🏡 How the Real Estate Purchase Process Works in the Dominican Republic — With Perez Real Estate Supporting You at Every Step

Buying property in the Dominican Republic is a straightforward and secure process, even for foreign investors. What truly makes the difference is having the right team guiding you from the very beginning.

At Perez Real Estate, we accompany you throughout the entire journey — verifying every detail, explaining each step, and ensuring that your investment is safe, transparent, and perfectly aligned with your goals.

Here is the complete purchase process, step by step, and exactly how we support you along the way.


1. Defining Your Needs and Budget

The buying process begins with understanding your goals:
Are you looking for a vacation home, rental investment, or full-time living? What is your lifestyle? Your preferred area?

• We guide you toward realistic, secure, high-value options

You don’t start alone — you start with expert guidance.

• We communicate directly with the developer or seller
• We ensure the reservation conditions are clear and fair

You are fully protected from day one.

✔️ How Perez Real Estate helps

• We review the contract with you, point by point
• We explain all clauses in clear, simple language
• We negotiate terms when needed
• We ensure the contract protects you, not just the seller

6. Payment Process

Depending on the type of property, payment can be full or in installments linked to construction phases.

✔️ How Perez Real Estate helps

• We guide you through each payment
• We ensure you receive official receipts and confirmations
• We monitor deadlines and communicate with the seller or developer
• We help you understand how each installment fits your contract

Every payment is safe, documented, and perfectly supervised.


7. Final Contract (Contrato de Venta Definitiva)

This document officially transfers ownership rights to you.

✔️ How Perez Real Estate helps

• We prepare and coordinate the signing
• We verify every detail before you sign
• We ensure the seller fulfills all legal obligations
• We assist with documentation, signatures, and local procedures

The final contract is fully handled with our support.

• We follow your file through every stage of registration
• We communicate with the Title Registry
• We confirm when your Título de Propiedad is ready

• We report and request corrections if needed
• We assist with utility activation and access cards

Your new home is delivered exactly as promised.


10. After-Sales & Long-Term Support
