Our Story (The Origin of YellowKey Real Estate)
YellowKey Real Estate was created to make buying and investing in Medellín easier for foreign buyers, especially when decisions are made across borders and time zones. Instead of pushing listings, the goal has always been to give international clients a clear process, local context, and reliable coordination from the first call to closing.
The team behind YellowKey brings experience and expertise in the real estate sector, with a strong focus on foreign buyers and investors. Over time, we have assisted 500+ investor buyers, building our reputation on trust, execution, and deep market knowledge, not hype.
The problem we set out to solve was simple: foreign buyers often face a fragmented experience, unclear documentation, mismatched expectations, and advice coming from too many places. YellowKey exists to act as an advisor and strategic partner, representing the foreign client, supporting legal compliance, and managing the process so the investment feels secure and predictable.

FAQ
Are you licensed and insured?
Real estate requirements can vary by role and by transaction. What we do is act as a buyer focused advisor and coordinator, and we work with qualified local professionals (attorneys, notaries, and third parties) when the process requires it.
How is YellowKey different from a traditional real estate agent?
YellowKey acts as a buyer-focused advisor rather than a listing-driven agent. Our role is to guide decisions, coordinate the process, and represent your interests throughout the transaction, instead of pushing inventory.
Do you work only with your own listings?
No. We evaluate properties across the market to find options that align with your goals, budget, and risk profile. This allows for objective recommendations based on fit, not commissions tied to specific listings.
What does your advisory process include?
Our process includes goal alignment, property filtering, decision support, transaction coordination, and guidance through documentation and closing. We also coordinate with qualified local professionals when specialized expertise is required.
