Sosúa, Cabarete & Puerto Plata Real Estate for Sale
Villas, condos, land and pre-construction on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. A local team. Straight answers.
Your North Coast Real Estate Team
Your DR Broker is an independent brokerage focused on the north coast: Sosúa, Cabarete, Puerto Plata and the communities between them. We help buyers from Canada, the US and Europe find resale homes, condos, land and pre-construction, and help owners sell to those same buyers.
Every agent on our team has at least five years of local experience, some more than 20. We know the communities, the buildings and the questions to ask about title, HOA fees and rental rules before you commit.
The Dominican Republic has no MLS, so the same home can appear on several sites at different prices. We sort that out before you spend money or book a flight.

North Coast Pre-Construction

If a project doesn’t fit your timeline or budget, we’ll tell you.

Buying on the North Coast: Common Questions
Can foreigners buy property in the Dominican Republic?
Yes. Foreign buyers have the same property ownership rights as Dominican citizens and do not need residency to buy. See our guides for Canadian buyers and American buyers.
How far are Sosúa, Cabarete and Puerto Plata from the airport?
How far are Sosúa, Cabarete and Puerto Plata from the airport? Gregorio Luperón International Airport (POP) is about 15 minutes from Sosúa, about 30 minutes from Cabarete and about 20 minutes from downtown Puerto Plata.
Is financing available for foreign buyers?
On select properties, yes. Some developers and sellers offer financing, and some local lenders work with foreign buyers. Learn more about Mortgage Financing.
What are the closing costs?
Resale purchases carry a 3% transfer tax, plus legal and registration fees. Your lawyer should confirm the exact costs for your purchase.
Do I need my own lawyer?
Yes. An independent lawyer should run a title search, check for liens and confirm property taxes are paid before you close. We can introduce you to lawyers our clients have used.
Can I rent out my property?
Many owners do. Rental rules vary by community and building, so check the HOA rules before you buy, not after.
Should I buy in Sosúa or Cabarete?
It depends on how you plan to use the property. Sosúa suits buyers who want calm beaches, local services and year-round living. Cabarete suits buyers who want an active beach town and strong vacation rental demand. Learn how to choose here.
