Buyer & Owner Services
The MOST important thing we do.
At DR Properties, we understand the needs of foreign buyers. For almost 10-years we have helped people find the properties that best suited their lifestyle, financial situation and short/long term needs. We know that buying foreign property can be an intimidating experience. Most people have no idea where to even start the process or who to trust. How does it all work? What are the legal ins and outs? Will my title be owned by me and secure? How stable is the government? How much are taxes?
We believe that information is key and know how to explain and relate Dominican real estate structure and information in ways that make sense. We take our client’s trust seriously. It’s important to ensure buyers understand the buying process, but also view only the best real estate: those properties with finished titles; sound project developers with good reputations and financial history; developments with gated security and services; etc. We work with the best local real estate lawyers and other professionals. Our service does not stop with the sale. We also assist new owners with insurance, furnishings, rental services, etc.
We are here to help. It’s as simple as that.

What Do Our Buyers Say?
“We have lived in many places around the world. The DR offered us the best balance of price, weather, and community for our winter retirement home. We enjoy the summers in Canada and escape at the first sign of cold in the winter! The buying process was similar to Canada, the lifestyle is healthy and warm, and the friends we’ve made are more like family now.”
“We’ve been coming to the DR for many years. We love the weather, people, and now our villa and the amazing friends we’ve met. Someday you will be here for most of the year, but for now, we let our villa earn rental income and come as often as we can. Not often enough…”
“We love our DR home and the friends we’ve made. Retirement is still a few years away, so we visit our property several times per year. We let it rent the rest of the time. We can’t wait until we can make the DR our long term winter home. It’s harder to leave and return to Canada every time”
“We have owned our DR villa for over four years now. We met Mel and Colleen at a trade show, and spent the next few years in communication with them about the Dominican. We finally came down, loved it, and purchased a home. It’s been a great experience, and we love our house and our DR friends. We are still working, so we let our villa rent when we are not in the DR. It’s made owing cost effective and our villa has been maintained, rented and cared for in our absence.”
