Does anyone know how to obtain a real estate license to sell properties in the DR? Do you need to have one or where can I apply for one?
Currently there is no law requiring Real Estate Agents to be licensed, and there are many foreigners that advertise their USA licenses, as if this means anything here.
Many people are just referrers and not agents.
The emerging Dominican Republic Real Estate market, called for regulating and licensing of real estate agents in the country- there a new law currently in congress that will be in place within the next year.
Working to achieve this is the ?Asociaci?n de Empresas Inmobiliarias? Asociaci?n de Empresas Inmobiliarias - Rep?blica Dominicana ?a collective membership that identifies a real estate professionals who subscribes to their Code of Ethics.
The AEI is based out of Santo Domingo but they have recently organized their Bavaro-Punta Cana Chapter.

You mean, only foreigners can work in DR as brokers? After 15 years of experience?
No I meant of the 10 years of experience at least 5 should be in the DR.
What about young Brokers, the ones who are just started?
I meant it as a requierement for a brokers license. Not agents. They would have to start out working for a broker.
What about Freelance brokers?
That is what we all are now. Some are organized as a company some are not. Nothing wrong with it as there is no regulation.
Brokers with University? Harvard perheps?
No I meant any University or other higher level education. Ok this was maybe a bad suggestion.
We are in Spanish speaking country.
A lot of people who work with real estate here dont know Spanish very well. Maybe the suggestion with English was a bad idea. But there is a lot of foreigners buying and renting here. Again I was referring to a brokers license not an agents license.
Boyter, read again what you wrote, and make better suggestions.
Yes he (she) can. Si se puede.
From my point of view, agent can work independent from other agent, unless is wearing pampers, No. 56, and can not change it himself (sheself).
Or, for very fat agents, that can not tie the shoes, as for the stomack.
Agent just need a good lawyer for closing.

We still do not use MLS (and I can not see the possible way to make it happened in DR), and we should not implement any US practice at all. First, US is bad example for business, second this is Dominican Republic.
So I came to the US to study my brains out to become a Realtor and all the while I could've sold RE in the DR without so much as picking up a book!!!:ermm:
So not fair.....:squareeye
