Hello, all!
I'm from Alaska, but hope to move to the DR in the next few years, at least on a seasonal basis. I've visited off and on and like the country, the people and even the general chaos. I've been lurking on the message board for quite a while.
My trips to DR have been mostly along the North Coast and Samana simply because as a tourist, that's where the accomodations are.
I can't help but be curious about the SW part of the country though. That area around Barahona/Cabo Beata/Pedernales. I haven't been there, but (on paper) it looks to be very undeveloped and unspoiled. Nobody ever talks about that part of the country... is there some reason for that?
If some Gringo (me) can't stand cities and wants to buy a property near the beach, where should he go for the best deal?
How widely do property prices vary around the country?
Is there a reputable realtor who could help me on a nationwide basis instead of representing just one small area?
