Punta Cana

Do you want to know your protections?

Our role is to make sure you buy
a free and clear property

By acting as your Real Estate lawyers, we will do all the verifications needed to confirm that you are buying a legitimate, free, and clear property.
As part of our role, we will be able to protect your best interest in performing, among others, the following research:

Title Research

Contract Verification

Contract Negotiation

Translation of Legal Document

Title Transfer

Understanding the
buying process

The offer to purchase, also known as a reservation form or letter of intent, is the first binding document between buyer and seller to avoid misunderstanding or future problems. We highly recommend that this document be drafted or reviewed by a real estate attorney.

Right after you have found the property of your choice, it is highly recommended to hire an experienced real estate lawyer. The real estate attorney is the person in charge of handling the whole transaction and performing all the verifications.
Due diligence is a process carried out in order to identify potential or existing problems. To carry out proper due diligence, an extensive verification of all the documents that prove ownership is necessary. It is highly recommended that this process is conducted by a real estate lawyer when buying a pre-construction or resale property.
The day of closing is when all documents relating to the title transfer are executed for the benefit of the buyers, and full payment of the sale price is made for the benefit of the sellers. The real estate lawyer must ensure that all conditions have been met and all necessary documents have been handed over.
The title transfer has to be initiated and filled by the acting real estate lawyer right after the closing. When the transfer of all property rights has been completed, the new owners will receive an original title deed in their names.

Pre-Construction

The increasing arrival of tourists and the high demand for accommodation through Airbnb, especially in Punta Cana, which offers accommodation to more than 40% of tourists visiting the Dominican Republic, has accelerated the pre-construction market. But buying a pre-construction property is more than just looking at beautiful pictures and renderings; extensive legal work and research must be performed before giving the yes to the developer. Given that we do not have title insurance in the Dominican Republic, it is crucial to have a real estate attorney to ensure that everything is legit, accessible, and transparent.

Confotur

Confotur is a tax incentives program established by law in the Dominican Republic to support developers and buyers interested in investing in tourism facilities and accommodations. Through Confotur, the first buyers of Confotur-eligible properties will be exonerated from the payment of property transfer taxes and up to 15 years of property tax exoneration, among considerable tax incentives in place for developers.

I recently had an incredible experience working with OCC Lawyers Real Estate Company, and I cannot emphasize enough how grateful I am for their unwavering support and diligent actions that helped me secure the rightful title to my condo. Their expertise and dedication made all the difference in this challenging situation. After purchasing my dream condo, I was blindsided by the fact that I had paid cash for the condo, had the correct representation, attorneys and developers in place but over months and years of promises of getting the title transferred to my name, it never happen. I was in a state of feeling helpless and worried about the fate of my investment until I met Johan and his team. After they listened to my problem and concerns, they immediately set forth and put a plan in place. Their deep understanding of the legal intricacies surrounding real estate transactions was apparent as they meticulously examined every document involved, leaving no stone unturned. Johan words to me were “Don’t worry we will get this taken care of”. Throughout the entire process, OCC Lawyers and team maintained open and clear communication, ensuring that I was constantly updated on the progress and addressing any questions or concerns I had. They were always prompt in responding to my inquiries, providing me with reassurance and guidance every step of the way. Their network of experienced professionals, including lawyers and title experts, worked tirelessly to uncover the issues surrounding my condo's title. Their knowledge and expertise were instrumental in identifying the documents and gathering the necessary paperwork to get the problem resolved. OCC Lawyers Real Estate Company and team negotiation skills were truly impressive as they engaged in rigorous discussions and negotiations with the developer, Dominican Government, etc. never relenting until a satisfactory resolution was reached. Their commitment to protecting my interests and ensuring justice prevailed was truly remarkable. As a result of their unwavering efforts, I am delighted to finally hold the title to my condo. Johan and Yunior are my angels because without them I would have lost my investment. I cannot express enough gratitude for their exceptional services, professionalism, determination and dedication. They safeguarded my investment and also provided invaluable peace of mind. If you find yourself in a similar situation or are seeking a real estate company that goes above and beyond to protect your interests, I wholeheartedly recommend OCC Lawyers Real Estate Company. Their expertise, integrity, and unwavering commitment to their clients set them apart. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Thank you, OCC Lawyers Real Estate Company, for turning what could have been a devastating situation into a success story. You have earned my utmost respect and trust, and I wish you all the blessings in the world. Splendora
