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.

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.

Since many of the folks making decisions to move to Costa Rica are what I would call "political refugees", the question many probably are pondering is, what's the political climate in Costa Rica?As a newly minted expat, even one with a residency, temporary or permanent, you won't be able to vote in Costa Rica elections. To do that you must take the step of actually becoming a c...
The phone’s been ringing off the hook since the election!If you're one of those calling me and considering a move to Costa Rica, you've probably already been somewhat frustrated by our lack of an MLS, or centralized multiple listing service, as exists in virtually every real estate market in the good ole U.S.A.Truth be told there is a relatively new nationwide Costa Rica...
