Is it relatively simple to acquire property in the Dominican Republic?
A. Acquiring property here in the Dominican Republic is a straightforward transaction. However, foreigners purchasing property outside of their native countries are urged to exercise caution. The realtor and notario working with you throughout the process should be able to assist you. Hiring your own attorney is something you may wish to consider. It is common for realtors to recommend attorneys whom they know and trust. You are ultimately responsible for due diligence with your attorney to ensure that all documentation ranging from title searches to surveys to furniture inventories (if applicable) has been properly verified and processed.
