Javier Jiménez
Javier Jiménez is a prominent real estate agent in the Dominican Republic, known for his insights into the local property market. He has been vocal about the rising trend of dollar-denominated rents and property prices, attributing this to the depreciation of the Dominican peso and the high demand for residential and commercial properties in urban areas.

His expertise sheds light on the struggles faced by local residents and the broader economic implications of the housing market dynamics in the country.
