Yes. Foreigners have the same rights as Dominican citizens when it comes to property ownership. There are no restrictions on non-residents owning land or residential property in their own name. At RE/MAX Prestige, we specialize in guiding international clients through the legal process, ensuring all titles are verified and secure.

Absolutely. Punta Cana remains the top destination for Caribbean investment due to its high tourism demand and robust infrastructure. Properties in gated communities like Cap Cana and VistaCana offer high ROI through vacation rentals (Airbnb-friendly) and consistent capital appreciation.

Typically, you should budget between 3% and 5% of the purchase price for closing costs. This includes: • Transfer Tax: 3% of the property value (paid to the DGII). • Legal Fees: Generally 1% to 1.5% for due diligence and contract formalization. • Notary Fees: Small administrative costs for authenticating documents.

No residency is required to buy property; you can purchase with just a valid passport. However, many of our clients apply for Investment Residency if they purchase property valued over $200,000, which offers tax benefits and a faster path to permanent legal status.

Many of our featured projects, such as those in Punta Hermosa or Cap Cana, are built under the CONFOTUR law. This government incentive grants buyers significant tax breaks, often including a 15-year exemption from the 1% annual Property Tax (IPI) and the 3% Transfer Tax.

Yes, several Dominican banks (like Banreservas and Banco Popular) offer financing to foreigners. Typically, banks require a 30% to 50% down payment and proof of income from your home country. Alternatively, many of our pre-construction projects offer interest-free developer financing during the construction phase.

We focus on the most prestigious areas of the East Coast, including: • Cap Cana: Exclusive marina and golf living. • Punta Cana Resort & Club: Elite beachfront estates. • VistaCana: Modern urban-resort living with man-made beaches and golf. • Bávaro: High-yield vacation rental apartments.

Our team performs a rigorous 7-step verification on every listing. We ensure the property has a clear "Certificado de Título," no outstanding liens or hidden debts, and that all boundaries are properly surveyed (Deslinde). We work exclusively with reputable attorneys to guarantee a 100% transparent transaction.
