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:
✔ Pre-listing inspections to identify issues early
✔ Affordable upgrades that increase value
✔ Staging & curb appeal improvements
We advise our sellers on which repairs are worth the investment and which ones can be negotiated smartly.
Navigating the selling process can be overwhelming, especially when unexpected costs arise. That’s why working with Puerto Rico Real Estate, PSC is the best way to protect your profit and sell with confidence.
✔ Accurate property valuation to set the right price
✔ Expert guidance on CRIM & tax obligations
✔ Negotiation support to minimize repair costs
✔ Legal coordination for a smooth closing
✔ Marketing strategies to attract serious buyers
We help you avoid hidden fees, streamline the selling process, and ensure you walk away with the highest possible return on your property.
