Also, gauging whether or not you align with the ethics and culture of the company is crucial considering those are the people you are going to be spending the vast majority of your time with.

It's very competitive to recruit realtors, you have to train everyone, you have to create your culture, processes, a ton of stuff.

Even non-families are celebrating birthdays, bachelor/bachelorette, and want pools. 

I have a couple of units and is working very great by the way we are building 30 units of suits apartments for Airbnb ( not for sale ) But if you are worried because of the all-inclusive resorts remember not all people travel to a new country to be 24/7 inside a resort there are many things to do in DR starting with knowing the culture, history, and of course the gastronomy and you will never find out that inside a resort. 

How can I assess whether a candidate will be a good cultural fit for my team?

The vast majority I have heard anything around promote, encourage, even celebrate the actions that would enact various degrees of fraud. namely, the #1 I hear is some narrative of "no no no, don't worry about your lender, we will just keep this quiet and between us alone, they don't need to know, all they care about is getting there payments, nothing will happen, let's just keep this quiet".     

Ask neighbors, realtors, etc. for feedback on the culture in the community.

Everyone I've sold a property to in this area in the past couple years are already celebrating equity, and increased rents.

If you do go here its critical you understand the community, culture, environment and treat people with respect.

It is a cultural thing for the area, and for other areas such as Michigan, Minnesota, Colorado, North Dakota, et cetera.
