Unpaid Testimony !!!!!! Do not bear false witness

AUTHOR: Paul - ()

POSTED: Monday, September 22, 2014

DR Escapes is a business concern and I have read the complaint against them and the owners rubuttle.  

I am from Ohio and have no connection to DR Escapes what so ever except that I have been on their free tours and I have in fact bought property through them.   I know nothing about the person filing the complaint but I did not find anything in his complaint that justified his accusations and in fact am living proof that his accusations are at least to some degree unsubstantiated, false and fabricated.  What exactly is the rip off and what is the proof behind the accusation?  Is there any???  If so, I personally would be interested in knowing what it is!

I am a customer who has bought property through this individual and at least thus far, love what we have bought.  We are also activly working on moving there.   Our experience thus far has been exactly as DR escapes rebuttle describes it in thier rubuttle to the complaint.

I have made several supporting posts on their website as a guest.  I have never been paid, I have never been asked or told what to say and at this moment "Barry" has no idea I have found this or any ida that I am responding to the complaint against him/them.  So obviously, I know personally some of what the complaint is saying is 100% false and therefore can only questions thier motives.  I looked up their site today to see what was new which is how I saw this.   I also posted a comment on their site in response to another persons question.

I Believe DR Escapes has three primary objectives. ( this is my opinion only based on my experience and observations )  Yes 1.), to sell property from which to make a profit.  This is the purpose of "business"  and a necessary evil in the world by which we provide for ourselves and our families. 2.) Bring like minded people together to enhance relationships and lives.  3.)  Imporve the community by encouraging people from around the world who what to make a difference somehow to come and be a part of a growing community if the lifestyle suites what you are looking for.

Barry & DR Escapes has done everything to me exactly as they desrcibbed in their rebuttle and I now call myself a friend. I am also working on becoming a resident. I believe based on my many contacts with others, DR Escapes treats everyone the same so I don't think I have received any special treatment.   

You are encouraged to check out evrything they offer look at other properties by others and they simply make available numerous resources to make the process easier for you but always opens the door to use and check out others that he is unaware of.   He even redirected me away from one he originlly had on his list that I started using.  He came to me indicating he was getting complaints from others and I confrimed similar issues.  He found another resource that was much better.   This was clearly in my best interest!  The new resource was a blessing and has helped use in obtaining residency status.  DR Escapes to the best of my knowledge does not get any benefit form this except as a supplimental service that supports those who wish to move there.

We looked at many properties from other compaies and on the internet and sought what we thought was the best value for us for what we weere looking for.  It was one that DR escapes showed us but we did our leg work.

Each person should always take responsibility for themselves.  I am certain there are better deals out there than what I got through them and there will always be a better deal or price if you look long enough and dig deep enough.  If you find it and it's a better value, Take it!!!!!  

DR Escapes is many things and it does revolve around realestate and sales.  Don't expect them not to sell real estate nor make a profit.  Investigate what they offer and protect yourself whether it's DR Escapes or any sales organization of any kind because thier business is at least at the root, sales and profit.

It's a free world -  make your own decisions and take responsibility for them.  

I can tell you their tours are FREE -  If your interested - take one and if at any point you think your being ripped off, run!! It won;t cost you a thing.   Before you buy anything do your homework and make your own decision that is best for you! I am always cautious in sales situations and was no different here.

If you don't want a haircut, don't ask a baber if you need one. Before you accuse someone of some wrong doing, have facts and proof.  My proof this far based on facts is, DR Escapes has done all they said they would do as it relates to me and the accusers information is at least partially false and fabricated.   If I would have evidence of being riped off by DR Escapes, I'll be the first to be back here posting it!!!

Mitsy Comments Are Totally Inaccurate and Libelous

AUTHOR: Barry - ()

POSTED: Monday, September 08, 2014

All we can assume is that this comment was posted by a jealous competitor or someone intending to do harm.

The complaint is totally false and inaccurate.

DR Escapes essentially attempts to educate people about the positives and negatives of life for expats living on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic. We also educate viewers about the rationale of why many Americans, Canadians and Europeans may be wise to secure residency and a 2nd passport in some other country, including the Dominican Republic. We do this through a series of blog posts on DRescapes.com, Youtube video interviews of other expats and locals living on the North Coast, video tours of some of the more scenic sights and sounds of the North Coast and the Dominican Republic, and through uncompensated guided tours of the North Coast. We volunteer our time for up to 4 days per family to drive them around and let them experience the North Coast in real life. We only ask them to pay their own out of pocket expenses and share in the gas and transportation costs. We find that many pepple like the North Coast region of the Dominican Republic while some prefer other areas or other countries. Our role is simply to let them experience this region for themselves and form their own opinions.

As a professional real estate broker we can also show what properties are available for sale in the area, but only if a tour participant chooses to look at property. Looking at property is certainly not a condition or even an expectation in order for a family to particapte in one of the tours.

Regarding the specific claims made in this Rip Off report....

1. 100% of the testimonials on our website are straight from tour participants, backed by original emails or letters on file.  There are dozens of very positive and totally honest testominals shown on the DRescapes.com website for you to review.  These are real testimonials from real people.

2. We have dozens of testimonials on our website and We have never compensated anyone for a testimonial

3. The purchase of property is neither expected nor required.  However we find an increasing number of Americans, Canadians and Europeans are interested in having a second home or investment property in the Caribbean.  Since we have lived as expats in this region for years I suppose it makes sense for our guests to ask us if we know about houses or land that might be for sale.  We work hard to screen out those properties that have title, water access and physical access problems so that none of our guests waste their time on problem properties, of which there are many. 

4. If a participant does choose to look at properties while on tour, we can act as real estate broker. In that role we do not establish sales prices or values of property (the free market does that). We will share our opinions based on our own experience if you choose, but we certainly do not coerce anyone to either purchase or not purchase property. Buyers make those decisions on their own based on their own needs and their own assessment of the value. If we do act as a real estate broker, then our role is to make sure that all the "i"s are dotted and all the "t"s are crossed so that a buyer will receive legal title to the property.

4. The commenter states "Stop stealling and giving totally false and inaccurate information." - Nothing could be farther from the truth. We bend over backwards to actually interview others living and investing in the area. We don't coach them and we allow them to say whatever is on their mind. If they don't like something, we invite them to speak out. And on the other side of the coin, if they like something we encourage them to share their personal experiences.  We are all about full disclosure.  The expat lifestyle on a tropical island is ideal for some people and not for others.  All we can do is help our guests discover whether this region is right for their family.  They have to decide that.

5. We do not paint a sugar coated picture of anything. There are goods and bads to every place and we just try to share our own experiences and observations.  If you want ample evidence of that, please read as many of the articles on the DRescapes.com website as you want.  See for yourself.


It is UNFORTUNATE that someone with bad intentions can attempt to destroy someone else's reputation through libelous and false claims on this site, as this person has.

And just in case you wondered, we have never had any dealings with someone named Mitsy from Tennessee, or Mitsy from anywhere else for that matter.
