RELAX
. . . YOU'RE IN GOOD HANDS! 
THE
COSTA RICA REAL ESTATE GROUP has been serving Costa
Rica for over 25 years (in one form or another), specializing in the
East side of San Jose (Curridabat, San Pedro, Tres Rios, etc.) as well
as Cartago, the Orosi Valley and general surrounding areas, with
houses, condos, farms, etc., for sale. The East side of San Jose is one
of the more rapidly growing real estate markets of the Central Valley
due to:
- Year-round
Spring-like climate
- Wide variety of
malls, restaurants & shopping
- Excellent
services
- More laid-back
atmosphere
- Vibrant influence
of Univ. of Costa Rica
- Plenty of
nightlife
- A nice mix of
Ticos and foreigners
- Cleaner air
(being on the upwind side of San Jose)
- Close to forest
and countryside
- Short hop to
downtown San Jose
- . . . and much
more!
We offer a highly specialized real
estate service from start to finish...and beyond (we
often spend more time with clients AFTER they buy), providing a
relaxing, worry-free experience
for the buyer. You have probably read some of the horror stories of
buying real estate here in Costa Rica, but most of those cases result
from trying to cut corners or get something for nothing. If done the
right way, there's very little risk. It's actually a much more simple
and straight-forward process than in the U.S. We have never had any
purchases go bad.
We are a
proud member of the American-European Real
Estate network (a referral network of independent
real estate agencies throughout the country - each with a specialized
area of Costa Rica - working together to provide a more comprehensive,
one-stop-shopping service to our clients)...functioning like our own mini-MLS system (there is
currently no true MLS system here).
COSTA
RICA is truly an amazing country, well deserving of its
reputation as a prime retirement haven. For one thing, the climate is fantastic.
Being so close to the equator, the temperature at any given location
changes very little throughout the year. There are hot areas of the
country and cool areas of the country, so you can select the area with
the right climate for you and then enjoy that climate all year round.
If you enjoy a temperate climate, you can enjoy
an eternal Spring on the East side of San Jose and
Cartago, with average daytime temperatures in the low 70s F (around 22
C) YEAR-ROUND. Where I live on the east side of San Jose (Curridabat
area), I leave my windows open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year...never needing heat or air-conditioning!
It truly is unbelievable! The coastal areas are way too hot and humid
for my taste, so I prefer to live in an area of eternal Spring and then
just go for a weekend at the beach whenever I want (and, that way, you
can check out a different beach each time!).
But the
climate is just the beginning of the advantages of this
country. Costa Rica a very small country but it is extremely diverse,
from sandy beaches to 11,000-foot volcanoes, from lowland jungle to
high-elevation cloudforest, from the modern capital city of San Jose to
total seclusion in the countryside.... You can find small, basic homes
from US$30,000 to multi-million-dollar luxury mansions and estates. So
you can live as simply as you want or as extravagantly as you desire.
But one of the biggest advantages and greatest resource of the country
is the warm, friendly locals ("Ticos"), who, unlike those in many of
the other Central American countries, welcome the opportunity to make
new friends with foreigners. All of the above (and much, much more)
combine to make this a fantastic place to live! Check out the American-European forum
on questions and issues related to real estate and living in Costa
Rica.
