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.

One of the questions I get asked constantly by foreign buyers considering a move to Costa Rica is:“How high are the property taxes?”The answer usually comes as a pleasant surprise.Compared to the United States, Canada, and many parts of Europe, property taxes in Costa Rica are generally very low. In fact, many buyers are shocked by how inexpensive annual carrying costs can be —...
For years, many buyers coming to Costa Rica assumed that purchasing land and building a custom home was automatically the smarter financial decision.And in some cases, it still is.But today’s market is different than it was five or ten years ago.Construction costs have risen substantially in recent years due to increases in labor, materials, transportation, and permitting expen...
For decades, most long-term expats in Costa Rica got used to thinking about the exchange rate in one direction only: the colón slowly losing value against the U.S. dollar.That was simply the reality for many years. If you earned dollars and lived in Costa Rica, things generally got cheaper over time from your perspective.But over the past few years, something unusual has happen...
