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.
My wife and I had such a wonderful experience working with Scott Bowers in the Pérez Zeledón area of Costa Rica. From the start, he was warm, professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and truly attentive to what we were looking for.
Scott showed us several properties, including the ones we asked to see as well as others he suggested based on our criteria. His knowledge of the area, the local market, and Costa Rican real estate law was extremely helpful. He made what would have felt like an overwhelming process feel so much easier and far more comfortable.
What really made Scott stand out was how much he genuinely cares. He was more than just a realtor — he felt like a personal guide to the area and to life in Costa Rica. He shared so much helpful insight about what it’s really like to live there, and he also introduced us to some fantastic local restaurants and hotels, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Ricar2!
Scott is very responsive, thorough, and clearly operates with a high level of integrity. We always felt listened to, supported, and in very good hands. We would 1000% recommend him to anyone looking for property in the southern zone of Costa Rica, especially if you are relocating and want someone who intimately understands both the process and the people he’s helping. We will always have a friend in Scott in Costa Rica! Pura Vida!

One of the questions I get asked all the time is: How much does it cost to live in Costa Rica?The problem is that there really isn't one good answer.Where you live matters. How you live matters. Whether you shop primarily at local stores or imported-goods supermarkets matters. And whether you're trying to recreate your North American lifestyle in Costa Rica or adapt to a more l...
Few subjects in Costa Rica real estate create more confusion than beachfront property.People hear that Costa Rica’s beaches are public, that coastal property cannot be privately owned, that foreigners cannot hold concessions—or, just as often, that a particular beachfront property is fully titled. All of those statements contain some truth, but none tells the whole story.The re...
One of the things I've learned after years of selling real estate in Costa Rica is that our market doesn't operate in a vacuum.Costa Rica has its own economy, its own construction costs and its own peculiarities when it comes to buying and selling property. But when it comes to the international real estate market—particularly the lifestyle and higher-end market—the economic mo...
