Frequently asked questions

No. Asking us to check a project is free. ObraCierta does not charge the buyer.

No. ObraCierta never holds the money. In the pilot, a licensed trust company holds it. Releases are stage-by-stage funding: that money pays for each next construction stage once an independent inspection confirms the previous stage is complete, so the developer is never more than one stage ahead. No trust company has signed yet, so we do not name one and we do not claim a partnership.

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.

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.

For buyers in Canada, the United States, and Europe, including retirees and second-home buyers, and for Dominicans living abroad.

Not yet. Early access: first projects coming soon. If you already have a name, you can ask for a free check. We do not publish unchecked project lists.

No. It is planned. There is no drone or satellite progress tracking on the site today.

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.

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.
