Buyer Tips1. Find a respected realtor. As you are already reading our website you have already thought about that. There are many unaccredited realtors in Costa Rica offering services that do not have the knowledge or experience to protect your investment.
2. Don't rush. A ‘too good to be true’ deal probably is. Unaccredited Real Estate Agents will often try to push a deal through for many reasons, for example knowing that come wet season the land is a swamp, or the land was a government donated ‘parcel’ and cannot be legally sold for years to come.
3. Get familiar with Costa Rica and the types of properties you can expect to find here. Costa Rica changes dramatically from region to region. Each region is perfect for someone; find the perfect region for you.
4. Research the residency rules for non nationals.
5. Get to know the people and the lifestyle.
6. Get advice from a reliable source. Coldwell Banker Agents will be able to give you the most reliable information available.
7. Select a reputable local lawyer. Real Estate laws are different in every country; Coldwell Banker works with reputable lawyers who will ensure everything from title deeds, to money transactions are legal.
8. Don't let yourself be pressured by a pushy salesman
9. Get independent advice. Ask around the area where you intend to buy, talk to other people who have bought in the area.
10. Talk to family and friends extensively. Buying abroad affects all your relationships, know the feelings of everyone around you before your take the plunge…most will be excited about the free vacation home in a breathtakingly beautiful country!
