Company profile
researched Aug 2026Clau is a Mexico-focused real estate platform that lets users search properties for purchase or rent by city and lists apartments, houses and land across markets including Mexico City, the State of Mexico, Guadalajara/Zapopan (Jalisco), Monterrey (Nuevo León) and Querétaro. Alongside listings, the site offers owners the ability to publish their own property, and bundles adjacent transaction services: mortgage credit, renovation work, a price map described as a residential real estate database for Mexico, and a property valuation tool.
The platform also serves real estate advisors, offering a shared listing pool ("bolsa inmobiliaria"), the option to earn additional income by selling associated services, and agent-facing tools. Educational and reference content includes a real estate school, a market blog ("El Living") and a resource center with real estate templates and contracts. Customer testimonials on the site reference advisor-assisted purchases of apartments.
