Punta Cana Lifestyle Real
Estate understands that each property owner’s reasons for selling are unique,
but the end goal remains the same. The
goal is to sell your home at the "best price," which is determined by
variables such as comparable sales, location, market demand, condition of
property and timing.
Every property has its own
unique value. Our professional team of motivated and innovative real estate
agents, along with the company’s marketing program, offer much more than just a
website upload and a “For Sale” sign, to attract buyers.
Why Punta Cana Lifestyle Real Estate?
Other agencies may entice you
to list "exclusively" but while they lack the resources or marketing
“know-how,” it only benefits the listing broker, limiting the marketing of your
property and reaching a smaller percentage of buyers.
Our team of Professional Sales
and Marketing Agents, has a colorful and extensive varied background of
education and experience in the local Dominican, European and North American
markets, who develop and implement
sales and marketing strategies for each client and property, creating unrivaled expertise in the
area.
Importance of Marketing and Collaboration
The importance of advertising
your Resort Property for sale or rental is obvious, but the effectiveness of
your ads and proper exposure is something that many owners and agencies, often
don't pay much attention to.
With the current market
conditions, Punta Cana Lifestyle Real Estate will do an extensive amount of
proper advertising for each property as it will appeal to its clients, and will
also connect with other agencies, who may be working with qualified buyers
currently searching for Resort Properties similar to yours.
Exclusive Property Catalogue
We also
market directly to in-town tourists, and local residents, through the use of
our Property catalogue.
The Punta
Cana Lifestyle catalogue is the only dedicated
print property guide in the area, connecting directly to discerning visitors
and residents who are interested in purchasing or renting properties in the
area.
Online Opportunities
At Punta Cana Lifestyle Real
Estate, we believe the most effective marketing tool to get your house out to
as many potential buyers as quickly as possible, is via the Internet. We invest in massive marketing campaigns to
make sure each property is marketed through the correct channels, maximizing
exposure and generating interest by the right prospects. The
internet provides an opportunity, not only reaching the Punta Cana Travel and
Business market place directly, but audiences worldwide. Our growing active presence on the social media world of Facebook and Twitter where
our online community has reached more than 1000 members
combined, is also a proven effective lead generator. The bottom line is that our credibility and can penetrate the market
directly to the core target group.
Why Our Exclusive Sales & Marketing Agreement works
Agents have little reason to
show your property if their efforts don't pay off in a commission. In addition, why should your own broker work
hard and spend hundreds of dollars marketing your home, if another agency
benefits from the results? You get what
you pay for.
When you list an Exclusive
listing with Punta Cana Lifestyle Real Estate, you give us –your Exclusive
Agent- the sole right to list and sell the property, do all of the marketing
and do our best to get you the highest possible price. If another broker is involved in recruiting a
buyer, we will share the commission with the other broker.
What if you stumbled over a buyer yourself by accident and cinched the
deal? In this case, Punta Cana Lifestyle Real Estate keeps a one percent
(1%) marketing fee for all advertising and publicity expenses.

A good, reputable lawyer, is important
when purchasing in the Dominican Republic. I recently requested thsi
text from a local lawyer, Lic. Angel David Lebron Santos, to help get a
quick overview of the tax benefits when investing in the Dominican
Republic.

Living in the Dominican Republic: Benefits and Exemptions
The Dominican Republic with its numerous
resources, is well positioned as an ideal place for foreigners wishing
to purchase property, work, , invest, and retirement destination.
Whether you are looking to invest or just relocate, the Dominican
Republic offers different types of residency options to meet your needs.
Once you obtain your Dominican
Residency, whether it is temporary or permanent, you immediately acquire
a number of benefits granted by the Dominican Republic, which include
major incentives which include the following:
- Customs tax exemption on home furnishings and personal property
that includes appliances, furniture, etc… if owned at least one (1) year
previous to importing these items;
- No longer required to pay for a tourist card upon entering the country;
- You are able to work legally in any company in the country;
- You will have completed the first step to obtain your Dominican citizenship, if interested.
One of the best and recent developments
in the Dominican Republic in foreign investment has been the creation
and publication of the Law on Special Incentives for Foreign Pensioners
and Annuitants (Law 171-07). Foreign retirees and annuitants, who wish
to reside in the Dominican Republic and enjoy their pension from abroad,
can apply for benefits and incentives granted by the law indicated.
To do this, pensioners must receive a
monthly income of not less than One Thousand Five Hundred U.S. Dollars
(U.S. $ 1,500.00), and the Annuitant shall receive a monthly sum for Two
Thousand Dollars (U.S. $ 2,000.00) or its equivalent in local currency .
-The exemptions and benefits in the legislation referred to above include:
- Exemption from taxes on home furnishings and personal property (Law 143-93) .
- Partial Tax Exemption of motor vehicles (Act 168, amended by Law 146-00) .
- Exemption from transfer taxes on real estate transfers for the first property acquired;
- Exemption from taxes on the payment of dividends and interest generated in the country or abroad;
- 50% exemption of taxes on mortgages, financial institutions regulated by the Monetary and Financial Law, acting as creditor;
- 50% exemption of tax on property, where it applies, and
- 50% exemption of capital gains tax when the Pensioner or Annuitant is the senior partner in the society.
