WELCOME TO GATSBY GDL
Relocation & Real Estate Services for Expats in Guadalajara
Whether you're looking to rent or buy, our local and bilingual team are here to help you through every step of the process.
​Renting and buying in Guadalajara isn’t the same as in other cities or countries.
Owners often require an aval, extra deposits, and specific contract terms — things most expats don’t know until it’s too late.
We make the process simple, supportive, and stress-free — from pre-screening to contract signing.

About GatsbyGdl
GatsbyGDL was founded by Trey Gatsby, an independent real estate advisor based in Guadalajara, specializing in helping expats relocate, rent, and purchase property in the city.
After working closely with international clients, Trey saw a clear gap in the market:
most expats struggle not because of the property itself, but because the rental and buying process in Guadalajara is very different from other countries — and even other cities in Mexico.
GatsbyGDL was created to bridge that gap.
Today, GatsbyGDL focuses on providing clear guidance, honest expectations, and step-by-step support throughout the relocation process — from understanding requirements like avals and contracts, to identifying the right neighborhoods, negotiating with owners, and supporting clients through signing and move-in.
While GatsbyGDL is independently run, it operates with a trusted local network of notaries, property managers, inspectors, and service providers, ensuring clients receive reliable support at every stage.
