Hal Forsyth
Bio
- REAL ESTATE DONE DIFFERENTLY -
With 18 plus years of living in Mexico, Mexican home renovation and the Lake Chapala Real Estate Market, Hal understands the needs and goals of his clients, and is fond of saying "I don't do problems.... I do solutions"
His design background perfectly suits showcasing and selling your unique home. His popular YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@HalForsyth showcases those marketing skills. He is once more AGENT OF THE YEAR at Lake Chapala Real Estate (the Premier Agency Lakeside), with a long list of happy selling and buying clients (as his testimonials on https://halforsyth.com confirm)
Hal operated a successful home renovation company North of the Border. His background in corporate staging with heavy hitters like Home Depot and Kohler along with a keen design esthetic helped transform many an ugly duckling house into a stylish swan.
A Canadian by birth, Hal spent time in Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, numerous Caribbean Islands, and Italy before settling here in Mexico. “The joy in this corner of Mexico is almost palpable and unlike any place I have ever found”.
Hal and his husband Thomas divide their time between their primary residence in Ajijic and a home on the nearby Pacific Coast.
Hal’s believes, "Step one is helping you decide if Lake Chapala is your place. Then what corner of our community best suits you. Once those decisions have been made, your perfect home will call to you. My job is to help you find it and listen."

His videos surpass all others. Hal provides a wealth of knowledge and experience in a friendly manner. He is always positive and always available. Our home was sold in record time” - Pam and Brian Ames 2026
