Selling in Cabarete: Straight Answers
What is my property actually worth?
What a buyer will pay, not what your neighbor is asking. I value from live market data and recent sales, and you get real numbers within 48 hours of requesting a valuation. If the honest number disappoints, you hear it anyway. That is the job.
How long will it take to sell?
Real talk: priced right, good properties in Cabarete attract serious interest within weeks. Overpriced ones sit for years and go stale. The pricing conversation up front is the most important one we will have.
What documents do I need to sell?
Your Certificado de Titulo, up-to-date IPI property tax receipts or proof of exemption, HOA statements if it is a condo, and your passport or cedula. I review the file with your lawyer before we list so nothing surfaces mid-deal.
Can I sell if I live abroad?
Yes, and many of my sellers do. A power of attorney lets your lawyer handle the closing, and I take care of photos, showings, and buyer questions here on the ground. You do not need to fly in.
What will selling cost me?
The buyer pays the 3 percent transfer tax. You pay the agreed commission and, depending on your situation, capital gains tax on the profit; your lawyer confirms the exact figure before we list. Everything is agreed in writing up front. No surprise deductions at the closing table.
Why list with you?
Because I tell you the truth at valuation, market to buyers who actually close, and handle the DR-specific paperwork that trips people up. And you get professional photos, not phone snaps. Sin cuentos.
