Selling Your Puerto Rico Home? Let’s Talk.
No pressure. No high-volume agent treatment. Real strategy from someone who knows the local market and the buyer pool.
Why List With Five Star?
Most PR sellers leave money on the table because their agent prices wrong, markets to the wrong buyer pool, or doesn’t understand Act 60 demand dynamics. Five Star fixes all three.
Act 60 Buyer Pool Access
Act 60 relocators (high-net-worth mainland US) are the most active luxury buyer pool in PR right now. Most listing agents don’t have direct access. We do.
Pricing Backed by Real Data
We pull MLS comps + off-MLS sales + active inventory to price your home where it actually moves. No fishing prices. No “let’s try high and reduce.”
Bilingual Marketing
English-language marketing for mainland buyers, Spanish-language for local. Same listing, two channels, double the reach.
Our Listing Process
- Free CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) — we tell you exactly what your home is worth, with comps, in writing, no obligation.
- Pre-listing strategy meeting — pricing, staging recommendations, photography plan, timing.
- Professional photography + video — drone, twilight shots, lifestyle imagery. PR luxury buyers look at media first.
- Multi-channel launch — MLS, Zillow, our Act 60 buyer network, social media, targeted English + Spanish ads.
- Showings + qualified buyer screening — we vet every showing request. No tire-kickers wasting your time.
- Negotiation + closing — Harry’s accountant background means we understand the tax implications for both sides.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s my Puerto Rico home worth?
The honest answer requires looking at recent comparable sales in your specific neighborhood, the current active inventory you’d compete against, your home’s specific condition and amenities, and current Act 60 buyer demand. A free CMA from Five Star gives you all four data points in writing, typically within 48 hours.
How long does it take to sell a home in Puerto Rico?
San Juan metro luxury homes priced correctly typically sell in 60-120 days. Mispriced homes can sit 6-12 months and end up selling for less than a correctly priced home would have. The first 30 days on market matter most — buyers see new listings first.
What does the seller pay in closing costs in Puerto Rico?
Standard PR seller costs include real estate commission (typically 5-6% split between listing and buyer’s agent), CRIM property tax pro-ration, mortgage payoff and recording fees, deed preparation, and capital gains tax (if applicable — PR has its own structure). Five Star walks every seller through their specific net-sheet before listing.
Should I sell now or wait?
Two factors matter most in 2026: (1) Act 60 buyer demand peaks before December 31, 2026 (the deadline for new applicants to lock in 0% capital gains rates), driving above-trend luxury demand through the rest of the year. (2) Your specific situation — equity position, alternative use of capital, life timing. Free 30-min consultation to walk through both.
