Exclusive Real Estate Investments in the Dominican Republic

CaribeExpert Realty supports large-scale investors, family offices and institutional clients in structuring and securing real estate investments in the most dynamic regions of the Caribbean.
We are based in the Dominican Republic and operate at the intersection of local market expertise and international investor expectations.

​

Why the Dominican Republic Attracts Serious Real Estate Investors

The Dominican Republic is one of the most dynamic economies in Latin America and a major tourism hub in the Caribbean. Millions of visitors per year create stable demand for resorts, apartments, villas and boutique hotels. A growing domestic middle class adds further demand for residential projects.

Investors benefit from an investor-friendly legal environment: foreigners can acquire property either in their own name or through local companies. The title and registry system has been modernized, and there are legal instruments for trust structures (fideicomiso) and project vehicles (SRL/SPV). In selected tourism and development zones, fiscal incentives and supportive regulations can improve the risk–return profile of well-structured projects.

​

Who We Work With

CaribeExpert Realty is not a retail broker. This platform is designed for professional and larger-scale investors. We typically work with:

• Family offices from Europe, North America, Latin America and the Middle East

• High-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals

• Real estate developers and construction companies

• Investment companies and specialised funds

• Institutional investors operating through local vehicles

Typical transaction sizes range from USD 500,000 to 50+ million, covering single assets, portfolios, land banks and full developments.

​

Our Core Investment Segments

We focus on regions and asset classes with strong tourism flows, clear development potential and solid long-term fundamentals:

1. Coastal Apartments & Condo Resorts
   Locations such as Bayahibe, Dominicus, Punta Cana, Cap Cana and other key coastal areas.
   Products include serviced apartments, condo-hotel structures and branded residences – suitable for short-term rentals, hotel operations or hybrid models.

2. Luxury Villas & Gated Communities
   High-end villas in secure communities, often with golf courses, marinas and beach clubs.
   Suitable for build-to-sell and build-to-rent strategies, combining capital appreciation with premium rental income.

3. Development Land & Landbanking
   Larger plots in growth corridors and emerging tourism zones.
   Strategies may include acquisition, basic infrastructure, zoning, planning, parcelling and joint ventures – with a focus on value creation through planning and infrastructure.

4. Boutique Hotels & Hospitality Concepts
   Small and medium-sized hotels, eco-lodges, beach clubs and lifestyle concepts.
   Well suited for investors seeking a combination of operational upside and real estate security.

5. Mixed-Use & Urban Concepts
   Projects combining residential, retail and hospitality components in growth areas.
   Attractive for more institutional-style, diversified investments with multiple income streams.

 

 

 

 

The CaribeExpert Realty Advantage

​

Our role goes far beyond “finding a property”. We act as a structuring partner at the side of the investor.

Deal Sourcing & Off-Market Access

• Identification of assets and projects that are not publicly marketed

• Direct relationships with owners, developers and local stakeholders

• Tailor-made sourcing according to your strategy, ticket size and risk profile

​

Structured Due Diligence

• Title checks and verification of ownership rights

• Review of encumbrances, liens and restrictions

• Coordination with experienced local law firms and tax advisors

• Technical and commercial assessments with specialised partners

​

The objective is to reduce information asymmetry, so you can take decisions based on a clear, structured fact base.

Investment Vehicles, Trusts & Fideicomiso

• Support in choosing the right local structure (e.g. SRL/SPV)

• Design and coordination of fideicomiso structures for larger projects

• Assistance in setting up transparent payment flows and security mechanisms

​

Project Development & Value Creation

• Input on concept development and unit mix for residential and resort projects

• Sales and pre-sales strategies for off-plan developments

• Support in operator selection (hotel, rental, property management)

​

Transparent Communication & Reporting

• Regular reporting in English and/or German

• Clear documentation of milestones, cost developments and timelines

• Coordination with your existing advisors and asset managers

​​

How We Work With Investors – Our Process

​

Step 1 – Confidential Strategy Call
Clarification of your investment objectives, ticket sizes, preferred asset classes, risk appetite, leverage preferences and time horizon – via video call or in person in the Dominican Republic.

Step 2 – Project Shortlist
Preparation of a shortlist of pre-selected opportunities, including initial financial snapshots and scenario analysis. You decide which options merit deeper investigation.

Step 3 – Detailed Due Diligence
Legal, tax and technical due diligence coordinated with specialised local partners.
Clear description of identified risks and potential mitigants, with adjustments to deal structure where required.

Step 4 – Transaction & Implementation
Support throughout the closing process: coordination with notaries, banks, trustees and local authorities.
Assistance in setting up management, operator or development agreements.

Step 5 – Ongoing Support & Exit Options
Follow-up on project milestones and performance, support in optimisation measures and repositioning, and preparation of exit strategies (partial sale, refinancing, full disposal).

Our goal is to be your long-term partner, not just a transactional intermediary.

Legal Framework and Risk Notice

​

Real estate investments in the Dominican Republic can offer attractive opportunities, but they always involve risk:

• Changes in market conditions (tourism flows, demand, pricing, regulation)

• Construction and development risks (cost, timing, permitting)

• Currency fluctuations for foreign investors

• Possible changes in legal and tax frameworks

CaribeExpert Realty does not provide regulated investment or securities advice. All decisions should be taken together with your own legal, tax and financial advisors.
However, we can connect you with experienced local professionals to build the right advisory team around your project.
