I am a naturalized citizen of Costa Rica. I first arrived (from the U.S.) in 2001 to broker a deal that sold one of the country’s premier private universities to a U.S. publicly-held education company. Since 2004 I’ve arranged eco-intensive Costa Rica vacation tours to locations throughout the country, as well as Nicaragua, Panama and Colombia. In addition to serving as an agent with the Coldwell Banker Dominical Realty team since 2015, I offer Expat Consulting and conduct guided Expat Tours.
We couldn't have asked for anyone better and I am so pleased that I've already given his info to a friend of mine who is seriously considering moving to Costa Rica!

One of the most common mistakes I see people make when moving to Costa Rica is focusing too much on the house and not enough on the life they hope to create.When I first begin working with prospective buyers, I often hear the same things. They tell me they want a cooler climate, a slower pace of life, more connection with local culture, opportunities to learn Spanish, a sustain...
