I originally contacted Gigi back in 2023 to explore options for purchasing a home in the Dominican Republic. I had previously viewed properties through another agency in Punta Cana, but after speaking with Gigi, she encouraged me to consider relocating to the North Coast instead.
As a Louisiana native, one of my major concerns was hurricanes. Gigi explained how the mountains in the area act as a natural barrier, helping protect the North Coast from severe storms. She also added me to the Realtor DR mailing list, sending me property listings periodically while I figured out exactly what I wanted. I appreciated that she wasn’t just speaking as a real estate professional, but as someone who lives in and genuinely loves the community.
After about a year of researching the area and available homes, I was ready to take the next step. I reached out to Gigi with a list of homes I was interested in and the dates I would be in the D.R. to view them. In total, I had selected around sixteen properties. Gigi made the entire process effortless. We coordinated through email and WhatsApp to narrow down the list based on my preferences, and we ultimately settled on ten homes to view.
When I arrived in the Dominican Republic, Gigi had everything scheduled over a two-day period. Despite the distance between properties, she remained professional, efficient, and accommodating throughout the process. Once I narrowed my decision down to two homes, Gigi arranged second visits to help me make the final choice, the one that was the perfect fit for my family.
Gigi was always responsive and never made me feel rushed, she truly listened to what I needed. As a first-time homebuyer in the Dominican Republic, she also took the time to clearly explain all the nuances and differences compared to buying property elsewhere, which gave me a lot of confidence throughout the process.
She helped negotiate the purchase price with the seller’s agent and connected me with a trusted lawyer, home inspector, and property insurance provider to ensure everything was handled properly. On closing day, I was given flexible options in case I couldn’t return in person, but thankfully, I was able to be there. Gigi joined me for the final walk-through, and I finally received the keys to my new home in Casa Linda, paradise at last!
Now it’s time to get new furnishings and remodel my home, and Gigi has continued to be a great resource. She connected me with professional contractors and designers to help add personal touches before my family arrives. I couldn’t have asked for a more dedicated, knowledgeable, and supportive agent.
If you’re considering buying a home in the Dominican Republic, I can’t recommend Gigi enough.
