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.
Scott is vastly knowledgeable, a through professional. He made our purchase and transition easy. We totally trust him. He operates in the spirit we are accustomed to in the United States were the clients needs are superior to his own. He is creative and forward thinking, he listened to our desires and produced just the right options for us. If you work with Scott, you can be assured that everything is correct and drama free.
