Darian Lewis was great to work with! He showed us potential homes and properties he thought we would be interested in. He was easy to contact and available to work with us when we were in the Dominican Republic. He helped us throughout the whole buying process from getting us a lawyer, being our power of attorney and ensuring all documents were completed correctly. He went above and beyond to pick us up at the airport when we were moving in and helped us set up our internet service.

Darian was a referral within our Keller Williams connection. I originally came to Dominican Republic for a wedding. I went on a tour with another friend who wanted me to tour for moral support. I ended up purchasing a home in Vista Cana. I’m excited 😃

Have questions?

Let’s do our best to answer your most frequently asked questions.

No, it’s not necessary.

It is sufficient to have a passport with at least 6 months of validity.

Of course!

We’ll put at your disposal reliable professionals with whom we have already worked.

Yes.

You can apply at a local bank. They will request the same information as your hometown bank.

Not at all.

It is widely understood that properties in the tourist areas are mostly income properties and the insurance companies have no problem with that.

Use of the property will not impact the insurance rates whatsoever.

It is recommended, but not an obligation (pay when you go if you over extend your 30 day tourist visa).

It will cost about US$ 10-15 per month that you overstay and you pay at the airport when you leave.

Between 2-5% of the purchase price depending on whether or not the property has a tax abatement (CONFOTUR).

Depends on the bank.
Over 600 allows good chances, but 680+ is ideal.

The qualification standards are very similar to those in the US or Canada.

It’s a buyer’s market and has been that way for the past 20+ years as the country has developed.

1% of the value of the property that exceeds RD$9,520,861 (about US$ 166,000) as of 2024.

So if you have a property worth US$ 200,000 then you would pay taxes on US$ 34,000 at a rate of 1% annually.

  • Your annual taxes would be US$ 340 that can be paid in 2 installments, March and September.
