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.
