Thinking about selling your property in the Dominican Republic? You might wonder: “Will my property sell quickly? Will I get the price I deserve?” With RealtorDR, the answer is yes. We guarantee to sell your property within 100 days when you follow our proven method. This isn’t just another promise—it’s backed by real data and proven results.
The #1 Challenge in the Dominican Republic Real Estate Market: Financing
The biggest hurdle in the Dominican Republic’s real estate market is financing. Without a centralized MLS, selling your property can feel complicated and slow—but it doesn’t have to be. The solution is simple: owner financing.
Owner financing allows buyers to skip traditional banks and directly finance the purchase through you, the seller. This method is:
- Fast and efficient
- Allows you to achieve your asking price without discounts
- Makes your property accessible and attractive to buyers
Why Owner Financing Works: Proven Results
Here’s what our data reveals:
- Owner-financed properties sell 2.5 times faster than cash-only sales.
- Sellers achieve 97.3% of their asking price on average.
- Cash sales often involve discounts of 10% or more, but owner-financed sales rarely require price cuts.
Buyers in the Dominican Republic market—often foreign investors and vacation-home seekers—value flexible financing. Offering financing opens your property to a broader pool of serious buyers.
A Recent Success Story
In the past year alone, RealtorDR successfully sold 9 villas in Sosúa Ocean Village through owner financing. Here’s an example: Property: 3-bedroom villa (unfurnished), Price: $469,000, Deal Structure: 50% upfront deposit, remaining financed over 15 years at 8%. The results?
- Buyer’s monthly payment: $2,241
- Total interest paid over 15 years: $168,880
- Total amount paid (deposit + principal + interest): $637,880
Owner financing clearly benefits both seller and buyer, making transactions smoother and faster.
