How to Sell Your Puerto Rico Property While Living Off-Island

SEO Focus: sell remotely Puerto Rico, off-island real estate sale

Whether you live on the U.S. mainland, in another country, or simply far from your Puerto Rican property, selling from a distance can feel intimidating. But with the right real estate partner, it doesn’t have to be.

At Puerto Rico Real Estate, PSC, we specialize in helping off-island property owners sell with ease, efficiency, and full transparency. From legal paperwork to local marketing and buyer coordination, we make sure your property sale moves forward—even when you’re not physically present.

This comprehensive guide explains how to sell remotely, what challenges to expect, and why working with an experienced, local agency like ours is the smartest decision you can make.

1. Step One: Find the Right Local Real Estate Expert

Selling from afar starts with one key decision: choosing a local agent you can trust. Unlike out-of-state brokers or online-only platforms, a Puerto Rico-based agent understands:

• CRIM and property tax regulations

• Legal and notarial requirements

• Zoning and land use

• Regional buyer trends

• Market-specific values and conditions

• What properties like yours are really worth

At Puerto Rico Real Estate, PSC, we handle everything on the ground so you don’t have to.

2. Property Evaluation & Listing Preparation

Once you’ve selected us as your listing agent, we start with a detailed property evaluation. Even if you haven’t visited your property in years, we’ll:

• Visit the property and assess condition

• Provide video walkthroughs and detailed photo documentation

• Recommend high-ROI improvements (if necessary)

• Help coordinate vendors for cleaning, staging, or minor repairs

• Gather all necessary documentation

You’ll get updates every step of the way via email, phone, or WhatsApp—whichever is most convenient for you.

3. Required Documents for Off-Island Sellers

Here’s what you’ll need to provide (and what we’ll help you obtain):

• Valid government-issued photo ID

• Power of attorney (POA) for closing

• CRIM certification

• Deed or title document

• Recent utility bills (for verification)

• If applicable, death certificates and probate documents

We work with notaries and attorneys to prepare and process documents remotely. No need to fly in unless you want to!

4. Marketing Your Property to the Right Buyers

Our marketing strategy ensures your property stands out—even when you’re not here. We promote your listing through:

• MLS and top Puerto Rican listing platforms

• Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Google ads

• Local buyer and investor networks

• Real estate WhatsApp groups

• Our exclusive buyer database

• Bilingual content to reach both local and international buyers

We create high-quality videos, drone footage, virtual walkthroughs, and compelling property descriptions to attract serious interest.

5. Handling Showings and Offers

You don’t need to be here to show the property or negotiate offers. We:

• Coordinate showings with vetted buyers

• Host virtual walkthroughs and live video tours

• Manage all offers and present them to you with detailed analysis

• Advise on counteroffers and negotiation strategies

• Ensure buyer financing or proof of funds is verified

We keep you informed of every offer, buyer question, and feedback—ensuring you stay in control without being on-site.

6. Navigating the Closing Process from Afar

The closing process in Puerto Rico involves attorneys, notaries, and municipal paperwork. We simplify it all for you:

• Drafting and reviewing the purchase agreement

• Issuing and signing a power of attorney (POA) so your local representative can sign on your behalf

• Ensuring your CRIM and tax obligations are settled

• Coordinating title clearance, legal review, and final deed signing

• Depositing funds securely via bank transfer

We’ll make sure you get a clear timeline, organized updates, and guidance from listing to closing.

7. What If My Property Has Legal or Documentation Issues?

Don’t worry—we specialize in resolving:

• CRIM discrepancies

• Probate and inheritance complications

• Deeds that were never recorded

• Title errors or liens

• Missing survey plans or permits

Our legal network and transaction management team help you resolve issues before they become delays.
