Below is a breakdown of the process and what you can expect during your home purchase at Ocean Palms:

Step 1: Decide on the residence that’s right for you:

We offer a variety of 1,2, and 3 bedroom units, ranging from cozy ground floor suites to breathtaking 280 degree penthouse views. Our apartments are all unique and sure to amaze. Set in a prime location, just a five minute walk from beautiful Encuentro Beach, Ocean Palms is encircled by stunning ocean, mountain, and tropical garden views on all sides.

Step 2: Decide on your offering price and terms of offer

Each of the units has a set asking price, you can decide what price you want to offer and make a formal offer through your realtor. If there is no realtor involved, a verbal and written agreement can be reached between you and the Ocean Palms Sales Team. Terms of the offer can include deposit or down payment amount and date, as well as closing date.

Step 3: Negotiate

Our sales team will either accept your offer or issue a counter offer.

Insider tip: working without a sales agent will give you more room for negotiating the price as there are not realtor fees involved.

Step 4: Offer is accepted

Once the price and terms of offer are accepted, it is standard procedure to pay a refundable deposit of approximately 10% which comes off the total price of the property.

Step 5: Sale closes

Upon the agreed closing date of the sale, all funds must be transferred to our Lawyer – Guido Perdomo’s trust account. At this point, the deed of sale is completed with the lawyer. The title is passed to the new owner with the completion of payment.
