If you had told Ian 10 years ago that he'd be working as a realtor in the stunning Baja paradise of La Paz, BCS, Mexico, he would have likely given you a bewildered look. But fast forward to March 2020, amidst the start of a global pandemic and the need to ensure his parents were safe in Mexico, and you’d find Ian making the bold decision to leave behind his corner office in Miami, FL, where he led a sales and marketing division for Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises. Quickly after arriving to Baja, he chose to settle in La Paz and start selling homes—a decision that paid off just a week into his new role, with his first sale quickly under his belt. Since then, he hasn’t looked back.

Welcome! I’m Ian Wilson, broker at Dream Baja Realty, and I’m thrilled to help you navigate the process of finding your dream home in La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico. Over the past five years, I’ve had the privilege of being one of the top-producing realtors in this breathtaking region, assisting individuals and families in relocating to this hidden gem of the Baja Peninsula.

Originally from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, my career began in a different kind of paradise. At 24, I set off on an adventure as a Scuba Diving Instructor with Royal Caribbean Cruises, spending two unforgettable years exploring the world’s oceans and sharing my passion with others. My love for travel and connecting with people naturally led me into sales and marketing, where I continued to explore the globe for the next decade.

After those ten exciting years traveling aboard cruise ships, I was based in Miami, Florida, where I spent the next 15 years leading sales and marketing divisions for both Royal Caribbean Cruises and Celebrity Cruises. These years were pivotal in shaping my expertise in marketing and client relations, giving me a unique perspective on how to successfully connect people with experiences and opportunities—skills that have proven invaluable in my real estate career.

Upon relocating to Mexico, I immediately leveraged this wealth of marketing experience to accelerate my career as a realtor. My passion for helping others, coupled with a deep understanding of what draws people to new destinations, has allowed me to become a trusted expert for those looking to relocate or invest in property in La Paz.

Whether you’re searching for a vacation home or planning to relocate permanently, I’m here to make the process as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Let’s get started on your journey to discovering the best that Baja has to offer!

Ian lives in La Paz, BCS with Guapo, Loki, Freya, and Thor...his 4 rescue cats. He always considered himself a dog person, and no one (except the cats) knows how he ended up living with four furry terrorists. In his free time, he enjoys Scuba, snorkeling, exploring everything the peninsula has to offer, and finding new and innovative ways to market his clients' listings.
