BUYING APARTMENT WITH REMAX
What is Deslinde?
What is deslinde? How does one go about getting one? How much does it cost to get one? Is it the same in all the Republic, or is it different by Province?

I do not recommend buying an apartment here in 🇩🇴 .
And this is after buying one.
In fact I do not recommend buying real estate in 🇩🇴.
Why❓
Because it is not my job to tell other people what to do with their time and money.
But if someone asks, I have no problem sharing my experiences.
This is a excellent point‼️Here in LT, we have North American buyers who didn't even get a taste of the sun yet (!!!), asking about what is the best neighborhoods to buy. Of course, realtors and cogedores are more than welcome to help.
The fact that someone plan on dropping 300K+ in a place they have never set foot in will forever baffle me, whether it s DR or not. Makes me wonder if they know something I don't know
But some cannot understand why I drop 200+/USD each on two sticks to play 🎾
100 USD+ on my 👟 shoes
Or a 1000+ pm my sticks to play white ball 🏌️♂️⛳
One of the things I have found it that owners of 🇩🇴 Real Estate (expletive redacted) with you too much when you rent for my personal taste.
Once I decided I was going to spend a extensive amount of time here
That is when I decided I would buy an apartment here.
I get that feeling ("makes me wonder if they know something I don't know") every time I get overbid on a property that I want to buy to flip in the states. I know EXACTLY what you are talking about. I get over it real quick becuase I have learned all about the "Bigger Fool Theory".Here in LT, we have North American buyers who didn't even get a taste of the sun yet (!!!), asking about what is the best neighborhoods to buy.

I know one bad egg doesnt damage the others (or something like that) but it seems like you are contradicting yourself.. you say you should not smear realtors here in the DR but then you say that a realtor here is not going to this and that... Well that's what they are supposed to do!!! They are supposed to help and guide you and make sure you arent buying a dud AND their interest is getting paid (by completing a sale)! so WTF? Then you have TO FORM A TEAM? If I had the resources and $$ to form a team to do something that should be simple for me I would be successful at everything! I must have read your post wrong...but doesnt make sense to me.
Here's an example of a shoddy group. LUCKY'S HOME, LUCKY'S REALTY. They have a few other names. I think the guy or gal in charge is named Luciano (maybe last name). They also have various phone numbers. And a clover leaf as a symbol ..of course
Anyway two years ago I was looking for buying a place and they would pop up on emarket, corotos, eavisos, everywhere. I would see a place i like and call them but it was sold or they never reply or they took weeks to respond. Great. Looking around in January, best prices for great places are all listed with them. Hey, many of those places were sold when I called before. Called now, not available, not available.. i sent 5 properties newly listed and they were not available or I have to call another of their agents who never respond. So why are they listing properties that arent for sale?! I mean on some of the sites it shows when the post was made so I know it wasnt an old post.
Anyway watch out for them.

I am not going to explain it to you.
Sit on the sidelines.
This game ain't for you bro‼️

Welcome to the 🇩🇴

You absolutely need a good attorney. Needs to check for HOA fees due and unpaid, He should do a title search, too - in case there is a lien against the title/property.
The cost of a good attorney is 1% of the transaction price.
In the DR, all real estate agents and "brokers" are ALL UNLICENSED. It's the Wild West, brother!
"Shoddy group", "watch out for them", "so why are they listing them"?
I spent about 4 minutes at their " sites". I don't think they are shoddy, IMHO they are good at their game of affiliate advertising. It seems to me they have figured out how to attract a lot of traffic and they are making a good deal of money by being "real estate advisors "(which is what they describe themselves as).You on the other hand have spent a great deal of time wastefully, calling and calling with no results and not knowing their game. That didn't help you your goal.
Up your game and get smarter than the next guy, who knows exactly why they are "listing" them.
Its good you spent 4 minutes with them.. I started 2 years ago with them and after about 4 listings and realizing they dont sell anything i just kept "bothering" them every time I saw they had a place listed...none were available. My last contact with them was in January and I sent them about 6 properties that were all scams.
On the other hand, anyone looking to buy a place and sees what could be an opportunity will be calling and calling until they realize somethings wrong..thats what happened to me. I think anywhere you go thats a part of the rat race....If you think thats a waste of time, then you are much better off than I and you can pick and choose properties to buy at a whim.
Anyway, seems like you took my Lucky's post a bit personal...I dont know how you would know if they make a great deal of money as "real estate advisors" since thats just a vague label (which means realtor) and they are BUCONAS (dont know if its spelled right) Did you pay for something?! Or are you a relative?
I think they are listing them as all the Buconas on all these bienes raices websites... bait and switch... and then get a finders fee if successful.
Anyway they also rent places... maybe thats their day job.
#1 as everyone said, get a lawyer
#2 dont buy a place with renters inside.
then repeat number 1 and 2 over and over
I added #2 because I have heard horror stories about people who buy a place and the sellers or renters that are there dont move out! Lawyers here told me that it is a costly and long process to get someone out of "their home"... best to avoid it.
While I do like your poetry(?), please be coherent, especially trying to avoid contradicting yourself.
I have noooo idea what you are talking about (buconas).You read my post completely wrong. Have a good evening and in your spare time I suggest you catch up on reading about affiliate revenue sharing.
Now, sometimes I don red o spel 2 gud.
But I have not contradicted myself.
I have explained my experiences.
You do not like my explanation.
So instead you wish to invalidate my experiences.
I am sorry you cannot find a realtor here in 🇩🇴 that will hold your hand and lead to you the property you can buy and live in happily ever after.
I have given you the formula I used for success.
"Great things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle" - Who said it❓
Yep the truth hurts‼️
For the life of me I don't know what you are trying to accomplish! More than two years callling a company that doesn't respond to you and you continue to "bother them". For what?? Then you come to the forum board and accuse them as shoddy, scammers, etc. And accuse me of, who knows what?
Get a life, grow up, and find a purpose.
These forums are like Latino soap operas on tv. You can't understand a word they're saying but they're a riot.
