Frequently asked questions
Short answers. Nothing here is a guarantee that a building will be finished.
Do buyers pay anything?
No. Asking us to check a project is free. ObraCierta does not charge the buyer.
Does ObraCierta hold my deposit?
No. ObraCierta never holds the money. A licensed trust company that would hold the deposit, and release it one inspected stage at a time, is coming soon. No trust company has signed yet, so we do not name one and we do not claim a partnership.
What does facts checked mean?
It means we looked up the stated items on the stated date: who is selling, the title, the construction permit, and, if a trust is named, the trust company’s name. It is not a guarantee that the building will be finished or that your deposit is protected.
What is buying en planos?
It means buying a home before it is finished, from the plans. Payment is usually made in stages. That is why it matters who is selling, whether the land and the permit are real, and where the deposit sits.
Who is ObraCierta for?
For buyers in Canada, the United States, and Europe, including retirees and second-home buyers, and for Dominicans living abroad.
Can I browse projects today?
You can browse projects named in public sources, by place. None of them has been checked yet, and a listing is not an endorsement. If you already have a name, you can ask for a free check.
Is drone or satellite tracking live?
No. It is planned. There is no drone or satellite progress tracking on the site today.
What does the form ask for?
The project name, your name, your email, your country, and, if you want, a note in your own words. A developer or a link is optional. We do not ask for a cédula, a passport, or bank details.
I am a developer. What does the pilot cost?
In the founding-developer pilot, the listing and the facts-checked profile are free for 60 to 90 days. There is no fee at this stage. Later, the developer pays for a verification badge. The buyer still pays nothing.
