Personalized Services for Out of the Country Buyers and Sellers

Looking to Buy or Sell a Property in the Dominican Republic?

Whether you’re interested in a vacation home or a rental property (or both), the Dominican Republic is an excellent choice. The DR is friendly toward foreign real estate investment, and taxes are remarkably low (3% initial transfer tax and annual property tax equivalent to 1% of value in excess of $147,000 USD). In addition to the beautiful climate and immaculate beaches that you and your family can enjoy, the long high-season and active tourist industry make it a very profitable choice for an income property.
