Early access: listed projects are not checked yet. Deposit protection is coming soon.

How it works

Phase one is a directory of projects named in public sources, and a broker introduction when you ask. Deposit protection is coming soon. ObraCierta never holds the money.

  1. Start with a project, or ask us to check one

    Checking a project is free. Facts checked 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 a deposit is protected. Projects named in public sources are listed by place. None has been checked yet, and a listing is not an endorsement.

  2. Deposit protection is coming soon

    Coming soon When a trust partner is signed, the buyer’s deposit is meant to sit with a licensed trust company in the Dominican Republic, not with the developer and not with us. No trust company has signed yet, so we do not name one, and this is not live.

  3. Stage-by-stage release is the plan

    The plan is stage-by-stage funding. Money held by the trust company would pay for each next construction stage once an independent inspection confirms the previous one, so the developer is never more than one stage ahead. It is not a promise that the building will be finished, and it is not running yet.

  4. Progress tracking is planned

    Planned A later view of progress by drone or satellite is planned. It is not running on this site today.

  5. Buyers pay nothing

    Buyers do not pay ObraCierta. During the founding-developer pilot, a listing and a facts-checked profile are free for 60–90 days, with no fee. Later, a developer may pay for a verification badge. The badge is not a government registration and it is not a completion guarantee. ObraCierta is free for buyers. If you buy through a broker we introduce, we may earn a referral fee from that broker, and we will tell you the amount before you commit.
