After Closing
Once all documents are signed and funds are released, you will receive the keys to your new property. The Notario Público will register your deed in your name, and within 45 to 60 days, your official registered deed (escritura) will be ready for collection, along with receipts documenting your purchase price and taxes paid. Our commitment to you does not end at closing. We remain available to assist with utility setup, local service recommendations, or connecting you with trusted architects, designers, or property managers.
