Buyer/Owner Services
The most important thing we do.It’s all about you.
We are here to help with service, knowledge, experience & friendship. We know that considering buying foreign property can be an intimidating, even frightening 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? What happens after I buy?
We know these questions and fears well. We were once first time DR buyers too – with all the same questions. We work with potential buyers everyday. We take time to ensure buyers understand the buying process; they make the right choices for both short and long term goals; and become part of our great community, full or part time.
At DR Properties, we are all Canadians (well, there is one German), and we understand and speak the language of the Canadian and American buyer. We know how to explain and relate Dominican real estate structure and information in ways that make sense.

Who Are Our Buyers?
Our clients are generally looking for property that they can use personally for 2-weeks to 12-months per year. They want to know their properties are maintained and managed in their absence, and often, that the property can generate income through rental. Although every person is different, the following three categories tend to define our buyers – and they all are sick of winter, high taxes & stress:
Pre-Retirement:
Buyers are generally between 40-60 years of age. They want to start on their Caribbean dream home while they’re still working. Usually renting their DR property is important to help cover costs. They won’t live in the DR full time, but will vacation here.
Retirees:
Buyers are generally between 60-70 years. They want to make a move to the DR for at least part of the year. Rental income is not as much a concern, but health care and community really are important.
Entrepreneurs/People Who Work From the DR:
Buyers are between the ages of 30-60. They have employment that lets them work from home, or want to come to the DR to start businesses. They may have children who will attend one of the local international schools. Rental is not for them, but community life, activities and cost of living matter.
The Property Matters
DR Properties does not sell every property, or take on every listing. We are very specific about what we sell, it must meet the critera that 90% of our buyers are looking for:
- Be in a gated community with true 24-hour security.
- Be lock-up-and-leave. When the owner locks the door and goes to the airport, they must know that their property is in good hands. This can be a onsite service or be handled through reputable management companies.
- Developers must have sound financial situation and reputation.
- Have proper titles in place
If the property does not meet this criteria, then we don’t sell it.
