Rentals
Get the local price in the right location for your lifestyle (free to renters, 20% to rentees).

Property Maintainence
Regular checkups on your property can prevent a lot of heartache when you come to visit (contract basis, per job).

Buying
Specializing in the south Jaco to Parrita areas. Do you want a turn key property? Beach lot? How about an ecologically-minded homesite that's also planted with agricultural commodities – existing 13 yr old teak, coffee, cocoa, or Jatropha biofuel crops. Imagine a gated community/ active lifestyle, partially funded by the income producing property itself! www.costaricainvest.ie.

Call us today for a brief consultation, so we can create the right property search for you.

Import your possessions
This can take 5 trips to San Jose. You must submit money and paperwork to people along the chain, in places you can't find, for things you don't understand. Not fun at all, we speak from experience!

Property Furnishings
Shopping excursions to the best shops and shopping regions (i.e. Sarchi for hand carved wood furniture, Golfito for the cheapest appliances), or buying on your behalf. Don't get stuck with junky furniture or get ripped off.
We can shop for anything and everything. Appliances, furnishings, tools, toys; anything you can think of that you may need to purchase.

Turnkey living
Help in setting up a local 3G cell phone, electricity, cable, phone and internet, for an easy transition.
