SEO Focus: how to sell property in Puerto Rico, selling home checklist PR

If you're planning to sell your home in Puerto Rico in 2025, this guide is for you. Selling a property isn’t just about putting up a sign or posting pictures online. It requires planning, legal preparation, market insight, and the right professional support.

At Puerto Rico Real Estate, PSC, we guide you through the entire process—from your first question to the final closing signature. Here's everything you need to know to sell your home in Puerto Rico successfully this year.


1. Assess Your Situation and Selling Goals

Start by asking:

  • Why are you selling?

  • Do you need to sell quickly?

  • Are you buying another property afterward?

  • Are you living in Puerto Rico or off-island?

Pro Tip: Understanding your goals helps shape your strategy and timeline.


2. Understand the Local Market

Puerto Rico’s real estate market is hyper-local. Each municipality has its own pricing trends, buyer profiles, and inventory flow.

What we do:
We provide a free comparative market analysis (CMA) so you can price your home accurately based on real-time 2025 market data.


3. Gather and Review Required Documents

Here’s your seller checklist:

  • Recorded deed (escritura pública)

  • Updated CRIM tax certification

  • Land survey or plot map (if applicable)

  • Government-issued ID

  • Utility clearance certificates (recommended)

  • Building permits for any additions or improvements

  • Power of attorney (if you’re off-island)

Need help? We assist you in gathering and verifying all necessary documents.


4. Prepare the Property for Showings

Presentation matters. Homes that are clean and well-staged sell faster and for more.

Suggested tasks:

  • Deep cleaning (inside and out)

  • Minor repairs (fixtures, paint, hardware)

  • Landscaping and curb appeal

  • Decluttering and depersonalizing

Bonus: We provide professional staging and photography services.


5. Set the Right Price

Pricing your property right from the start will help you avoid reductions, attract more attention, and encourage stronger offers.

How we help:
We combine local data, buyer behavior, and current market trends to price your property for both speed and profit.


6. Launch a Strategic Marketing Campaign

Visibility is key. Your listing must reach the right buyers through the right channels.

Our marketing strategy includes:

  • MLS and syndicated listings

  • Video tours and virtual walkthroughs

  • Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and email marketing

  • Bilingual ads (English/Spanish)

  • Promotion to our active buyer network


7. Coordinate Showings

We manage all showings and work around your schedule.

Tip: Keep the home clean and ready during this stage to make the best impression.


8. Review and Negotiate Offers

We evaluate:

  • Offer price

  • Financing terms (cash vs mortgage)

  • Proposed closing date

  • Contingencies (inspection, appraisal, etc.)

Our job: We negotiate for your best outcome while protecting your interests.


9. Coordinate Legal and Closing Process

In Puerto Rico, closings happen before a notary attorney and require:

  • A clear title

  • Updated CRIM tax payment

  • Notarized purchase deed

  • Wire transfers and closing costs breakdown

  • Power of attorney setup (if off-island)

Don’t worry: We manage all communication with attorneys, notaries, buyers, and banks.


10. Closing and Beyond

Once everything is signed and funds are disbursed:

  • The sale is officially recorded

  • Keys are delivered

  • Utilities are canceled

  • We assist with post-closing questions or future transactions
