- Description
- I have lived in Costa Rica almost four years, one place in Tamarindo and another in Escazu. Your menu didn't include Costa Rica, so I chose Igloolik as my web residence.
Costa Rica Condos,Environmental Development
Use this section to write about yourself - don't be shy - Why should a buyer or seller want to work with you? Do you have any certifications and qualifications? What sets you apart from other agents/loan officers?
I have three business things going on in Costa Rica right now, a 31 acre condo development between Tamarindo and Flamingo with me and 11 workers on site, prices starting at $205,,000, up 50% from a year and a half ago, a 50 acre oceanview lot development near Playa Azul about one hour south, near The Sanctuary resort, and a fledgling real estate sales company, Green Seal Realty, that limits itself to environmentally responsible properties, a niche that is way too small, but hopefully will grow. In the U.S. I was a real estate lawyer, then a banker, then retired, then bored (not necessarily in that order). I love Costa Rica, also like Panama. If you want to have some adventure, this isn't a bad place to be. Or, you can just chill. Pura vida.
Oh yeah. Why Igloolik? I have noticed that a lot of buyers and visitors are coming here from western Canada. No one yet from Igloolik, however, so I thought I'd tap a virgin market. Our billboards says "We Welcome Loonies". Only one politically correct complaint in two years, heheh.
Costa Rica Investments and Retirement
Use this section to write about your specific areas of expertise. Do you specialize in first time buyers - listing high end homes - etc. Are there specific market area's that you specialize in? The more you write about your area's of expertise the more knowledgeable you'll sound to a potential buyer or seller.
I came on this site to shamelessly promote my projects, and to cooperate with agents in the U.S. and Canada in selling ecological projects in Costa Rica. I strongly recommend visiting first and travelling around the country before buying anything. I think you and your clients will love it, but then again, there is no accounting for taste. Because of the international airport, surf beaches and climate, I personally chose Guanacaste as my place to invest, after travelling all over. While prices are higher than they were, tourism continues to grow, and the market is active and rising, still way below North America on an absolute basis. The international financial crisis has been felt, but many people are exploring Costa Rica as a low cost alternative toget away from it all while not going too far away.
