Frequently asked questions from investors
How does buying a property in the Dominican Republic remotely work?
You choose a unit, we go through an online consultation, then comes the reservation, document review, a payment plan tied to construction, and after completion the transfer of ownership and securing the title deed. I coordinate the whole process with the local project office in the DR.
Can EU foreigners buy property in the Dominican Republic?
Yes, foreign buyers can own property in the DR. The process goes through the local legal and project office. As an intermediary I guide you through document preparation and coordination with the developer – I am not a lawyer; independent legal review is recommended.
Why choose an intermediary for the purchase?
Communication with authorities and the developer happens in Spanish, requires repeated trips to the country and long-term coordination. As Aneta Franek I keep the schedule, handle document delivery and resolve complications, so you don't have to oversee everything yourself.
Is the rental return guaranteed?
No. All stated yields and paybacks are indicative estimates based on model assumptions. The actual result depends on occupancy, costs, season and market development.
What do payments look like for an off-plan project?
Typically there is a reservation fee, a portion on signing the contract, then milestones tied to the construction phase, with the balance on handover. The exact split is set by the developer's purchase contract.
What currency are prices shown in?
We list offers primarily in euros (EUR) for clarity for EU investors. The contract may state the price in USD depending on the developer – consult a professional about exchange rate impact.
How accessible are the airports?
Bayahíbe is in La Romana province. The nearest airport is La Romana (approx. 25 min.), the main international hub is Punta Cana (approx. 60 min.). The area is a popular tourist destination with good connectivity.
Do I need to travel to the Dominican Republic in person?
Much of the purchase can be handled remotely with support from the local office. A personal visit is advisable before deciding and often at handover. I travel to the DR regularly and oversee the process on your behalf.
Will you take care of the property after completion?
Yes, I offer property management: communication with tenants and managers, oversight of repairs, coordination of service technicians and regular updates on the state of your property.
Who handles the legal side of the purchase?
The legal and contractual part is handled by the local project office and its legal partners. I do not act as a lawyer or tax advisor; I always recommend consulting a professional in both the EU and the DR.
