How it works
A licensed trust company holds the buyer’s money and funds each next construction stage after an independent inspection confirms the previous stage is complete. ObraCierta never holds the money.
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. The first projects are not listed yet.
A licensed trust company holds the deposit
In the pilot, the buyer’s deposit is held by a licensed trust company, a fiduciaria in the Dominican Republic. ObraCierta never holds the money. No trust company has signed yet, so we do not name one and we do not claim a partnership.
Stage-by-stage funding
Releases are stage-by-stage funding. Buyer money held by the licensed trust company 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. The inspection is independent, not the developer’s say-so. It is not a promise that the whole building will be finished.
Progress tracking is planned
Planned A later view of progress by drone or satellite is planned. It is not running on this site today.
Buyers pay nothing. Developers pay for the badge
Buyers do not pay ObraCierta. Developers pay for a verification badge. During the founding-developer pilot, a listing and a facts-checked profile are free for 60–90 days, with no fee. The badge is not a government registration and it is not a completion guarantee.
