Buy a property
Buy your apartment or house with someone on your side
I help you find, compare, negotiate and close your purchase in Santo Domingo or Punta Cana, without wasting time on visits that don't fit.
In short
- First we define your goal, budget and how you'll pay. Then we search.
- You only visit properties that fit you, in person or by video call.
- You get the price, closing costs and payment plan in writing before deciding.
- I'm with you through reservation, contract, financing and handover.
What I do for you
A filtered search
Pre-construction projects and finished or resale properties that match what you asked for. No filler.
An honest comparison
Area, price per m², finishes, payment plan and closing costs, side by side.
Negotiation
Price, payment terms and contract conditions. I look for a deal that is good for you.
Review before you sign
Developer, trust, permits and clauses on delays or cancellation, together with the lawyer.
Financing
I help you compare banks for the final payment and gather what they will ask you for.
All the way to handover
Tracking payments, construction progress and receiving the property. I don't disappear after the signature.
Support through the purchase, step by step
Reservation
You hold the unit with a reservation deposit. Beforehand, we check what happens to that money if you decide not to go ahead.
Contract
You review it calmly, with a lawyer: price, payment plan, delivery date, penalties and finishes.
Payments and construction
We keep track of installments and I keep you updated on progress if you buy pre-construction.
Financing
Before the final payment we compare banks and prepare the application in good time.
Handover and title
You receive the property, we check the details and the title is processed in your name.
Before you buy, ask yourself these questions
Bienvenido Paulino Columna, with 40 years in the Dominican market, sums up in this article (in Spanish) the questions that prevent most mistakes:
- What am I really buying for?
- Can I comfortably sustain this investment?
- Am I buying price or value?
- Who is behind the project?
- Do I understand what I'm signing?
In our first conversation we answer together the ones that apply to your case.

Frequently asked questions
Do you charge me for advice on the purchase?
I explain it in our first conversation, depending on the type of transaction. Talking to me and receiving options costs you nothing.
Do you only sell pre-construction projects?
No. Besides the projects I publish here, I sell finished and resale properties. You'll find them on my Plusval profile.
How much does it cost to close a purchase?
On top of the price, plan for the 3% transfer tax, legal fees and, if you finance, loan costs. I explain it with examples in what it really costs to buy an apartment in the DR.
Can you help me if I buy with the Bono Vivienda?
Yes. The Bono Vivienda is a Dominican government subsidy for first-time buyers of low-cost housing. If the home qualifies, I guide you through the requirements and steps. Not every project is eligible, so we confirm it before you reserve.
