This week's pick

Two condos, one rooftop, one fantastic price.

A 2BR + 1BR pair above one of Sosúa's most beloved restaurants — with a private rooftop terrace and a per-square-meter price that's hard to find on the north coast. The seller is offering $77,000 in financing for 12 months to qualified buyers.

How we pick: each week our team selects one property where location, lifestyle, and price-per-m² genuinely stand out. Sellers can submit a property for consideration — our team reviews every submission for value and quality before featuring it.

★ Why we built this

We were once where you are now.

We're Americans who moved to the Dominican Republic for the same reasons most of you are considering it — the climate, the cost of living, the pace, the long-term opportunity, and a Caribbean lifestyle that doesn't require a passport stamp every six months.
Like most expats, we thought we'd done our homework. We hadn't. We overpaid on our first property, because the listing price in the DR isn't really the price. We lost a deposit on a deal that never closed, because nobody told us what to check before wiring funds. We hired the wrong attorney, took the wrong recommendations, and learned — slowly and expensively — that the DR rewards people who know the local rules and punishes everyone else.
That's why I♥DR Realty exists. We built the platform we wished we'd had when we started: verified listings, transparent pricing, a bilingual team that's lived through the process, and the practical answers that don't appear in any guidebook.
★ Lessons we paid for, so you don't have to

Six mistakes we made — and how we help you skip them

📝
The mistake
"We trusted a single-language contract."
How we fixed it
Every contract is now reviewed in both English and Spanish — and we flag the clauses Americans typically miss.
🔍
The mistake
"We put down a deposit before the title search."
How we fixed it
We never let a client place earnest money until the Conservaduría record comes back clean.
💼
The mistake
"We hired the cheapest attorney we could find."
How we fixed it
Our network of vetted DR attorneys has handled hundreds of foreign-buyer closings — we'll introduce you to two or three.
🏝️
The mistake
"We assumed CONFOTUR savings were automatic."
How we fixed it
It isn't. We verify CONFOTUR eligibility before you buy and walk you through the paperwork after.
💸
The mistake
"We didn't budget for the closing costs nobody mentioned."
How we fixed it
Our ROI calculator includes the 3% transfer tax, 1% IPI, notary fees, and every line item we got surprised by.
🤝
The mistake
"We took recommendations from people who'd never bought property."
How we fixed it
Every team member here owns property in the DR or has helped a family member buy. No exceptions.
"If we'd had a team like ours when we started, we'd have closed our first DR property six months sooner — and paid forty thousand dollars less."
