cabos continues to draw buyers seeking luxury properties, golf course communities, and lifestyle investments. Eakin, who moved to Cabo San Lucas full time after years of selling real estate in Mexico from Texas, brings decades of international experience to the role. He earned his Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS) designation in 2012, now teaches it to agents worldwide, and was the second recipient of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) CIPS Excellence Award. He was also named International REALTOR® of the Year in Dallas–Fort Worth in 2022 and serves as one of NAR’s 30 Global Ambassadors, representing Belize, Barbados, and Trinidad and Tobago.
Through the partnership, KeyCrew’s team will work with Eakin to co-produce thought leadership, development features, and market insights on Los Cabos luxury real estate and cross-border buying. This content will be published across KeyCrew Media’s portfolio of publications, including KeyCrew Journal, NextAsset News, and Property Innovation Journal, and distributed through its network of syndication partners, portals, and AI platforms. KeyCrew Media reaches over 40,000 professionals and investors and syndicates content to more than 300 publications, platforms, and AI engines.
“We’re delighted to be working with Ed and the Eakin Group,” said Steve Marcinuk, Co-Founder and CEO of KeyCrew. “Buyers coming to Cabo are making significant decisions in a market with its own laws, language and way of doing business, and Ed brings decades of certified, international experience to that conversation. Sharing what he’s seeing on the ground with an open, non-paywalled audience of buyers and investors is exactly what this partnership does.”
Eakin’s expertise spans Los Cabos luxury and golf course communities, buying property in Mexico as an American, developer representation, Texas-to-Cabo buyers, and international and Caribbean property. His work with high-end developers connects buyers from California, Texas, the wider United States, and Canada with vetted, luxury inventory. In a market where many practitioners operate as advisors or consultants, Eakin brings the standards of a certified REALTOR® and a deep international track record.
“I moved to Cabo for the lifestyle – the golf, the water, and a luxury market that’s still moving,” said Eakin. “Buyers here deserve representation from an established professional who knows the developers and has a team in place to make sure everything is done right. Partnering with KeyCrew Media is a chance to share that with buyers before they ever sign.”
Coverage is already underway. KeyCrew’s first articles with Eakin explore Puerto Los Cabos, the 2,000-acre master-planned coastal community just east of San José del Cabo, and what U.S. buyers should understand before buying in Mexico, from the fideicomiso bank trust to the role of the notario and protecting a pre-construction deposit. Upcoming topics include branded residences in Belize, more of Los Cabos’ luxury golf communities, and why Texas buyers are making the move to Cabo.
For readers, this partnership signals an opportunity to access expert-driven, non-paywalled information on a complex international real estate market. For the industry, it highlights the growing importance of cross-border expertise and the role of media in connecting buyers with trusted professionals.
