CHOOSE A REAL ESTATE AGENT
Buying a property in Costa Rica requires understanding the process from start to finish, finding the best area for you and your family, searching for the perfect property, paying market value for that property, having professional and easy-to-understand attorneys to keep you protected, making important financial decisions, and completing paperwork.
It helps to have an expert in your corner when undertaking such a large purchase, especially in a foreign country. We will guide you through this entire process from the moment you consider purchasing to after closing. We make sure you have everything you need to be able to start enjoying this Pura Vida lifestyle! We are trilingual (English, Spanish, French).
We will offer you listings from every agency in the area, and will also provide you with access to property listings before they hit the general market. Although we can sell you any property in Costa Rica, our area of expertise is the northern Pacific Gold Coastline of Guanacaste from Peninsula Papagayo down to Playa Negra. We specialize the following communities: Peninsula Papagayo, Reserva Conchal, Las Catalinas, Hacienda Pinilla, Mar Vista, Playa Conchal/Minas, Playa Flamingo, Playa Potrero, Playa Brasilito, Playa Tamarindo / Langosta, Playa Grande, Playa Avellanas, Playa Junquillal/ Negra / Marbella, Playas del Coco / Ocotal / Hermosa / Panama, Villa Real.
Here are some factors to consider when choosing your real estate professional:
- Look for a full-time agent – one who has experience completing transactions similar to yours. We have helped over 560 families buy or sell property!
- Check out their Google Reviews – what do other clients say about them? See what Flamingo Beach Realty clients say HERE.
- Ask if they are familiar with the area in which you are interested. Where do they live?
- Ask how they typically work. Do they research all available options for you or tend to just present and show you options within their own portfolio?
- Ask how much time the agent will have for you, and if they are available at night and on weekends.
- Does the agent return your calls promptly? Time is money when attempting to buy a property.
- Ask for a list of properties they have sold or check out their social media to see what they have been posting as SOLD sales. See Flamingo Beach Realty’s Instagram, Facebook, Linkedin, and Youtube .
- Ask what happens after the sale. We at Flamingo Beach Realty assist you after the sale as well. We have a large network of professionals in all fields to assist in making this a smooth and easy process. We will connect you with lawyers, handymen, architects, builders, interior designers, furniture makers, property management companies, insurance agents, etc.
- Choose an agent who listens attentively to your needs and concerns, one you feel you can trust. Pick an agent, with whom you feel comfortable. One of our core values at Flamingo Beach Realty is to treat clients like family. We want you to know we always have your back and are here for you.
