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 have used Scott Bowers for house shopping and later selling our Costa Rica Home..Scott is a wealth of knowledge not only selling but transitioning to life in Costa Rica. He was very hands on all the way through the process and very responsive. Highly recommend Scott Bowers..he knows everyone.

With buyers having more negotiating leverage in the Costa Rica real estate market than they have had in some time, seller financing has become a more common topic of discussion.In a softer market, sellers who might once have insisted on all-cash offers may become more open to financing part of the purchase price in order to get a deal done.That said, seller financing in Costa R...
