Our Team

Partners at Lighthouse

Javier Contreras Nieto

CEO / Principal Attorney - Real Estate Law Specialist

After finishing law school, my journey commenced in various notary offices across Mexico City, where I had the honor of collaborating with esteemed banks like Santander and BBVA. Team primary focus was bridge financing for national and international investment projects, including renowned ventures and FIBRA -supported initiatives.

Expanding my expertise, I ventured into the mortgage sector, serving financial institutions such as Banorte, Scotiabank, and BanBajío. Here, I took charge of title transfers for diverse real estate developments, prioritizing exceptional service standards.

A significant highlight was collaborating in the vertical housing sector, engaging in every aspect from land acquisition and fiduciary services to anti-money laundering compliance, construction contracts, credit acquisition, and comprehensive title coordination for the entire development.

Shane Mullholland

Serial Entrepreneur and Business Manager

I am an experienced serial entrepreneur in the US and Mexico, with a deep understanding of the Playa del Carmen business landscape.

With over 28 years of entrepreneurial success and a proven track record in opening, operating and scaling businesses, I bring a wealth of knowledge to the table. 

24 years ago, my journey took left turn when I acquired Tequila Barrel in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. Recognizing the need for local expertise, I enlisted the assistance of an astute individual who helped me navigate the intricacies of the local business environment and overcome operational challenges. Drawing upon my previous experiences and strategic vision, I transformed Tequila Barrel into a thriving and iconic landmark establishment of Playa del Carmen.

Now, with Lighthouse Real Estate and Legal Services, my mission is to share the wealth of experience, knowledge, and wisdom accumulated throughout my entrepreneurial journey.
