Halloween may only come once a year, but for many homeowners and buyers, real estate nightmares can happen anytime. Imagine buying your dream home, only to discover unreported CRIM debt. Or listing your property at the wrong price, watching it sit for months while buyers vanish.
Just like in a haunted house, the shadows of poor planning and lack of professional guidance can creep up fast. The good news? You don’t need to fear the real estate process. With the right team on your side, you can avoid the “tricks” and enjoy the “treats” of a smooth, profitable transaction.
Selling a home in Puerto Rico can be rewarding—but without guidance, it can quickly become a horror show. Here are the top nightmares sellers face:
One of the most common mistakes is setting the price too high.
Overpriced homes linger on the market, lose buyer interest, and often end up selling for less than they would have with the right pricing strategy.
Small issues (roof leaks, plumbing problems, electrical faults) become big buyer objections.
Inspectors will uncover these issues, and buyers may either back out or demand costly concessions.
Properties in Puerto Rico sometimes have incomplete registry updates, inheritance complications, or boundary disputes.
Without clearing title early, sellers risk delays or even losing deals.
💡 Lesson for Sellers: Preparation is everything. Pricing, property condition, and paperwork must be handled correctly to avoid a frightening experience.
Buyers can also fall victim to terrifying mistakes if they rush in without proper due diligence.
Skipping inspections to “close fast” is like walking blind into a haunted house.
Hidden structural issues or termite damage can cost thousands down the road.
In Puerto Rico, mortgage processes are stricter than in many U.S. states.
Without pre-approval, buyers risk losing properties to better-prepared competitors.
Buyers are often shocked by unpaid property taxes (CRIM) or inaccurate assessments.
If not handled correctly, these issues can delay or derail closing.
💡 Lesson for Buyers: Never skip due diligence. From inspections to financing to CRIM checks, protecting yourself upfront avoids costly nightmares later.
