Selling Your Puerto Rico Property from the U.S. or Abroad: Here’s How We Make it Easy

Introduction: Selling from Afar Doesn’t Have to Be Complicated

Maybe you inherited property in Puerto Rico. Maybe you bought it years ago as an investment or vacation home, but life took you elsewhere. Whatever your reason, you now need to sell—but you're not on the island. So how does that work?

Selling property from a distance can feel overwhelming if you’re unfamiliar with Puerto Rico’s unique legal system, local procedures, or don’t have boots on the ground to manage it. That’s exactly why Puerto Rico Real Estate, PSC exists—to handle everything professionally and locally, so you don’t have to.

We specialize in helping absentee owners from the U.S. mainland and abroad sell their Puerto Rico real estate with confidence. Here’s how we make it simple, secure, and seamless.


1. We Offer Remote Consultations & Property Assessments

You don’t need to be physically present to start the process. We offer video consultations, phone calls, and digital forms to collect the information we need about your property, goals, and situation.

We'll also assess the condition and market value of your property by visiting it ourselves and providing a full remote property report with photos and pricing recommendations.


2. We Handle Property Preparation and Access Locally

One of the biggest hurdles for off-island owners is getting the property ready for showings. Whether the home needs basic cleaning, repairs, or just staging—we coordinate everything for you through our network of trusted local vendors.

From landscaping and maintenance to locksmiths, cleaning crews, and contractors, we’ve got a reliable team ready to prepare your home for the market.


3. Legal Documentation? We Take Care of That Too.

Puerto Rico has a civil law system, which means real estate transactions involve notaries, public deeds (escrituras), CRIM certifications, and sometimes even translations.

We work closely with reputable real estate attorneys and notaries who handle your documentation, even if you're signing from the U.S. or abroad. We also assist in:

  • Resolving inheritance or title issues

  • Gathering missing documents

  • Obtaining CRIM and property registry certifications

  • Coordinating Power of Attorney (POA) if needed

You don’t have to fly in—we’ll represent your interests every step of the way.


4. We Price Your Property Right for Today’s Market

Markets fluctuate, and pricing strategies that work in the mainland U.S. may not apply in Puerto Rico. We provide a comprehensive comparative market analysis (CMA) based on current local sales, location, condition, and demand.

Our goal is to help you sell at the best possible price, without sitting on the market for months.


5. Professional Marketing that Reaches Buyers Worldwide

Most potential buyers start their search online—and we make sure they find your property. Our marketing strategy includes:

  • Professional photography and drone footage

  • Virtual tours and 3D walkthroughs

  • Listing on top sites and local MLS

  • Social media campaigns (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube)

  • Promotion on our high-traffic blog and email list

  • Bilingual marketing (English & Spanish)

This approach helps you connect with buyers both in Puerto Rico and across the globe.


6. We Screen and Qualify Buyers for You

Not every interested party is a serious buyer. We manage all communications with prospects, vetting them for pre-approval, financial readiness, and intent.

This saves you time and ensures that when you do receive offers, they’re serious and ready to move forward.


7. Negotiations? We’ve Got You Covered.

Negotiating from another country—or even another time zone—can be tricky. That’s why we act as your trusted advocate, negotiating offers, contingencies, and closing terms on your behalf.

Our experienced team ensures you’re not only protected legally, but also positioned to receive the best deal possible.


8. Secure, Remote Closings (Yes, It’s Possible!)

With our team managing all logistics and legal requirements, you’ll be able to close the sale without setting foot on the island. Using certified mail, courier services, e-signatures (when valid), or POA, we’ll guide you through a safe and compliant closing process.

From contract signing to funds disbursement, you’ll always know what’s happening—and when.


9. Full Communication—Start to Finish

We understand how stressful it can be to be far from your property. That’s why we prioritize clear, timely communication at every stage. Whether it’s a weekly update, document request, or video walk-through of the property, we keep you informed and in control.


10. Proven Success with Remote Sellers Like You

We’ve helped sellers from New York, Florida, Texas, California, Europe, and even Asia sell property in Puerto Rico—without having to return. Our reviews, referrals, and repeat clients are a testament to how seamless we make the process.

We treat every remote transaction with the same attention, care, and professionalism we’d give to a family member.
