PUNTA CANA.-The local real estate market is booming, drawing international advisors and experts. They bring successful real estate strategies and news from their respective markets.
An expert from Italy-France, Raul Alberti, boasts over 23 years of experience in the real estate industry. Having sold over a billion dollars in real estate, Alberti credits his success to creative methods.
Alberti’s real estate brand, 195 Real Estate, was launched in the Dominican area last year. It introduces unconventional property sales methods such as cryptocurrencies, tokenization, and fractions, many of which have proven successful elsewhere.
The key to Alberti’s successful strategy is innovation. This approach has been particularly beneficial during his 13-year tenure in Mexico.
Alberti explains how people no longer need $100,000 to buy an apartment in the Dominican Republic. It’s now possible to purchase a part of a property and still have ownership rights.
Alberti recently brought this fractional real estate model to the Dominican Republic. It involves shared ownership; a group of people invests in a single property and enjoys equal benefits from the property’s return on investment.
Alberti’s innovation was pre-launched in the country recently, following success in Mexico. There, his company was the first to sell properties with cryptocurrencies and is recognized as a market pioneer.
195 Real Estate has been in the Dominican market for about a year, specifically in Punta Cana. The brand has 8 real estate advisors locally, and approximately 100 elsewhere; Florida, Orlando, Mexico, Dubai, Bali, and the Dominican Republic.
How are fractions purchased?
According to Alberti, the fractional purchase model works best with 10 to 12 people involved. This enhances client creation potential, and more people can afford to invest in real estate. If an investor can’t visit their property, they can still earn a return on their investment.
Alberti believes this model is suitable for digital nomads. Beth Lizardo, a representative of the brand in the Dominican Republic, confirms that it has been successful in Mexico, with properties already delivered.
Purchasing fractions were only pre-launched in the country recently, but there are already 100 people on the waiting list wanting to use this model.

Sales start in January
195 Real Estate’s CEO announces that fraction sales commence next January, ahead of February’s official launch.
A Non-traditional Real Estate Agency
Alberti’s business, 195 Real Estate, is not a traditional agency. It’s connected with more than 23 thousand brokers worldwide and offers various purchasing methods, including cryptocurrencies, tokenization, and fractional ownership.
A Focused Seller
Alberti’s focus is primarily on investors, people who understand numbers and can make long-distance transactions. He emphasized the importance of maintaining a specific focus in the real estate business.
The company conducts virtual events, which have attracted up to 600 potential clients. Due to their effective marketing and positioning strategies, they’ve even sold an entire project in just an hour.
Alberti states that despite not having a lot of agents in 2023, 195 Real Estate achieved almost a thousand sales, 93% of which were online.
