Ina Hapke: Three Decades of History in the North Coast Real Estate Business
In a recent publication, the renowned digital media outlet Info El Nuevo Norte highlighted the impeccable career of Ina Hapke, a fundamental figure in the CENTURY 21 Perdomo team for over three decades. Her professionalism and contribution to real estate development on the North Coast have positioned her as an undisputed reference for international and local buyers looking to invest in real estate in the Dominican Republic.
A Pioneer in the Caribbean Real Estate Market: From Germany to Sosúa
Born in East Germany, Ina witnessed the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. That pivotal moment inspired her to seek a new beginning in a sunny place full of possibilities. Her journey brought her to Sosúa, where she found a welcoming community and a promising future for herself and her daughter. Her deep knowledge of the region allows her to connect exceptionally with a global audience interested in buying property in the Dominican Republic, from luxury beachfront properties to investment homes with high return on investment (ROI).
Her First Steps and Accolades
In 1990, Ina joined the team at Juan Perdomo Real Estate, before it became part of the international Century 21 network. Just six weeks later, she closed her first sale, discovering her true passion. Over the years, Ina accumulated prestigious accolades within the brand, such as the Centurion Award, and represented the company at international conferences, including a memorable presentation at the MGM in Las Vegas before more than 5,000 attendees. Today, she is recognized as the longest-serving real estate consultant in Sosúa and a cornerstone of our team.

For Ina, every real estate transaction represents a positive step in her clients' lives, whether it's a new home, a family relocation, or a return to their home country.
