Buying land in another country is often complicated. Costa Rica is no exception. The country is Spanish speaking so if you are not fluent in Spanish, that’s another hurdle you have to overcome as all land registration, deeds, titles, etc. are all in Spanish. This is where it is important when buying Costa Rica realty to use a trained real estate professional.
There are many, many options to buying Costa Rica realty here. Surprisingly, not only are North American real estate professionals represented in this Central American jewel – Century 21 and ReMax for example, but there are also many Costa Rican real estate professions who will be happy to help you.
There are also many business options – from buying a large home and running it as a bed and breakfast to properties with cabins on, hotels and other businesses that are not connected to real estate, like language or surf schools.
Realtors in this Central American country are important because they can help you visit properties but they also deal with the legalities (many work with bilingual lawyers) all of which is in Spanish so unless you can speak Spanish really well, having someone on your team that can deal with all this in Spanish, this alone is a huge plus. This is one of the many reasons they can help you to begin the dream of living in this Latin paradise.
To summarize, if you are interested in purchasing Costa Rica realty, real estate professionals are important because:
They are fluent in Spanish – an important asset when dealing with land and property sales and registration
They know all about the places you’re interested in – they live there too!
They know the ‘hidden secrets’ – where the land is still a bargain; if there could be difficulties with the sale; the people to approach and lots more.
They give you their time for free and stay with you until you have the property that’s the best fit for you.
