Real Estate & Tourism

About

Provided by Guzmán Ariza

Guzmán Ariza is the largest law firm practicing real estate and tourism law in the Dominican Republic, and the only one with a large nationwide clientele, divided among the island’s three major tourist destinations, and the city of Santo Domingo. We advise more clients in more transactions and locations than any other firm in the Dominican Republic.

It is important to note that most real estate and tourism-related transactions on the island take place outside of the city of Santo Domingo, which is not a major tourist destination. For this reason, the fact that we have offices not only in Santo Domingo but also in every developed tourist destination – where we are the largest law office in existence – gives us a decisive competitive advantage since we can provide clients in those regions with more cost-efficient and timely service than our competitors, not to mention that our lawyers are abreast of many local issues ignored by our colleagues from other firms.

Our capabilities span all aspects of the real estate industry, including the following:

• Due diligence
• Purchase and sale of commercial and residential properties
• Purchase and sale of developments and hotels
• Condominiums and Homeowner Associations
• Tax incentives for real estate developments
• Rental / lease agreements
• Brokerage arrangements
• Timeshare projects
• Condominiums and owners’ associations
• Foreclosures and evictions
• Title insurance
• Boundaries, easements and rights of way
• Mortgages
• Liens
• Construction contracts
• Property management
