Selling your home is more than just finding a buyer and signing a contract. Many sellers are surprised by the fees, taxes, and closing costs that impact their bottom line.
At Puerto Rico Real Estate, PSC, we ensure you are fully informed and prepared so you can avoid unexpected financial burdens and sell your home with confidence.
Unlike in many U.S. states, closing costs in Puerto Rico are typically split between buyer and seller. However, sellers often overlook certain fees that they are responsible for, such as:
✔ Attorney fees for preparing legal documents
✔ Title search & deed preparation
✔ Mortgage cancellation fees (if applicable)
Our team works with trusted real estate attorneys to ensure accurate documentation and avoid unnecessary legal costs.
Before selling, it’s essential to check your CRIM (Centro de Recaudación de Ingresos Municipales) property tax balance. Any unpaid taxes must be cleared before closing.
✔ CRIM tax certificates are required for closing
✔ Property tax debt can delay the sale
✔ Exemptions may apply if the home is your primary residence
We help you navigate CRIM regulations to ensure you’re compliant and not overpaying.
If you’re selling a home for more than you originally paid, you may be subject to capital gains tax in Puerto Rico. However, some exemptions apply:
✔ If the property is your primary residence, you may be exempt
✔ Properly documenting home improvements can help reduce taxable profit
✔ Foreign sellers may face additional tax withholdings
Our experts guide you through the tax process to ensure you maximize your after-sale profit.
Real estate commission fees are a standard cost of selling a home. In Puerto Rico, the typical commission is 5-6%, but working with a skilled agent means:
✔ Higher exposure & professional marketing
✔ Expert negotiation to secure the best price
✔ Smooth transaction & paperwork management
Choosing Puerto Rico Real Estate, PSC ensures you get top-dollar for your property while avoiding costly mistakes.
Many buyers request repairs or price reductions based on a home inspection. To avoid last-minute expenses, we recommend:

We advise our sellers on which repairs are worth the investment and which ones can be negotiated smartly.
