For what it's worth we have delt with L'Agence for a numbrer of years. They have always done a great job. Their email is Agenccabarete@codetel.Net. They have allway been very honest and responsive. You can find cheaper but cheaper is not always cheaper. I, We, know we can trust them, and it makes things easier for us. Just a suggestion.

I know of two responsible, reputable people who do property management. One is Peggy Kiousis who owns a company called Caribbean Dreams (not to be confused with the business of the same name in Sosua.) She is an American, for whatever that means. She manages properties within Seahorse Ranch, properties which rent for US$4,000 - $6,000 a week. We have used her to manage our villa when we are absent and we have also rented from her personally and for our friends. She is responsible and reliable. She will come immediately-even in the middle of the night- if there is any problem at all, and she does airport pickups. Her numbers are 809-903-0162 and 809-571-3350.

The second person I know-and I don't know the name of his business, is Jeff Zirbes. His wife is an American attorney who works for Juan Perduomo Century 21. In the US, he did corporate property management before moving here. Currently, he manages the new condo complex east of Cabarete, the Victorian. I don't have a phone number for him, but his wife's number is 809-256-7013.

If you call either Peggy or Jeff, you can tell them that Lindsey gave you their name and number.

Good luck!
Lindsey

Well! It is after 5PM and still have not had any response from Amber G after about 30 hours from my Email to them.

Staying within the OPs' original question without bashing OR promoting; just the facts.

I Googled for Dominican Republic Rentals and again for Sosua. For those interested in a rental/management agent, look for yourself. Same for those looking for a rental.

Oriole and Lindsey. First hand recommendations from known DR1 people helps all of us but is still up to each to investigate and make up their own minds. Can you post thier Web address? This would give all of us the opportunity to get a "feeling" about them. Should not be a problem being a 3rd party recommendation. (Robert?)

Thanks. Regards, Ringo

Okay. Here is Peggy Kiousis' website.

Caribbean Dreams Vacations - Dominican Republic Vacation Rentals and More

You will need to contact her for detailed information about her property management. The website features the rentals she has available. I might be wrong- you will have to ask her- but I believe that most of the properties she rents, are also properties the she manages. Please, check with her, though, as I don't want to give misleading information.

I will try to get hold of Jeff Zirbes to get his website. He and his wife are personal friends, so I don't have one of his business cards or know his website. Sorry.

Lindsey

Lindsey,

In all fairness. I looked at the site that you posted above in #64.

A very quick look and sent an Email. I must say, Peggy was a little confused... but did respond within 20 minutes with proper answers to my very short Email that did not get into detail. I did direct her to this DR1 thread.

Finding good things can be fun????

Regards, Ringo

Just to correct something written by Lindsey. The Victorian is managed by Peggy from Caribbbean Dreams not Jeff Zirbes nor his wife. Jeff was formally associated with Xcel Management. Xcel was the original management company for the Victorian but they were relieved of their services. Peggy does a wonderful job and comes highly recommended.

LindseyKaufman · #29 02-06-2008, 08:30 AM

Thank you for the correction. I had learned this after my posting. Due to my friendship with Jeff and his wife and the fact that they had yet to share this information with me, I was reluctant to correct my original post, hoping instead, that someone such as Denmay565 would do so for me.

I placed myself in a difficult position, and I am glad to hear that the correct information is now on this thread.

I had also learned that Peggy is now managing the Victorian. I am happy for Peggy, as she is a hard worker.

Rental service/management companies update.

I thank the OP and everyone that contributed to this thread.

As of this posting, I never heard from Amber Guard. I have, and hope that anyone that is interested, has done thier own research and closer to a conclusion as to who are the better rental/property managers on the North Coast; Sosua/Caberete area.

I will make my calls and see where that goes.

Regards, Ringo
