What is the procedure for purchasing with Iberostate?

  • The buyer selects a property through the sales office. The buyer has to accept the payment method and fill out two forms:
  • Data registration
  • Temporary reservation agreement for property
  • Once these forms are filled out, Iberostate will send via fax or email the contract to be reviewed.
  • Once the contract is reviewed and the clauses are approved by both parties, the client (or legal representative) and Iberostate will sign 3 copies of the contract (one copy for the client, one copy for Iberostar and one copy for the Public Notary).

 

Once these operations are completed, the buyer must send a check in US dollars (or its equivalent in Euros) for the amount agreed upon or make a bank transfer for said amount.
When the keys are handed over to the buyer, the Sales Contract will be signed before a Public Notary in the Dominican Republic. Legal authorization for the signing of this contract must be made through the mandatory diplomatic channels in order to be valid in the DR.
