From first conversation to confident decision — here's how it works.
A clear process designed around one goal: giving you the facts you need before you commit capital to Dominican Republic real estate.
Four steps. One informed decision.
Every engagement follows the same structured process — whether you need a contract review, full due diligence, or closing support.
Tell Gonzalo about your situation.
A 15-minute call where you explain what you're looking at, where the property is, and what stage you're at in the process. Gonzalo listens, asks the right questions, and tells you which service makes sense — or if you don't need one at all.
Share your documents. We start working.
Once you decide to proceed, you share the relevant documents — purchase agreement, property details, developer information. CanaLaw begins the legal analysis immediately.
Receive your documented legal opinion.
Within 3 to 5 business days, Gonzalo delivers a written report covering every area relevant to your engagement — title status, permits, contract analysis, developer background — depending on the service.
The report doesn't use legal jargon. It explains what was found, what it means for you, and what you should do about it. Every report ends with a clear recommendation:
You decide what happens next.
With the facts in hand, you make the call. If the recommendation is GO, you proceed with confidence. If it's GO WITH CONDITIONS, you can use the report as leverage to negotiate better terms. If it's NO-GO, you walk away knowing you avoided a problem — not regretting one.
What to expect in the free consultation.
The initial call is 15 minutes. No preparation needed. Gonzalo just needs to understand your situation to give you useful guidance.
By the end of the call, you'll know whether you need legal protection, which service fits, and what the next step is — even if that next step is "do nothing."
Where is the property?
Region-specific risks vary. Punta Cana is different from Las Terrenas.
What stage are you at?
Looking, negotiating, about to sign, or already signed — each stage needs a different approach.
What's your main concern?
Title, contract terms, developer reputation, closing process — Gonzalo focuses on what matters most to you.
What happens if the recommendation is NO-GO?
Nothing. That's the whole point.
There's no penalty for walking away from a bad deal. CanaLaw's fee is the same whether you buy or not. If the Property Check finds problems that make the investment unsafe, the report tells you exactly what was found — and you decide.
A NO-GO recommendation isn't a failure. It's the service working exactly as designed. The cost of a legal opinion is a fraction of the cost of a problem you discover after you've already paid.
Choose the right level of protection.
Three services, each designed for a different stage of the process. Gonzalo will recommend which one fits during the free consultation.
