Daniel Ortiz
As founder and Broker of Coldwell Banker SMART in San Miguel de Allende, I’ve had the opportunity to build a real estate agency grounded in trust, professionalism, and a deep love for this extraordinary city.
When we started, we didn’t focus on hiring agents with long résumés—we focused on people. People with heart, humility, professionalism, and potential. We trained from scratch, built our culture from the inside out, and poured ourselves into growing a team that feels more like family than colleagues.
Over time, that vision paid off.
For the past decade, we’ve ranked among the top three Coldwell Banker offices nationwide and earned the #1 position four times—in 2016, 2017, 2018, and most recently in 2024.
I am a big fan of our team! They are amazing!
With 20 years in real estate and more than 1,800 successful transactions, I’ve built a career centered on relationships, deep market knowledge, and personalized service. I believe luxury is about experience, not just price point—and our goal is always to help clients find the right fit for their lifestyle.
I’m honored to serve as one of only 18 Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Ambassadors worldwide, and as a member of the International Luxury Alliance—a network of top-tier agents serving high-net-worth clients across 48 key markets. These roles allow me to offer my clients true global exposure and exclusive access to properties and referrals around the world.
Before stepping into brokerage leadership in 2012, I was recognized as the #1 Coldwell Banker agent in Mexico. I’ve represented some of San Miguel’s most iconic homes, including the Rosewood Residences, one of the city’s most prestigious developments.
It has been a true honor to be trusted by many of the city’s most established and well-connected families to guide them through their real estate decisions. That trust is a testament to the reputation we’ve worked hard to build—one based on discretion, results, and genuine relationships.
Beyond real estate, I’ve served as Vice President of our local AMPI chapter and helped lead the MLS committee, contributing to the growth and professionalism of our market. I also remain deeply involved in the community—supporting organizations that fund heart surgeries for children and sponsoring music and cultural events throughout the year.
At Coldwell Banker SMART, we take pride in being approachable and community-centered—always ready to answer questions, offer guidance, and help people take the next step in their real estate journey, whether it’s their first home or their forever one.
