KeyCrew Media Taps Texas REALTOR® Ed Eakin to Lead Los Cabos Luxury Real Estate Coverage

KeyCrew Media, the expert-first real estate media company, has selected Ed Eakin, REALTOR® and leader of the Eakin Group, as an expert source on luxury and golf course developments in Los Cabos, buying property in Mexico as an American, and international residential real estate. The partnership, announced October 7, 2026, will feature Eakin across KeyCrew’s editorial network, deepening coverage of a market that has become increasingly attractive to Texas buyers.

Eakin, a Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS) and the second person ever to receive the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) CIPS Excellence Award, brings decades of international experience to the role. After years of selling real estate in Mexico from Texas, he has moved to Cabo San Lucas full time, where he works directly with high-end developers to connect buyers from California, Texas, the wider United States and Canada with luxury and golf course communities. His credentials include being named International REALTOR® of the Year in Dallas–Fort Worth in 2022, serving as one of NAR’s 30 Global Ambassadors representing Belize, Barbados, and Trinidad and Tobago, and holding global leadership roles with MetroTex, HAR, ABoR, and Texas REALTORS®.

The partnership will produce thought leadership, development features, and market insights published across KeyCrew Media’s portfolio, which includes KeyCrew Journal, NextAsset News, and Property Innovation Journal. KeyCrew reaches more than 40,000 professionals and investors and syndicates content to over 300 publications, platforms, and AI engines. According to 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.”

For Texas businesses and investors, the partnership signals a growing focus on cross-border real estate opportunities. Eakin’s expertise covers critical topics such as fideicomiso bank trusts, the role of the notario, and protecting pre-construction deposits—issues that U.S. buyers must navigate when purchasing in Mexico. With many practitioners operating as advisors or consultants, Eakin’s certified REALTOR® standards and international track record offer a layer of professional accountability. His on-the-ground presence in Cabo San Lucas, combined with a team in place, aims to ensure transactions are conducted properly. “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,” Eakin said. “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. Upcoming features will cover branded residences in Belize, more of Los Cabos’ luxury golf communities, and why Texas buyers are making the move to Cabo. The collaboration underscores the economic ties between Texas and Mexico’s luxury real estate markets, providing readers with actionable intelligence on a region where Texas money and migration are increasingly influential.
