the write up and lay out looks pretty unproffessional and the pictures take a long time to load - I would guest that this is a new operation, I would go for one thats been in operation longer with a known track record

Even with the best agent, all deposits should go through your lawyer and the title should be checked by your lawyer before any deposit is given.

Default i worked with him

I know Tony, and his french partner Chris. I bought half a year ago a beachfront property with them. 30.000 m2.

My Las Terrenas experience:
-They where the ones that always responded on my mails and fast. My first mails started beack 1 year ago and most of the offices even do not reply...
-We mailed very often and after that we started calling.
-They showed me all kind of lots, when i was here. I have been here in total 3 times before the sale. I think we made around 3000 km or more. We went to Barahona, Punta Cana, up the north coast, everywhere.
-The closing went fast and the presented me a good lawyer
-They helped me and they are still helping me

Conclusion for me: professional guys who know the country and who can negotiate with the owner.
I know they work on a commission base and where always very open about that.
