Exclusive Listing Testimonial
When we decided to sell our condo in Bavaro Beach, we were at a loss as to who might be able to assist us in this matter, since we live in the states.
Finding Johanna and the RE/MAX Tropical team was a real blessing. Not only you were successful in finding us a buyer; but when the time came for the closing, you and your team ensured that everything went smoothly. I highly recommend you and the entire RE/MAX Tropical team as reliable, professional, and honest. Thank you for making what could have been a challenging situation, into a very pleasant and harmonious success

From the very beginning of our search Adriana was always in contact, giving us accurate information about the market in Punta Cana. She showed us many many condos before we found one that we liked, and she was tireless in helping us with our search. No matter how many condos we looked at, she knew everything about the communities and was honest and forthwright from the beginning to end. Her advice and knowledge was indispensible. She was a great find indeed. I've worked in real estate in Canada for many years, and all of real estate could use more honest knowledgable agents like her. We couldn't be happier here in Punta Cana, and we have Adriana to thank.

Her knowledge, experience and easy going professionalism made it fun, and an enjoyable process. Once I explained, what I was looking for in my vacation home; she knew exactly what to show me. She provided sincere, candid yet very valueble suggestions and advise. Punta Cana Village is a perfect fit for my needs in my first vacation home. Purchasing a vacation home in Punta Cana is a dream come true for me and my family; gracias! I would certainly recommend your services to all my friends and family.Thank you,

While vacationing outside of Bavaro Beach, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, my husband and I sought out a real estate agent because there were some condominiums we were interested in looking at.
We met Brenda Chapman from RE/MAX Tropical at our resort, an hour outside of Bavaro Beach, when she came to pick us up in her personal vehicle and show us available Punta Cana condominiums. We felt an instant friendship with her because she was Canadian and super friendly. Of course we had looked on the internet and had an idea of what we would like to see. In an extremely short period of time Brenda gained access to and showed us all the properties we were interested in and then some others she had selected based on our “wish list.”
To our surprise we became condominium owners within a week of meeting Brenda. She helped with the entire process! Brenda’s connections and knowledge made our purchase pain-free as she assisted with the banking, locating a lawyer, finding us a decorator – well, the list is endless.
I have had the privilege of working with many good agents, having bought and sold quite a few properties in my lifetime, but I have to say that Brenda Chapman absolutely goes above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to her job.
A great example of the depths of Brenda’s commitment to her clients is how she rescued four girlfriends and me from an evening of darkness when there had been a misunderstanding with CEPM, the hydro company in Friusa. I called her upon my arrival at my condominium when I discovered the hydro had been shut off because I didn’t know who else to turn to and she helped me fix the problem within minutes. She asked her boyfriend, Marcus, and he accommodated by picking me up at my condo and driving me to CEPM to pay the bill with just minutes to spare before they closed for the day.
Brenda has helped us make the transition to Dominican condo life by always looking out for our interests and being eager to help us in any way long after her obligation. She makes you feel like part of her family and I look forward to my visits with her every time we return to our condo.
I highly recommend her if you should be in the market for a Punta Cana realtor. She’s the best!

As I write this I am with Brenda from REMAX Tropical, chatting and waiting to open a bank account. Brenda has been helping me this week finalize all the details for the closing of my condo - 2 trips to get the electric, trips to the bank, setting me up with a property manager and designer, and final inspection. Plus buying coffee for Christmas presents. She showed very good condo options in my price range and worked tenaciously with the developer to get me the best deal. Her followup with the developer and my lawyer was excellent. I highly recommend Brenda without reservations.

It was indeed a pleasure to work with REMAX Tropical and have Adriana assist me in the purchase of my studio. When you want to buy a property site-unseen it is difficult to find someone like her. She was very informative, knowledgeable and was able to negotiate a good price for me.

Hi Cheryl! I want to take a moment to thank you and admire you for a job well done in selling my condominium in Bavaro Beach. It is remarkable how you were able to sell my unit and get everything done just right especially since your were dealing with me as an absentee owner. WOW!!! I can go on and on. You have masteresd the absentee ownership to a science. With an agent like you, I feel comfortable buying anywhere in the world if it were possible. I will recommend you and REMAX Tropical with emphasis to whomever needs real estate services in the DR. Thank you and may you continue to be successful in all your future endeavors.

Dear Cheryl, I want to thank you for and your staff at REMAX Tropical for the hard work and dedication in managing my vacation property in Punta Cana. Unfortunately, I had to sell my condo and again you were able to deliver. As you know my situation was very difficult because when I bought the condo the realtor that sold me the condo did not do it right and we had difficulty with the title. You and your staff were able to provide me the right direction, advise and service to be able sell the condo correctly. Thank you for the piece of mind. It is difficult to trust someone especially if you live in a different country. I took a chance with you and thank God I did. No words can describe my gratitude. Thank you again for all you have done for me. Sincerely,

Recently I had the opportunity to purchase a property in Punta Cana DR.
Being from the states I was very nervous with how the entire process worked (do I own the property, is it a lease, can I will it to family, taxes, property management, etc. etc. etc.).
I found my real estate agent at REMAX Tropical, (Adriana Papadia) on line and she was AMAZING. She showed me many different properties and explained which areas were best for investment/vacation/living/ etc. She was able to answer all my questions, advise me on the purchasing process, help me with finding a credible DR lawyer and much more.
I was extremely impressed with how easy the process was.
I highly recommend anyone looking for properties in DR to contact Adriana at REMAX Tropical as she is absolutely the best.
I am now the proud owner of a great beach front condo in beautiful Punta Cana.

We would like to tell you how happy we are with the service that REMAX Tropical and Johanna Frischbutter gave us during our recent condo purchase in Punta Cana.
We arrived in Punta Cana on Friday and Johanna had several properties for us to view on Saturday. She spent the full day with us and not only showed us the vacation home of our dreams as well as many other lovely properties, she went out of her way to familiarize us with the area and included dentists, clinics, pharmacies, restaurants and many other services that are offered locally. At the end of the day we felt so at ease and had no worries of purchasing a condo in Punta Cana .... we were at home.She spent several hours on Sunday, a day scheduled with her family, to make sure that all our questions were answered and the paper work was in order before we headed back to Nova Scotia on Tuesday.
We could not have had anyone more open to listen to our needs and so easy to talk to and understand. We're looking forward to inviting Johanna and her husband to help us celebrate our first visit to our island paradise condo.
Thank you REMAX Tropical for providing us with a wonderful experience of purchasing our home away from home.

As an investor, entrepreneur, and real estate agent in New York, once you purchase property in the United States with a agent they don't know who you are after a sale, but in REMAX Tropical and Adriana's case is totally different, they know what they are doing and they continue to provide the out most courtesy and professionalism to me. I will continue to do business with Adriana and REMAX Tropical and would highly recommend her sincerely

Este año decidi comprar un apartamento en Bavaro. Conoci a Adriana, broker de REMAX Tropical en el Cortecito y el servicio fue muy satisfactorio. Me enseño diversos apartamentos que se adecuaban a mis necesidades y presupuesto. Al volver a mi país sin todavía haber decidido la compra, Adriana continuó dandome información sobre nuevos apartamentos en el mercado o cambios de precios para que yo estuviera bien informado en todo momento. Finalmente compré un fantastico apartamento a un precio de oferta muy bueno, gracias al aviso de Adriana. Más allá de la compra, Adriana se encargó de gestionarme la compra de muebles, accesorios y servicios para el apartamento, a fin de tenerlo todo perfecto listo para vivir a mi vuelta a Bavaro. Sigo en contacto con Adriana para saber nuevas ofertas, noticias sobre el mercado inmobiliario en Bavaro, o cualquier consejo o duda que ella pueda resolverme. Siempre está a disposición del cliente en todo lo que ella pueda ayudar.

We have had the pleasure experiencing REMAX Tropical‘s professional support while purchasing our brand new condo in Bavaro, Punta Cana. Johanna Frischbutter was absolutely amazing and consistently went over and beyond her call of duty to ensure we are comfortable in the process and well equipped to make an informed decision. She is one of the most knowledgeable and reliable realtors I ever met. I can confidently say that we were shown all the available options, so the decision was really easy! Cheryl Rinehart’s help was invaluable with negotiating the contract and navigating the real estate system, and all team stepped up to take care of all our pre- and post sale needs, including the interior decorating and property management. I would like to thank Johanna, Cheryl, Adriana and Ana for their support, guidance and friendship, and I am looking forward to a continuous and rewarding relationship for years to come.

We would like to thank you for all your help with the purchase of our condo. Your professionalism, knowledge, work ethic, and patience with us are second to none. As you know, we were very nervous about puchasing the condo site unseen, but you made this process so much easier and alleviated a lot of our fears. Thank you for all the emails and phone calls, and putting our minds at ease. We would definitely recommend you to anyone who is looking to purchase property in the Punta Cana area. It was a pleasure meeting you in person. We are very happy with the condo after the renovations... we are looking forward to getting some renters in.
All the best.

Hi Cheryl,
My dream of owning a vacation home in Punta Cana, in the Dominican Republic became realized through the guidance and support of your agency REMAX Tropical and especially through your sales associate, Brenda Chapman. Brenda effectively and efficiently helped to make a potentially overwhelming and daunting experience, as stress-free as possible.
Being a single woman attempting to buy property in a foreign country is difficult enough, but having to conduct business transactions and negotiations in another language and from long distance, added to the already overwhelming experience. Through the high level of expertise, knowledge, and professionalism of the staff of your agency the purchase of my dream house became a reality and went through smoothly.
I can only rave about the entire experience and commend your agency for all of the following. Your services were exemplary and your sales rep went above and beyond the expectations of any agent. She was very courteous, personable, competent, and well organized. It felt as if she had my best interest in mind. Her consistent follow through and quick responses and assistance with long distance transactions were done so with efficiency and enthusiasm.
I found both REMAX Tropical and Brenda to be knowledgeable and resourceful, reliable and consistent. She was extremely confident and her take-charge and in control attitude assisted in the facilitation of all aspects of the purchase, transitioning to the new country, and orienting one to the neighborhood. Brenda was diligent in asking questions that perhaps I had forgotten to ask, noticing things within the apartment which perhaps in my excitement I did not notice and providing me with the guidance necessary to make informed and sound real estate decisions. I appreciated her tireless assistance.
I could not imagine having gone through this process without the support of RE/MAX Tropical. I truly appreciate your dedicated and accessible sales team, the hard work you all put forth in helping me to locate, research and purchase my property, and the exceptional personal service provided by Brenda Chapman and your team. You all certainly should be commended. I highly recommend your company and plan to continue taking advantage of all of the additional services you have to offer.
Thank you for your exceptional service.

Dear REMAX Tropical DR4Sale:
Josie and I just spent a wonderful week in our brand new Punta Cana condo! We loved it and are returning next month.
Thank you for making this the smoothest and most professional real estate transaction of our life. Purchasing a property sight unseen can be a daunting endeavor, but we were comfortable and confident throughout the process. Everything exceeded our hopes. REMAX Tropical under promised and over delivered!
Also, you made a wonderful recommendation in Iris and Anke, our interior designers. They were fair, professional and decorated our entire space for far less than we could have dreamed. They didn't compromise on quality, but we appreciated their savings and experience during the entire process.
We look forward to purchasing through REMAX Tropical again very soon.
Warm regards,
ANDY & JOSIE, USA

Hi Cheryl Rinehart and the entire DR4Sale REMAX Tropical team!!
Just wanted to drop a note to let you all know how we appreciate all you have done for us. On my most recent trip to DR, I was again overwhelmed with the high quality of service I received. All of the issues found were addressed immediately, without one question asked. I have never encountered such excellent customer service in my life!! I know this may sound extreme, but it is true. Never was I made to feel incompetent or inferior. Something as simple as Chris's explanation of how to use the AC Remote made me feel as if I was being treated as an individual and not a number.
When I called Alicia from the Dominican Republic, I told her how I completely trusted all of you, and how comforting it was to work with people who are invested in making our dreams come true. I further attempted to explain how when I entered your office I felt as if I was the center of attention and that everybody wanted to know what they could do to help me. It was so impressive to watch you all at work!! It has actually been my pleasure to work with you, I have always felt like part of your team and family.
We feel it is very important to let you all know that you really are in the business of making peoples' dreams come true!! Sometimes in life we are not sure if what we do has a purpose, or changes even one person's life in a positive way. We want to assure the entire DR4Sale, REMAX Tropical team that you have touched our lives in a very meaningful way.
If there is ever anything we can do to repay your kindness and generosity, please don't hesitate to ask!! We feel as if this dream would never have been realized if it weren't for DR4Sale REMAX Tropical's commitment to providing personalized service to us.....the McCurdy family!!
Thanks again!!

Dear Cheryl, I want to thank you and your staff for all the help you have given. Living in the United States, I had a difficult time working with a prior real estate company managing my condo. I had no communication and I had no idea how my condo was doing. When I purchased the condo my intentions were to rent it out to vacation renters and would use it for our vacation spot a few times throughtout the year. What I thought was going to be a dream home away from home became a nightmare. I finally was able to find you on the internet and I decided to give you a try. Since working with you, I have nothing but praise to you and your staff. I truly appreciate you responding my emails quickly and talking to you and your friendly staff. Communication is very important to me and you guys have not dissappointed me at all especially when I am not physically there all the time. What was once a nightmare has transformed to my dream again. I would truly recommend my friends and family to you because i know you would take care of them. Your company is not all talk, it is all action. Thank you and you are a blessing.
Sincerely,

We're back in the San Francisco Bay Area, and our condo is furnished and ready to rent. We wanted to write and thank you for making our purchase possible, for your support in dealing with the developer, and throughout the closing process. We especially appreciate the post-sale support of all the details, helping the electrical service go smooth, dealing with appliance installation, etc. Alex and your staff are fantastic!

Hello Cheryl, well I don’t know if I was your last client at REMAX Island or first at DR4Sale REMAX Tropical. But what I do know is that your service was great, positive attitude appreciated and as you know the results are that I have bought a home in the sun to get away from this Canadian winter… I would and probably will do business with you again.
See you soon!

We had spent quite a lot of time trying to figure out the best country to invest in Real Estate. The Dominican Republic was always our top choice because my wife and I really love the country and its wonderful beaches and life style. So I started my research on the internet and soon I realized that it was going to be hard to find someone reliable. Nobody really took me serio usly. Some of them never replied and some kept sending some advertising material but nobody really addressed me personally.
Everything really changed when I sent an e-mail to DR4sale (now REMAX Tropical). I described what I was looking for, hoping to finally get an answer from somebody. The next day I received a personal e-mail from Elle, Cheryl Rinehart‘s sales assistant. She addressed all my question and sent me some properties that might be a match for what I was looking for. Over the next couple of days we exchanged many e-mails so I was really getting confident with my Dominican Republic investment. Whenever I had a question I would get an answer the same day or the day after. My wife and I had scheduled a vacation in the Dominican Republic and we decided to see some properties and buy something if we felt confident. So we set the date and time for Cheryl to pick us up from the resort we were staying at.
We really have a lot of experience with buying and selling Real Estate here in Canada and we dealt with many agents but we never have had such a satisfying experience as the one we had with Cheryl Rinehart and the whole DR4Sale (REMAX Tropical) team and business she was running. We found the perfect apartment for us and for the price we wanted to pay. We submitte an offer, bought the property, and arranged the meeting with an interior designer, recommended by Cheryl, who purchased all of our items on the beautiful Dominican beach.
When we came home to Canada we had to take care of our fin ancing while Cheryl and her team worked to complete the transaction as well as work with the interior designer o make our apartment ready for renting. All that was done in about 1 months’ time with no glitch at any point. In about two months since our offer was accepted, we have received our first rental income which was more than enough to cover all of our borrowing costs. DR4sale is taking care of the rental and property management for a reasonable fee.
DR4sale (REMAX Tropical) is the agency that we would recommend to our best friends and of course anybody who is thinking about investing in the Dominican Republic. They made our first international investment so enjoyable and profitable and we cannot thank them enough.

Cheryl, I would like to take the time and thank-you for all you have done for us. As an investor purchasing property in a foreign country for the first time is was imperative that we met a professional like yourself. Expertise played major role in helping us understand the market, see future trends, and feel comfortable with the process of making the purchase. Furthermore the legal time was first rate. The legal representatives you turned us onto explained the benefits of purchasing a property as a corporation. They also educated us in regards to property and capital gains taxes. Furthermore, the interior decorator was a great help in getting our new home looking first rate. It is self-evident that you surround yourself with quality people, and those people respect you. Please keep us in mind when you see another deal that meets our criteria
Thanks,

The consummate professional, Cheryl Rinehart standards as a Real Estate professional are head and shoulders above her peers. Ms. Rinehart’s industry knowledge and market awareness of Dominican Republic Real Estate has ensured her position as a top producer in the Caribbean market. By far one of the more successful agents in the area.

Hi Cheryl, I’m not sure you know how grateful I am to you for all the help and effort you put into trying to get me what I want. I could not have been in better hands. In St Lucia it was pure luck that I got a chance to see anything, it was almost a wasted trip. I called your name many times, wishing I had someone with your professionalism by my side to help me out.
