You found paradise
let's make it yours.

You need someone on the ground. Costa Rica has no centralized MLS, no standard purchase contracts, and a property market that moves almost entirely through local relationships and networks. A US-based agent cannot walk the land, verify access roads, flag concession issues, or connect you with the right attorney. I live and work in Guanacaste full time — that is not a detail, it is the whole thing.

The process is simpler than most people expect but different from what Americans and Canadians are used to. You find a property, your attorney verifies the title in the National Registry, you sign an Offer to Purchase, pay a 10% deposit into an attorney trust account, complete due diligence, and close in front of a Costa Rican notary. The whole process typically takes 30 to 90 days. Foreigners have exactly the same ownership rights as Costa Rican nationals — no restrictions, no local partner required.

Yes — but the window is narrowing. Guanacaste has seen consistent appreciation of 7 to 10 percent annually in premium markets like Nosara, Flamingo, and Tamarindo. Prices are still significantly below comparable luxury coastal markets in Mexico, the Caribbean, and Europe. Direct international flights from the US and Canada keep expanding, infrastructure keeps improving, and demand from North American buyers has never been stronger. The buyers who moved five years ago are glad they did. The buyers who wait another five years will be too.

Most agents in this market are experienced but they operate the same way they did 15 years ago — MLS listing, open house, wait. I started in this market as a real estate photographer and videographer at 18, moved into digital marketing, got a business degree from the University of Florida, and became an agent. I use AI tools to target buyers by income, behavior, and location. I produce all the content myself. I run campaigns across Instagram, Facebook, and Google with access to 600,000+ social followers through the KRAIN network. You get me on every call, every showing, every negotiation — no handoffs, no assistants.

Traditional agents take photos, post on a listing site, and wait for someone to find it. I treat every listing like a product launch. Professional drone footage, edited video walkthrough, AI-targeted paid ads that reach buyers in the US and Canada who are actively researching Costa Rica real estate, and organic social distribution across a network of 600,000+ followers. Your property does not sit — it finds the right buyer.

Mostly Americans and Canadians — some buying a vacation home, some relocating permanently, some purely investing for rental income. On the seller side, typically expats who bought 5 to 10 years ago and are ready to cash out at the top of the market, or developers looking to move inventory quickly. If you are thinking about buying or selling luxury property in Guanacaste, Costa Rica — this is exactly what I do.
