José Andrés was born and raised in San José, Costa Rica, before making Guanacaste home with his family. Having experienced that transition himself, he understands that finding the right property here is about much more than real estate—it’s about finding the right community, lifestyle, and place to call home.
With a background in Business Administration and Finance, an MBA earned in Madrid, and experience with the Global Partnerships team at Real Madrid, José brings a unique combination of strategic thinking, attention to detail, and relationship-building to his work.
He developed his real estate expertise alongside Melanie Engel at Flamingo Beach Realty, gaining hands-on experience in luxury transactions, construction, design, financing, negotiations, and investment strategy.
Today, José sees his role as much more than that of a real estate agent. He is a trusted local advisor who genuinely cares about his clients and the life they are building in Costa Rica. From finding the right property and navigating the purchase to connecting clients with trusted professionals and helping them settle into their new community, his guidance extends well beyond closing.
For José, it’s not just about helping you buy property in Costa Rica, it’s about helping you feel at home here.
We had an exceptional experience working with Jose Andres as our realtor. From the very first moment, his professionalism and genuinely warm approach stood out — he always listened carefully to exactly what we were looking for in our future home. His ability to understand our needs and find options that truly matched what we wanted was impressive. He made us feel supported every step of the way, with patience, availability, and truly personalized service. We highly recommend Jose Andres to anyone looking to buy their next home. Thank you for making this process so special for us!
