Frequently Asked Questions in the Punta Cana real estate market

How much do I have to pay an agent to help me buy a house in Punta Cana?

Home buyers do not have to pay fees to a broker when buying a house in Punta Cana.

Most home sales involve two real estate agents: one representing the seller and one representing the buyer.

Listing agents represent sellers and collect fees for representing them and marketing the property.
Agents who represent buyers (aka buyer’s agents) get paid by referring listings to brokers to bring buyers to the negotiating table. When the home sells, the listing agent and the buyer’s agent split the listing costs. Therefore, buyers do not pay their agents.
