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.
Having decided to realise our dreams and move to Costa Rica, we were lucky enough to meet Scott.
Scott was able to get us round every property we wanted to see (listed with different companies). He gathered pertinent information before and after visits (which he accompanied us on), and liaised directly with listing agents and property owners, which made life very simple for us. We dealt with Scott and he dealt with everyone and everything else.
Scott is genuine, easy going, patient, low pressure and very knowledgeable about Costa Rica and the way things work here. He connected us to the right people and took us through the whole process of buying a property from start to finish. Without Scott's help we could never have found our dream home here in Costa RIca.
If you do one thing here in Costa Rica related to property purchase, let it be connecting fully with Scott, believe me, it will save you time, money and aggravation.

I get asked this all the time:
“How does buying property in Costa Rica compare to the U.S. or Canada?”
Short answer:There are similarities… but there are also some very important differences.
After more than two decades living here and helping clients through the process, I like to break it down into 4 simple steps.
Step 1 – The Offer (LOI)

One of the most common questions I get from buyers exploring Costa Rica’s Southern Zone is whether they should focus on the beach or the mountains.
The truth is, both have their appeal. Many people first fall in love with Costa Rica during a beach vacation in places like Uvita or Dominical. The ocean, the sunsets, the tropical vibe — it’s easy to see why the...
One of the most confusing water issues in Costa Rica real estate comes up when a single property consists of multiple planos, but only some of those planos have water letters. This post is Part 2 of a previous one on the issue of Costa Rica water rights.
This situation is far more common than many buyers realize, especially with large farms, legacy properties, and older subdiv...
