How to Resell Your Property in Punta Cana Without Losing Money
Selling a property in Punta Cana can be very profitable… if you do it right.

I’ve helped many clients sell their properties successfully, even when the market was slower.
1️⃣ Choose the right timing
Real estate also has seasons.
In Punta Cana, the high tourist season (December to April) is usually ideal for selling, since more potential buyers are visiting the area.
Good timing can be the difference between selling fast or waiting months.
2️⃣ Present your property professionally
Photos matter—a lot.
Invest in professional photography and, if possible, a walkthrough video.
A well-presented property generates more interest and can justify a better price.
3️⃣ Make small upgrades before selling
Sometimes a fresh coat of paint, better lighting, or improved décor can increase perceived value and help you close at a higher price.
4️⃣ Know your property’s real value
Don’t price at random.
Request a professional valuation based on recent sales of comparable properties in your area.
5️⃣ Work with an agent experienced in the local market
An agent who knows Punta Cana and has access to international buyers can help you sell faster and at a better price.
An experienced agent also knows how to negotiate to protect your returns.
Real example
A client of mine bought an apartment in Bávaro in 2019 for $160,000.
Three years later, we sold it during high season for $192,000 thanks to aesthetic upgrades and a marketing strategy targeting buyers from Canada and the U.S.
He achieved a net 20% gain after expenses.
Conclusion
Selling well isn’t luck—it’s strategy.
If you apply these steps, you’ll have a much better chance of recovering your investment and making money.
