EXCELLENT Based on 20 reviews Posted on Kenia LaroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nuestra experiencia con PlayaMax Real Estate en Las Terrenas fue simplemente excepcional. Recientemente compramos un apartamento en Playa Bonita, y no podríamos estar más satisfechos con todo el proceso. Desde el primer momento, Jesús, nuestro agente, demostró un conocimiento profundo de la zona. Es una persona muy inteligente, siempre atento y sumamente receptivo cada vez que nos comunicábamos con él. Algo que realmente valoramos fue que nunca fue insistente ni presionó la decisión; al contrario, se mantuvo diligente y nos dio el tiempo necesario para analizar cada paso. Además, su trato cercano y amable hizo que todo fuera mucho más fácil y agradable. Jesús hizo que todo el proceso, desde la visita a la propiedad hasta el cierre, fuera completamente fluido. Antes de darnos cuenta, ya éramos propietarios y teníamos el título en nuestras manos. Tanto él como su esposa Alma son profesionales con mucha experiencia en el sector inmobiliario. Nos han orientado en todo, incluso recomendándonos los mejores lugares para comprar, comer y hacer negocios en la zona. Recomendamos ampliamente a Jesús y Alma de PlayaMax Real Estate a cualquiera que esté considerando comprar en Las Terrenas. ¡No podrían estar en mejores manos!

LAS TERRENAS REAL ESTATE, SAMANÁ AGENCIA INMOBILIARIA EN LAS TERRENAS Moverse en un país extranjero para realizar una inversión inmobiliaria no es nada trivial, especialmente si no conoces a nadie. Lo primero fue seleccionar la zona del país en donde queríamos invertir. Tras recorrer la capital, la ciudad de Santiago, Punta Cana y la Romana, llegamos a Las Terrenas en la península de Samaná, al norte. Pronto decidimos que Las Terrenas sería el lugar elegido para invertir en un inmueble en donde pasar, a partir de entonces y todos los años, nuestras vacaciones. Las razones de tal decisión fueron: las muchas e increíbles playas de Las Terrenas y alrededores, la autopista que te lleva en menos de 2 horas hasta el aeropuerto de la capital del país, los muchos, variados y buenos restaurantes que hay, las tiendas de todo tipo, la posibilidad de realizar varios deportes náuticos como el Kitesurf, y, sobre todo, la gente de este lugar singular, ya que allí viven muchos europeos y canadienses que conviven en paz y armonía con los locales, prácticamente sin delincuencia. En Las Terrenas visitamos varias propiedades de la mano de diferentes agencias inmobiliarias hasta que dimos con PlayaMax Real Estate y ya no la soltamos de la mano. De esta agencia recibimos todo lo que uno necesita cuando está solo en un país y en una zona que desconoce, esto es: profesionalidad, cercanía, honestidad, confianza y muy buenos consejos. La persona que nos acompañó hasta tomar la decisión fue Olimpia Arellano. Tras varias visitas nos decantamos por un apartamento en el mejor condominio de la zona a primera línea de playa. El acompañamiento de Olimpia fue integral, incluida la selección de un brillante y honesto abogado que se ocupó de todo el papeleo de principio a fin, con una muy evidente profesionalidad. Consecuentemente, por nuestra experiencia, consideramos a PlayaMax Real Estate como la mejor agencia y más confiable de Las Terrenas.

¡Muchísimas gracias Manuel! Ya saben dónde estamos :) ¡Regresen pronto!Posted on Patricia BrissetteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When arriving for the first time in Las Terrenas my husband and I were welcomed by two incredibly honest people. They showed us properties for rent and for sale. Most importantly they introduced us to the town of Las Terrenas and the community. This was many years ago and we still know we can totally trust them implicitly. We recommend Playa Max to our friends who arrive in Las Terrenas and we know they will be listened to and shown exactly what they are looking for. No one we sent to them has ever been dissatisfied. There are many aspects to buying property in a foreign country. Their experience is necessary personally and legally. I cannot stress this enough. I would recommend Playa Max to anyone who wants experienced and honest people to help them find their dream property

Hola Patricia. Muchas gracias for your review. It has been a pleasure working and spending time with you every time you visit our neck of the woods. Looking forward to seeing you soon again. Stay safe!Posted on Mike BidwellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Purchasing real estate in Samana is not unlike most any other areas. ... you absolutely need to have a knowledgeable and trusted advisor. For us that has been Playamax for over 12 years now. I am amazed at the number of purported "real estate agents" in the area now. Through it all, Alma, Jesus and the Playamax team bring deep experience in both purchasing and selling over years. They helped us prioritize our key considerations (E.g. Location, New Construction vs. Existing, which projects are "real" vs. others, health of the HOAs, land opportunities in emerging areas, and so much more). Perhaps best of all was the post sales experience helping us get fully settled into the place we love! That has included their Rental & Property Management services, earning us an very happy clients and countless ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reviews 🤗 -Mike from Ohio
