Made in MedellĆ­n ā¤ļø

Meet Sara and Ana!

Weā€™ve known each other since we were 4 years old. Checkmate is built on friendship and trust. We love what we do and canā€™t wait to bring the magic of MedellĆ­n to your home!

Here's what you can buy with $200K

You've got 3 scenarios to choose from

#1. High-rise condo in the heart of downtown

Ideal for those who want to be in the heart of the action and enjoy the convenience of walking everywhere.

#2. Amazing view of the mountains

Great for scenic views while still being just 10-15 minutes away from the city center.

#3. Buy a ranch and build your dream

Ideal for those seeking country living, offering a peaceful escape from the hustle of the city while still being just 30 minutes away.

A word from our founder

Hi there! Iā€™m from Houston, Texas, and Iā€™m here to help you adjust and thrive

When I turned 40, I decided to start a new life in MedellĆ­n, Colombia. My experience was so positive that I formed a team called Checkmate to help others do the same.ā€‹

How it Works šŸ”

I moved here on January 1st, and by August 16th, Iā€™ve enrolled my daughters in school, bought and renovated a property, and secured a Colombian investor visa, bank account, tourism permit, health insurance, and an Airbnb. Fast transition! Couldnā€™t be happier! You can do it too.
