Why not leave everything behind and fly to Samaná?
EXCHANGE YOUR ASSETS FOR A PROPERTY IN THE CARIBBEAN PARADISE
It's more realistic than you think
We understand that there are days when you’d like to escape to the other side of the world… Live right by a heavenly, white beach and disconnect from everything, listening to the soothing sound of the ocean in the shade of coconut palms.
Do you think it’s just an unattainable dream? What if we told you that it’s truly within your reach, and you don’t even need to have cash on hand?
We will exchange your assets for a property in the tropics
Whether you’re looking for the perfect place to relocate or a second home, a convenient way to diversify your assets, or a lucrative investment opportunity, we have a unique offer for you.
Choose a villa, apartment, or land on a tropical island, and we will offer you the opportunity to settle the payment by exchanging it for your selected assets. We accept, among other things:
Real estate
Land, apartments, houses
Companies
Shares in companies or entire businesses
Luxury goods
Golds and diamonds

We are one of the largest developers and landowners on the Samaná Peninsula in the Dominican Republic. Across over 4,000 hectares of picturesque land, we are constructing modern residential complexes in close proximity to the crystal-clear ocean and heavenly sandy beaches. Whether it’s a luxury seaside villa, a secluded mountain-view cottage, or an apartment in the bustling Nomad City – the choice is yours. Leave the formalities to us.
Schedule a free consultation during which we will assess the value of your assets and present an offer for exchange into Samana Group properties. Click below and indicate which assets you would like to exchange for real estate.
The offer involves entering into a non-cash asset swap agreement. This transaction entails exchanging one or several non-monetary assets, such as real estate or property rights, for one or several properties in the Dominican Republic (apartments, houses, or land), selected from our offerings.
Will I pay tax on such a transaction? If so, what kind?
The exchange of assets is subject to the same taxes as the sale of movable or immovable property. The determination of the tax upon the disposal of an item depends on whether it is a vehicle or another item, how long the seller has owned it, so before proceeding with the transaction, we will provide you with an accurate tax assessment. If the property is owned by an individual who is not engaged in business activities and has owned it for more than 5 years, they will not pay income tax, and we will cover the tax on civil-law transactions (PCC). In the case of exchanging real estate belonging to a business entity, instead of PCC, VAT will need to be paid, and in some cases, income tax. Our legal department will prepare a tax assessment for you to pay in your specific case.
What if my assets have a different value than the property?
Not a problem, it's possible to make the exchange with an appropriate cash supplement. It also works the other way around – if your assets have a higher value than the property you're interested in from our offerings, we can provide a cash supplement.
What assets can I exchange for real estate?
Primarily real estate: houses, apartments, land. We also accept gold, gemstones, shares in businesses or entire companies, cars, watercraft and aircraft, or luxury watches. If you have assets of a different nature that you'd like to exchange, please contact us to discuss the proposal.
Will I incur legal transaction costs?
You will not incur any legal transaction costs. The legal aspect of the process is handled entirely by Samana Group's legal department.
What will happen to my assets?
After the agreement is concluded, your assets will become the property of Samana Group, and you will become the owner of real estate in the Dominican Republic.
Who conducts the valuation of assets?
A team of independent appraisers is appointed to conduct the valuation of assets. Both parties must then agree with the appraisers' valuation, as the exchange agreement needs to be consensual.
What is the value of your properties?
You can find a list of available plots, houses, and apartments for exchange along with their individual prices HERE.
Which assets are you most interested in?
The highest value for us lies in real estate owned by individuals, especially those owned for more than 5 years. However, we also accept other types of assets listed in point 4.
Will I have to vacate my property immediately after signing the exchange agreement?
No, if you want to move into your new property in the Dominican Republic but need time for the transition, we can agree on a mutually convenient date in the contract by which you can continue to occupy your current residence.
