Curated by your buyer-side broker

Punta Cana Village (PCV) is the residential heart inside Punta Cana Resort — international school, plaza with supermarket, walking-distance restaurants and zero through-traffic. 3-bed villas from $480k, condos from $180k. Top pick for expats who actually live here. Our local Dominican broker partner works exclusively on the buyer's side. Before anything is shown to you, every project is filtered against your budget, your target ROI and your exit horizon — so the list you see is short, honest, and built around your numbers, not ours.

How the scouting works

Step 1 — a 20-minute WhatsApp call to lock down budget, financing, target yield and lifestyle priorities. Step 2 — we build a shortlist of 6–12 vetted units that genuinely fit. Step 3 — an in-person property tour (or video walk-through if you can't fly in yet) with full numbers per unit: price, HOA, electricity, taxes, realistic Airbnb ADR and occupancy. Step 4 — independent valuation and title check before any offer.

Only deals that make sense

We will tell you to walk away from a property if the numbers don't work — even when it costs us the deal. No commission chasing, no inflated pre-construction promises, no "trust me" rentals projections. If a building is overpriced versus comparable sales or its real Airbnb performance, you'll see it on paper before we ever sit down with a notary.

What you actually get

Independent comparable-sales analysis, real Airbnb performance pulled from buildings we've already sold, full title study (deslinde + Título de Propiedad), escrow in US dollars, notary coordination, and post-closing setup: RNC tax ID, Airbnb licence, property-management introductions. Buyer-side fees are transparent and disclosed in writing before the tour.

Next step

Send us a WhatsApp with your budget, your timeline and what you're trying to achieve (cashflow, capital gains, vacation home, residency). Within 24 hours you'll get a written shortlist with prices, real ROI math and what we'd skip and why. No registration, no spam — just one human reply.

Why PCV is the choice for actual residents, not investors

Punta Cana Village sits behind the original Punta Cana Resort gate (Grupo PUNTACANA, est. 1969) — the only fully walkable residential village on the East coast. Inside the 4 km perimeter: Punta Cana International School (IB curriculum, K-12, $14k–$18k/yr), Galerías Punta Cana plaza with Nacional supermarket, pharmacy, banks and 14 restaurants, the original Punta Cana Hotel beaches (Playa Blanca, La Cana), and the Tortuga Bay / Corales Golf section for villa stock. ADR for short-term rentals is intentionally suppressed here because the HOA caps daily rentals in most blocks — this is a long-term-tenant / owner-occupier market with 12-month leases of $1,800–$3,500 for condos and $4,500–$9,000 for villas. School-cycle demand (Aug–June) keeps occupancy near 100%.

FAQ

Common questions

How does your broker partner get paid?+

Standard buyer-side commission paid by the seller / developer at closing — it does not increase your purchase price. Our fee is disclosed in writing before any tour, and we never accept hidden referral kickbacks from developers.

Will you show me overpriced new-builds because they pay higher commissions?+

No. We benchmark every project against real comparable sales and against real Airbnb performance in the same area. If a developer is 15–20% above market or projecting unrealistic yields, we will tell you and skip it — even if their commission is double.

Can I walk away after the property tour?+

Always. The scouting tour exists so you can rule things out. Most of our serious buyers visit 8–12 units and only 2–3 survive the numbers — that's the point.

Are there hidden closing fees?+

No. Standard Dominican closing costs are 3% transfer tax + ~1% notary + ~$500 title insurance. Anything else (legal, escrow, due diligence) is quoted upfront and itemised — no surprises at signing.

Do you cover Cap Cana, Bávaro, Cocotal and Cana Bay equally?+

Yes. We're area-agnostic — we go where the numbers and your brief point. The shortlist will mix areas if that's what fits, or focus on one if that's what makes sense.

Cash only or is financing possible?+

Most deals close in cash USD, but Dominican banks now offer 50–60% LTV mortgages to foreigners at 7.5–9% on completed properties. We introduce you to two banks for quotes — no obligation.

What happens after closing?+

We hand you off to vetted property managers (18–22% of revenue, no exclusivity locks), help you onboard with Airbnb / Booking, and stay reachable on WhatsApp for whatever comes up in year one.

Can I do Airbnb in Punta Cana Village?+

In most HOAs, no — minimum-stay rules are 30 or 90 days, by design. A few buildings allow it (e.g. select Tortuga Bay residences) but expect to pay an above-market price for the right. If your strategy is short-term Airbnb, look at Bávaro, Cap Cana's Fishing Lodge, or Cana Bay instead. PCV is the right buy if you actually want to live here, have kids in the international school, or want a stable long-term tenant pool of resort executives and pilots.
