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.
Find Out MoreOne day I inquired about one of Scott's listings on his website and the rest is history. His immense knowledge of the local area, diligent and professional work got us successfully to the closing table. We will be forever grateful that we met Scott as we enjoy our retirement in paradise.
