WHO WE ARE:

Who We Are
We are all US agents living in Costa Rica, with more than 25 combined years in Costa Rica, and therefore have a very intimate working knowledge of the real estate market, as well as how to carry out business transactions. All of our agents, in addition to ample real estate experience, all have vast experience in the tourism market in Costa Rica, therefore, giving us an invaluable knowledge of rental values, rental demands and overall tourism growth in each and every destination. We live here and love it.

Our Goal
The goal of the company, 2 Costa Rica Realty and Development, is to offer a highly personalized and detail oriented presentation to potential clients that will highlight not only the majestic beauty of the country, but also the legal parameters within which all investments should be conducted. We have developed a full service sales and development agency for the upper class investor looking for an easy way to get into the market.

The vision of 2Costa Rica Real Estate is one of a high quality product, backed by experienced professionals, an honest approach, and a true desire to provide our clients with a successful investment.

Our agents are young, energetic, and most importantly, very experienced and extremely professional. In our experience, each and every one of our clients has been truly amazed at the level of personal service that we are able to provide, which truly makes investing in a foreign country a comfortable transaction.

A True Turn-Key Real Estate Solution
Sales is our business. However, we feel that our clients need, and deserve, more in order to experience a flawless transaction in a foreign country where procedures vary. Therefore, we pride ourselves in offering our clients a true turn key package with a number of key alliances such as attorneys, banks, tax advisors, interior design teams, architects, contractors, and more.

Our company will provide everything from detailed travel itineraries for investors looking to explore the vast array of different investment opportunities that the country has to offer, to sales, legal consulting, and development oversight. All aspects of the real estate transactions can and will be handled within our company including but not limited to legal representation, bi-lingual and experienced in-house real estate attorney, title searches, title insurance, tax advising with Costa Rican based U.S. Tax attorneys, architectural/construction consulting and contracting, and rental/property management.

How We Work
Our agency takes great pride in creating personal relationships with each and every one of our clients. When we first meet, or speak to our clients, we try to first educate ourselves on the needs and expectations of each client. Instead of jumping directly towards any one property (unless a client specifically asks about one), we strongly believe in working in a macro mentality to learn about our clients, and then educate them based on our knowledge.

Once we truly feel that both we understand the client's needs and investment criteria, and that they understand the concepts about location, value, etc as it pertains to their investment, we then work on moving towards a defined list, or specific property that best fits their needs.

The process of finding the right property can be difficult, and we use our knowledge and experience, combined with the unique investment criteria that each client brings to the table, to try to simplify the process. We believe in the success of our clients, and take pride in being a part of the process!
