GET A GOOD BANK AND LAWYER FIRST!!
My wife and I just purchased a house in Boquerón, Cabo Rojo. PR. We currently live in the Washington DC area but have also lived in Venezuela and Mexico. We are both retiring again and picked PR at the advice of a co-work and friend who frequently visits, and have family in Boquerón. Once we saw it, the decision was final that this would be our retirement location. Immediately when arriving in Cabo Rojo, we went to Banco Popular and hired a recommended lawyer. Upon finding the house we wanted, I cannot express how valuable hiring a good lawyer can be. Our loan was quickly pre-approved and in the final stage approved. Again, I cannot express too many times the importance of a good lawyer. With the housing market crisis in place, many sellers want to sell but are legally not able to sell even though you may see an for sale sign on the house like we did. Our lawyer weaved us through the process of securing contracts, a host of legal documents, dealing with the banks for verification and everything. I must admit, with us not being there in PR we would not have this house today. Our lawyer Hector Marti Rodriguez went WELL BEYOND the call of duty to making our dream come true. No amount of money can substitute for trusting and reliable services. As a result of the title of this message, we were successful in obtaining our dream home. Not to mentioning gaining new friends!!!!!
