REAL ESTATE ASSESSMENT TOUR (Offered by HGTV known Maria Williams – Broker)

Perhaps you have been doing some research pertaining to a real estate purchase somewhere tropical and warm – your dream vacation home?
Reliable Realty is the originator of the very popular Real Estate Assessment Tour. Most of our clients are amazed at how affordable owning property in this area can be. However, It is impossible to make a sound investment decision without evaluating the local area and the amenities offered. We believe the lifestyle is just as important as the amazing properties our agency has to offer. During the fun, yet extensive assessment tour, you will learn more about Punta Cana; the lifestyle, the amazing real estate opportunities, the buying process, tax incentives, property management aspects, as well as numerous interesting and beneficial cultural tid-bits, that would typically take the average expat 6+ months to learn on their own. The tours are fun and, we have been told, are the most informative tours our clients have ever taken. This full or half day tour is beneficial if you are first-time visitors and want to get the most out of your Dominican trip, and a MUST if you’re planning to purchase a vacation home, work or retire here (either full-time or part-time). We do not profit from this tour. The costs throughout the day are break-even. Instead it allows us the comfort of working with serious investors.
