How do you list your property?
- Contact us: 825-436-8028 (phone or WhatsApp) OR you can also fill out the form below.
- If in person, we can meet with you and talk about your property, time frame, listing price, etc. Alternatively, if you are not in the DR, or prefer to do this digitally, we can simply talk on the phone and get your property online and marketed immediately.

Common Questions:
- Who pays commission, the buyer or seller?
- Who pays the legal fees?
- Does a buyer send a deposit?
- Do I have to sell my property furnished?
- Do I have to list my property with every real estate office in the area?
- Will you co-broke with another agency?
- Will you update me on progress?
- What about photos and videos of my property?
The seller pays the real estate commission, generally 4-8% of the purchase price. The money is not given to the realtor, but is deducted from the sales proceeds and comes through the law firm handling the sale.
Buyer’s pay the legal fees which transfers title from the seller to the buyer. Seller’s have the option of having independent legal representation as well. In that case, they would pay the fee for their lawyer.
Generally yes. In good faith, a buyer offers a deposit when the offer of purchase is accepted. These monies stay with the law firm. Should a buyer breach the signed offer of purchase, the real estate agent and the seller split the deposit dollars. Deposits are usually $10,000 to $15,000 US.
Selling your property with our without furnishings is totally up to you. It’s often easier for sellers if they are not re-purchasing a DR property to sell with all items except personal belongings. Buyers often appreciate not having to furnish as well.
The DR does not have a multiple listing service (MLS). This means that to get your property listed in as many places as possible, it’s good to contact as many agencies as possible. DR Properties has lots of exclusive listings as well. If you only want us to market and sell your property, we are happy to do that.
If we have your property listing and another agency has a buyer, we are happy to co-broke with that agency and get your property sold. That is our goal.
Yes, we will keep you abreast of showings, market activity and progress.
We recommend getting professional photos taken. It often helps to show your property in the best possible light. For a fee of $75 US, our photographer will come and take lots of pictures then professionally edit them as well. She can add a video component as well.
