Why You Need a Legal & Compliance Professional

Dominican real estate law differs significantly from US, Canadian, and European systems. An independent lawyer protects you from title fraud, undisclosed liens, and contract terms that favor the seller. Title issues are the #1 risk for foreign buyers in the DR.

Questions to Ask

Before engaging a legal & compliance professional, consider asking:

  • Are you fully independent from the seller and the listing agent?
  • How many foreign-buyer transactions have you closed in the past 12 months?
  • What is your flat fee or fee structure? Are there additional costs for title search, notarization, or CONFOTUR verification?
  • Will you provide a written opinion letter on the title status before closing?
  • How do you handle the escrow / fideicomiso process?
