Sell your Puerto Rico house from the mainland.
ETO Real Estate buys houses for cash in any town in Puerto Rico, as-is.
You sign a power of attorney where you live; once a Puerto Rico notary has added it to their records, someone you trust signs for you. We send a written offer within 48 hours after we see the house.
How it works
Selling from far away, step by step.
You don't have to fly back for any of it. We work with lawyers, notaries and CPAs who help with the paperwork, including the power of attorney.
Ask for a written offer
Within 48 hours after we see the house
Send us the address. If nobody is at the house, tell us who can let us in to see it. You read the offer wherever you are and decide calmly.
Sign a power of attorney where you live
One appointment with a notary in your state
It names someone you trust, a relative or a close friend, to sign the sale for you. Pick someone on your side, never the buyer.
Someone you trust signs in Puerto Rico
Once a notary there adds it to their records
Once a Puerto Rico notary has added your power of attorney to their records, the person you chose signs for you. You don't have to be at the closing.
Close the sale
We can close in 7 days once the paperwork is ready · goal: under 30 days
Closing takes place before a notary, and in Puerto Rico, notaries are lawyers. Leave behind what you don't want; we clear it out.
What you skip
No trips, no repairs, everything in writing.
Listing the house on the open market can bring more money if you have time and someone on the island to manage it. When you don't, a cash sale can be the simpler way out.
No repairs, no clean-out
We buy as-is: no repairs or cleaning before you sell. Leave behind what you don't want; we clear it out. Power and water don't need to be on.
A written offer to share
Written offer within 48 hours after we see the house. Read it with your family before you decide: the consultation and the offer are free, with no obligation.
A clear timeline
We can close in 7 days once the paperwork is ready. Our goal is to close in under 30 days.
No commission
No commission when ETO buys directly. Who pays each closing cost is spelled out in your written offer.

What's going on with the house?
Whatever the reason you're selling from far away, write to us:
- You live on the mainland

- It owes CRIM property tax
- It's run-down or damaged
- You're moving off the island

Do I have to fix up or empty the house first?
No. We buy as-is: no repairs or cleaning before you sell. Leave behind what you don't want; we clear it out. Power and water don't need to be on. If the house is empty, tell us who can let us in to see it.
How fast can you close?
We can close in 7 days once the paperwork is ready. Our goal is to close in under 30 days. Which papers are needed depends on the house.
What does it cost me?
The consultation and the offer are free, with no obligation; you can turn the offer down at no cost. No commission when ETO buys directly. Who pays each closing cost is spelled out in your written offer.
The house owes CRIM property tax. Can I still sell?
Yes. CRIM is the agency that collects property tax for Puerto Rico's towns. The debt is normally paid at closing from the sale money; you don't have to pay it first.
We inherited the house and live in different states. Where do we start?
With the estate papers in Puerto Rico: who the heirs are, and what Hacienda, the island's Treasury, asks for. Each heir on the mainland can sign without traveling, with a power of attorney.
