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 had little time but we knew what we were looking for. Scott found and showed us a few properties that were within the requirements. Within days we put down the offer and bought the property. Scott helped us with the complicated process of buying in a foreign country. Thanks to him the process was smooth and pretty fast. After we took possession there was a period of several months before we were able to really take possession of the property. We needed time to take care of things from home in Canada. Scott took care of the property by keeping an eye on it and organizing basic maintenance – cutting the grass, dealing with the mud-slide blocking the driveway, etc. We are immensely grateful for his service, which went way beyond his duty as an agent.

In seconds, it can answer questions that would have taken hours or days to research just a few ye...

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...
Costa Rica has a way of turning Murphy’s Law into something closer to a governing principle. Whatever can go wrong probably will, usually at the exact moment you’re trying hardest to avoid it.That reality becomes especially apparent on the road. The tighter your schedule, the more determined the country seems to complicate it — which is why we joke down here that if you arrive...
