The Investment Case

Invest in Cabarete

Everything you need to know about buying, investing, and earning in the Dominican Republic’s most dynamic real estate market.

Choose Your Property

Browse our listings, attend a site visit, or explore pre-construction opportunities. Our agents provide market comparables and investment analysis before you make any decision.

Make an Offer

Your agent drafts an Offer to Purchase, presented to the seller. Once terms are agreed, a binding Promise of Sale is prepared by a licensed Dominican attorney and signed by both parties.

Due Diligence

Your attorney conducts title searches, verifies the deslinde (cadastral designation), confirms there are no liens or encumbrances, and reviews construction permits where applicable.

Deposit & Progress Payments

A 10% deposit reserves the property. Payment schedules vary by property type — resales typically close within 60–90 days; pre-construction follows milestone payments.

Closing

Title transfer is completed at the Title Registry. For company purchases, share ownership transfers. Transfer tax (3%) and closing costs apply. CONFOTUR properties may be exempt.

Post-Closing

We help you connect utilities, set up HOA accounts, arrange insurance, and if desired, onboard your property with By The Sea for rental management.
