Founded by Philip Hardcastle in 2007, Realty San Miguel (RSM) has since become the largest independently owned real estate agency in San Miguel de Allende.  As such, agents are able to customize the process and when necessary, pivot quickly to adapt to changes in the local environment without having to wait on “corporate” to ok our decisions.

Since the inception of RSM, Philip focused on creating a comprehensive website, accurately foreseeing that print advertising would continue to decline and that a strong web presence would give both buyers and sellers an incredible advantage.

By 2009, RSM had the largest, fastest real estate website in San Miguel, and now receives over 7000 page views a day, earning it a #1 ranking in Google.  We’re also the only agency with the MLS seamlessly integrated into our search engine, which means you don't have to jump from one search engine to another.  Our site is also user friendly, and makes searching for a home fast, easy and convenient.  And you won’t miss a thing, because nearly every single property that’s for sale can be found on our site.

What’s more, if you’re new to San Miguel or Mexico in general, our site also offers a Newcomer’s Guide, an Event Calendar, and just for fun, a live webcam so you can watch all the happenings in the Jardin, the town’s city center.

The agents at RSM are another invaluable asset to the company.  You’ll be hard pressed to find a more knowledgeable or qualified real estate team in town.  We work together closely and draw on the broad expertise of our agents, who have backgrounds as attorneys, engineers, architects, builders, appraisers, entrepreneurs, many with 10, 15, and 20+ years of real estate experience in San Miguel de Allende.

With our team of over 22 agents, you can take your pick.  Our agents are Mexican, American, Canadian, most are bilingual, and many hold university degrees.  From salsa dancers to classical music lovers, transplants from Mexico City to long-time San Miguelenses, all are friendly, well-trained and ready to meet your real estate needs.

In 2019, we began actively recruiting a new generation of realtors.  We wanted a well rounded team that included our older, seasoned agents as well as younger ones who would bring their social media and tech savvy ways to the table.  These agents have exceeded our expectations and have already made several millions dollars in sales.

Our office is conveniently located in Centro, the heart of San Miguel, and if you’ve been in the city for any length of time, it’s likely you’ve walked right past it.  In addition to our agents, we also have a full-time administrator who can help you set appointments, find who you’re looking for or simply point you in the right direction.
