We had done our homework prior by investigating websites selling and renting property in the Escazu area. We had great expectations for our journey but never thought we would place a bid on a condominium during our first visit. We found the perfect home in Santa Ana and we still are very happy with our purchase. We found Arturo Guzman and "Properties in Costa Rica" to be professional to deal with and always willing to help out. We would highly recommend them to everybody for their real estate dealings.

August 17th, 2015 "We were in contact with Josh before we got to Costa Rica and told him what we were interested in. When we got here, he had several properties for us to look at. He showed us around the area and answered all our questions. We found the house we loved and bought it. Through the whole process Josh was right there with us helping and is still. I would recommend Josh and the whole team at Properties in Costa Rica. We are now living in Costa Rica happy and healthy and have made many friends including Josh." John and Katherine Atkinson |

August 17th, 2015 "Prior to going to Costa Rica I tried to contact a few real estate companies, and I found Art at Properties in Costa Rica to be the most responsive of them all. We arranged a phone call, and Art listened to our requirements and asked appropriate questions to learn more about what our needs were. We spent one morning with Art looking at properties, and he had done research and actually gone to see a couple of the properties, which we very much appreciated. He also sent us pictures and videos of the properties before we even arrived in Costa Rica. I would very much recommend working with Properties in Costa Rica if you are not a Costa Rican, but are looking to buy a property there." Lisa Frankel |

July 28th, 2015 We are offering this testimonial for the benefit of others who think buying real estate in a foreign country is just too scary. We were so fortunate to have met Josh to guide us carefully and expertly through the process. First he helped us learn about the wide variety of locales in the Puntatarenas-Osa area. Touring in the area is not an easy task. He quickly learned about our needs, tastes and temperament so we were able to look at properties that suited us well. We only traveled once to Costa Rica to find and purchase our first casita. We completely trusted Josh to close on the property after we had returned to the United States. He earned our trust and confidence. Through his local expertise we were able to establish enduring relationships that continue and allow us to do business from afar. On our next visit to Costa Rica we had decided to look for an investment rental property. And to our amazement Josh knew of a property we immediately loved. This transaction was somewhat lengthy and complicated-- involving water rights and property surveys. Through it all he kept us informed, was attentive and responsive. His astute negotiating on our behalf made the difference and we were again able to close on our property from the United States. You can put your trust in Josh and that makes all the difference.

July 11th, 2015 We have enjoyed and owned properties in the Southern Pacific coast since 1993, and have known and worked with many realtors over the years. We enthusiastically recommend Josh Kanter to any prospective buyer or seller. He truly knows the real estate market, how to work well with people in two languages, and how to make deals happen and dreams come true. Among Josh's strongest assets are his diligence and tenacity, patience, ability and willingness to communicate with his clients, knowledge of the intricacies Costa Rica real estate law, and ability to give realistic, clear and practical advice to buyers and sellers. We also know from firsthand experience that Josh is very easy to work with and that he works well with and is respected by other area realtors for his honesty and knowledge, which is an essential quality in this particular real estate market. Josh's organization has all the modern tools needed to deliver high quality real estate services—and he knows how to use them effectively. He also offers an array of talented and trusted local contacts who are available to provide a full range of ancillary services from legal and banking to property management and maintenance. We highly recommend our Southern Pacific coast realtor, Josh Kanter, to all prospective clients. Jim and Barb Lewis |

Jun 9th, 2015 With great dedication Art Guzman, our broker, was marketing our house. The result were promising showings, and recently we were able to sell our house. Art was literally taking us by the hand, and leading us through the very complex process of negotiations of the sale of our house. Every step for us was smooth and easy thanks to his outstanding skills. In a very short time we were able to close the deal, and could do the next step in our life. We highly recommend Art, and thank him very much for all his great work. Marita and Eb D. |

March 26, 2015 Dear Mr. Guzman, Re: Sales Agents Kris Anderson and Josh Kanter / Uvita Costa Rica My wife Gayle and I take great pleasure in writing this letter regarding the "Listing for Sale and achievement of a successful Purchase Agreement" for our home in Uvita, Costa Rica. Kris Anderson in your Uvita office was our listing agent. She listed our home in October 2014. From beginning to end, she was consistently enthusiastic and thorough in her presentations and explanations of each step in the process. Along the way, we had many questions and concerns which Kris answered and explained promptly and in great detail which confirmed her professionalism and in-depth knowledge of the real estate market and business in our area. From October to Christmas there weren't many potential buyers but after Christmas the pace quickened and within just a few weeks into the high season, an offer was made and we had a deal. While we consider ourselves fortunate the sale was done in such short order we credit our success to the effective marketing outreach provided by Properties in Costa Rica, and the great efforts put into making a deal happen by Real Estate Agents, Kris Anderson and her colleague Josh Kanter. From our perspective, Kris was 100% committed to all our achievable objectives and was exceptionally patient with us and would respond almost instantly to our phone or email messages. It was such a pleasure to deal with her and we heartily endorse her to anyone thinking of buying or selling a home, finca or commercial property in the South Coast Region. Josh Kanter, the buyer's representative, obviously had more connection with his client than with my wife and I. Yet we did get to know Josh quite well through our frequent interactions with him during our home selling experience. My wife and I cannot adequately summarize the many attributes and qualities Josh brings to his work as a true professional. It is our considered opinion Josh is one of the finest Real Estate agents we have ever done business with (and we have had lots of experience buying and selling real estate in our home country) so we feel very comfortable saying this. If anyone reading this is "uncertain" about which company to select to handle their real estate needs or which agent to put their trust in, Gayle and I have no hesitation to say Properties in Costa Rica, Kris Anderson and Josh Kanter will NOT let you down. Sincerely; Ross and Gayle Gould |

Mar 23rd, 2015 This testimonial will serve as an honest assessment for recent dealings with Andres. During our spring break vacation of March 2014 with our two daughters. Debbie, my wife and I decided that Costa Rica would be our future country and home. We elected to celebrate our 31st wedding anniversary in Costa Rica in three different areas in July 2014. Debbie did a comprehensive search for potential properties in Tamarindo and Samara. Andres was recommended to Debbie and she contacted him seeking advice and possibilities to visit for an evaluation while in town during July 2014. Almost instantly Debbie maintained and sustained positive dialogue with Andres and he provided invaluable feedback and with that an appointment was set up for Andres to pick us up and show us few properties. Andres met us at the hotel on time and was very personable and spoke effective English and we learned right away that he is an educated and knowledgeable young man. Everywhere we went in Tamarindo he was greeted by many local people as he was well known and respected. The both of us felt very secure with him and he treated us as family and Joked around with him constantly.It was a amazing how fast Andres was able to evaluate our likes and dislikes as we visited a few properties. He asked us to keep an open mind about a property that he was about to show us that was not on the agenda and of course we agreed. After visiting Rancho Villa Real Andres proposed that we meet with local architects he knew just to evaluate the possibility of designing our future home just in case. The both of us gained valuable input from Andres and we were compelled to keep our experience as a tool for what we may do in the near future. Well to keep the story short we decided within five weeks that we were going to purchase a property and that we were going to build a home on that property designed by the architect that Andres recommended. Furthermore, Andres recommended a local knowledge lawyer who worked the purchase and will represent us in the future.We plan on moving to our new home in December of this year and Andres also proposed what kind of house warming party we are going to have. I feel that it was destiny and faith that propelled our meeting with Andres and that he made our dreams possible.We have the utmost respect for this young man who is very passionate about his country and his family as well as his profession. We will always consider him as a dear friend and family member for the years to come.Just two weeks ago we took a spring break vacation with our daughters again and spend an entire week in Tamarindo. Needless to say we got together couple times with Andres for dinner and drinks... he does not consume alcohol! Our daughters were impress by him for his personality and savviness, and, of course I already knew that. In summary we would recommend Andres for anyone who has any interest in any part of Costa Rica for I know that he would serve those clients with professionalism, courtesy and a genuine Costa Rican pride. We can't wait to make our transition to our new home later this year and at the same time look forward to cultivating lasting friendship with Andres and his family. Properties in Costa Rica should be very proud to have someone like Andres on their team.I know we got lucky with him and I know you will as well. Kind regards, |
|
Jan 23rd, 2015 You (Kris) and Josh as a team were so awesome in selling our home and so timely!! We feel so lucky that you were representing us. Ross and I will definitely recommend you to anyone selling a home in the future as you bring to the business... professionalism, enthusiasm and organizational skills. Your real estate office is very fortunate to have you as part of their team!! Love you, Gayle & Ross |
My wife and I did our due diligence before coming in Costa Rica in terms of knowing what type of property we want to buy. Andres was more than a help to us in getting our dream house and he become a dear friend that we can always rely on. Andres was going above and beyond at his job to have this deal properly done and closed to our supreme satisfaction. We would always recommend Andres Murillo, as he poses professionalism, integrity and enthusiasm that is required in this line of business. Boris and Mirej |
For 10 years we had talked about buying property in Costa Rica. We found Josh via email while looking at some properties on line, and what ensued was the greatest gift of a person and professional we could ever come across. There are not enough positives that could describe Josh. The property we decided on was unique and came with unique challenges and opportunities and Josh handled every single one of them with professionalism, timeliness, and honesty. From day one he worked diligently to find us the place that was "just right." From recommending attorneys, escrow services, and vehicles, he is like his own "one stop shop" gateway into Costa Rica. He is willing to share and do all things to make your next purchase a success. We have the property and opportunity of a life time thanks to Josh, and will forever be grateful for his diligence, and perseverance. You are in the best, most honest, and right hands! Bruce and Carissa Beckstead |
| Josh Kanter is by far one of the best Real Estate agents I have ever worked with. He made our dreams come true in Uvita Costa Rica. I was a Senior Sales Associate in Manhattan for one of the largest Real Estate Companies in the city from 1996-2005. After moving to Austin TX, I started a Real Estate Investment Company. Needless to say, it is not easy to find someone their perfect home when they have been in the business for so long. Josh listened to what I wanted or what I thought I wanted and steered me into the perfect home. His knowledge of all the areas was very impressive. He took me to the local restaurants and beaches and really showed me what the areas had to offer. I went from looking at Condo’s and ended up buying a beautiful home overlooking the ocean and surrounded by jungle. Thru his knowledge and patience with an ex-New Yorker, he realized that what I really wanted was a home and not just an investment property. Whether you are looking for a home, an investment property or just land, there is no other agent I would recommend. I met a few down there and it was a no brainer to work with Josh. His first priority was finding me the perfect home not just the sale as so many agents do. He went out of his way sending me listings to look at before I came back to Costa Rica so I was very prepared and felt very good about making a decision. Josh will not only be someone I recommend he will also be a friend for life. Sincerely, |
| As a business owner, I am acutely aware of how staff can guide a company and make critical impressions to your customers. Any business would be enhanced by the presence of Andres Murillo. Upon meeting Andres two years ago, he immediately conveyed his interest in helping to find the type of property that fit our needs. With his vast and complete knowledge he has orchestrated perfectly the purchase of our Playa Langosta vacation home. Without question he has made the buying experience a truly satisfying journey. His experience and trustworthiness brought comfort to the overseas buying process. Andres professionalism is coupled with his respect for others. While having the patience to show numerous properties he interjected valuable insight for each that helped us to make an educated decision. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Andres and look forward to future transactions with Andres through Properties In Costa Rica. Barbara Etting NJ, USA & Playa Langosta Pura Vida! April 2014 |

"I'd like to recommend to anyone who has interest in real estate in Costa Rica to contact Art Guzman. Art is most knowledgeable about the market and has insights that only an experienced realtor can provide." Dr. Mark Hinkes Nashville, Tennessee, USA |

We would like to take this opportunity to personally thank Mr. Joshua Kanter for his precise and impeccable assistance in the sale of our home Sunrise Glory of the Pacific in Lagunas de Baru, Dominical, Costa Rica. Our ability to move through what can be a tedious process was made easy by his diligence and methodical manner. His professionalism and ethical approach made the sale both easy and rewarding. With each step of the process, from the showing our home, to the closing of escrow, Mr. Kanter's assistance was exceptional. His personable manner enabled us to relax, and more importantly, be assured all legal matters were handled properly and all necessary paperwork completed. We would highly recommend Mr. Kanter as a representative for any aspect of a sale or purchase of a home. He exceeded all expectations. Many thanks to him and the gentlemen in his office for the excellent representation. Sincerely, |
“My wife and I first contact with Rod Martin was over the internet. Unlike other requests for real estate information Rod responded quickly and with the answers we were looking for. Even though we saw many properties we were interested in, Rod was the only agent that we felt comfortable with in meeting in Costa Rica. Even though the property that we though was our dream lot did not turn out that way, Rod did show us another that fit all of our requirements. He guided us through the negotiations and purchase of the property. Referrals for legal assistance, property tests and archirtect continued with the process. Without Rod we would not have found and been able to purchase with little effort our new property for and Costa Rican house.” Arthur Schinitsky and Ana Restrepo |
|
“Rod Martin sold our property in Uvita for us recently. He managed the whole process for us like a pro. He was pleasant do deal with and made everything quite effortless for us. We received a fair price and sold the property quickly. There are a number of good agents in the area, but Rod also had a steady flow of prospective buyers to view our home. High activity, hard work, professionalism and integrity did the job for us. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others.” Dan and Maryann Morian |
“I was first referred to realtor Josh Kanter when I decided I was going to purchase real estate in Costa Rica. I contacted Josh Kanter, and three other realtors in the Southern Pacific region, provided them the parameters of what I was looking for, and asked for information on potential properties to view when I visited. I realized very quickly that I felt comfortable working with Josh, and decided not to continue to use the services of the other realtors. I find the fact that he speaks fluent Spanish an invaluable asset. Being long-time resident of Costa Rica gives him an edge due to his extensive contacts and knowledge of local properties, the people, history, and customs. From beginning to end, Josh has been, and continues to be; truthful, reliable, honest, prompt with responses, accurate with information, knowledgeable, efficient and to the point, polite, patient, gracious and generous. He has gone beyond the call of duty by assisting with a myriad of additional information unrelated to the purchase of real estate with matters regarding; construction, starting a business, residency, banking/mortgages, and everyday life in Costa Rica. Because of his diligence and hard work, I found and purchased the mountain/ocean view property I dreamed and plan on moving to Costa Rica permanently in 1-2 years. I highly recommend associating with Josh Kanter in any capacity, whether business or personal.” Christine Schiferi – Tampa Bay, Florida |
“My husband and I were delighted with Josh Kanter as he gave us a grand tour of the Dominical area. We were in search of a vacation home or a lot to build on. With him it was fun and relaxed. No pressure. Josh knows the area intimately and his love for Costa Rica helped me open my eyes to the wonder of this special country. Josh was very generous with his time as we searched for just the right spot, and after several journeys we found a perfect location. Now our house is built and we are putting the complete management of it in his capable hands. I have complete faith in his ability and conscientious attention to the many details of property management. I highly recommend using Josh to help you find your dream in the amazing hills of coastal South West Costa Rica. You will have a wonderful time!” Rebecca and Jack Finney – Washington, USA |

"We have known Arturo since 2003 and have bought 2 properties and sold one through his company. I doubt that anywhere in Costa Rica you would find an agent more competent than Mr. Guzman. We first met through an ex-pat's website and Arturo took us to see some properties. The first day we saw only condominiums and were a little disappointed because we were interested in a private home. I noticed, however, that Arturo was really listening to what our needs were and the next day, the first private home we viewed was the one we bought that visit. That is the key to his success, learning and responding to the client's needs. When we listed our home, exclusively with Propertiesincostarica, friends told us we were crazy, list with multiple agents they said, sell it yourself. Our home sold in a few weeks, our friends' homes are still on the market. To sum up Arturo Guzman is the consummate realtor, fulfilling needs and then making sure that everything goes smoothly right up to closing." Gary Chanowich |
July 2013
"Thanksgiving time 2005 I and my wife visited Costa Rica for the first time. We had read a very interesting article in the Travel Section of New York Times. Prior to the visit I had been looking for a realtor to give us an orientation of the condominiums available in the central valley or more precisely the Escazu- Santa Ana area. We found Properties in Costa Rica and contacted Art. The day after arrival Art took us around and had arranged for us to see a number of attractive places. Next day we had narrowed this down to three that we visited again. The same afternoon we left for the Arenal area and experienced an earthquake late that night. We had prior put in a bid for the beautiful condo we later bought. At 2.30 in the morning Art called us in the hotel room and asked if we were still interested, and if so he would go and check out the apartment in Villa Vento, which he also did and found no damage. Beginning January 2005 we came back and closed the deal. We had no intention to act this fast, since we knew very little about the country, but with Art's way of presenting and understanding our needs and also inhaling the beauty of the country our decision was easy to make. We have visited and spent time a great number of times in our place, but also had the condominium rented for periods of time. Nobody could have done a better job arranging this than Art. We live far away in New York and it feels very good knowing that we have a friend and professional realtor to lean on. Art covers a substantial area of the country and can basically fulfill anybody's need in the realetate market. I highly recommend Art to anybody who plans to look for property in this great country. You will be in good hands." Kjell Wikestam |
In August, 2012, my wife and I decided to look into a move to Costa Rica. We found propertiesincostarica.com on the internet. This was indeed fortunate. Not only were the listings of properties extensive, offering a wide variety of choice, but the other information was really helpful. Office staff were courteous and helpful, and responded promptly and informatively to our many questions by phone or internet. If they did not know the answers immediately, they would find out. If they said they would get back to us, they did. This, of course, makes good business sense, but such behavior is not always to be found, when dealing with property rental. If promises were made, they were kept. They also stood in the gap for us linguistically. Neither my wife nor I are Spanish speakers. But communication with the office was always clear and unambiguous. This was a great help. The advice we received was excellent and well-founded. When we decided upon a property, the necessary paperwork was quickly forthcoming. This write-up goes way beyond the mere business report on such things as the accuracy of information, the helpfulness and accessibility of staff, etc. The issue revolves around the fact that we were not treated as mere clients needing a business service. We were treated as people. The information we were given was essential to the smoothness of our relocation. But when you consider it, the helpfulness we have encountered is good business sense on your part. This is the best business sense. It arises from the fact that you understand that you are not dealing simply with properties in Costa Rica, but with people. And that has made a real difference. Would I recommend you to others? The answer is a big yes. |

"I don't often feel compelled to offer business testimonials but my experience with Art Guzman and his real estate firm, Properties in Costa Rica, really warrants a statement of support. When I decided to sell one of my properties in Costa Rica, I engaged Art's services because he and his firm were highly recommended to me by my trusted friend and Costa Rican attorney. I was very impressed with Art's professionalism, sales planning and promotion of my property. He did not just "list" the property, he actively marketed it in multiple ways. Art was able to secure a purchaser for my property within a short period of time and the entire process was very easy for me. I highly recommend Art to anyone looking for North American style professionalism for Real Estate services here in Costa Rica." Neil Magneson

"Thank you for a very positive Real Estate Purchase experience We want to take the opportunity to commend Arturo Guzman and the entire staff of Properties in Costa Rica how lucky we feel in having made that first phone call that connected us with your company to initiate the process that culminated with the purchase of our home in Costa Rica. All our apprehensions of doing such a potentially risky and complicated transaction began to ease from the moment that we exchanged information with Arturo by phone. Their obvious knowledge of the market and professionalism helped to ease our concerns. We were shown a diverse sample of the housing inventory in Atenas and surroundings that covered the type of home we had tried to describe. With patience and willingness, Arturo educated us about the process of buying and owning Real Estate in Costa Rica. We learned the history of local development, the quality of construction, the plans for Atenas and the community we were selecting. Once we settled on a specific property, we went back home with the peace of mind that we had certainly selected an ethical and trustworthy Real Estate Company that would protect our interests through and past the closing. Properties in Costa Rica was involved at every step of the way facilitating the long and tedious process of negotiations, meeting requirements, connecting us with a great legal firm, using a well trusted Title Company and reputable banks. Once we completed the purchase and arrived in Costa Rica to take possession, Arturo Guzman was there personally to meet us at the airport and after driving us to the house on a late dark night, he helped us in the orientation and settlement process. Buying a house in a foreign country can be a daunting experience. For that reason, without hesitation, we strongly recommend Properties in Costa Rica and Arturo Guzman to those who are contemplating the purchase of a property in Costa Rica. You will receive personal attention in addition to knowledge, professionalism and support. You will be able to feel comfortable and confident that things will be handled correctly and with transparency." Thanks for everything |
"As Sales and Marketing Director for the project Colinas de Miramar in Costa Rica, I would like to highly recommend the services of www.propertiesincostarica.com to those who are looking for real results and efficient service, both on the project/development level as well as on individual home sales. We have used the services of PropertiesCR since our launching of sales and they have become a key element in our marketing campaign when it comes to advertising, and lead generation services. We have always found them to be highly efficient, with excellent response time. In terms of cost-effectiveness vs. number of lead sources, they have out-produced most of the more costly affiliate websites that we use to market our project. For anyone trying to ramp up a marketing campaign, or sell an individual property, again, I would highly recommend their services." |
"Hi Freddie, well, I am back. the flights went well without a hitch, and I got home about 7pm, welcomed by rain. I had a great time and want to thank you and karin for your tremendous hospitality. I know you don't have to spend all that time with your clients but for me it was great!! it certainly gave me very good sense of what life is like there in pavones and was so very much better than what any other agent has ever done. I feel like I now have not just a great agent in pavones but also a friend. that makes a huge difference in the whole experience because it adds the one intangible that is so, so hard to find nowadays......trust. again, thank you. Pavones and the surrounding area is truly "paradise" and far and away my favorite of all I have seen in Costa Rica. like I told you...."I want to be there". " Ed Rahal |
"Serve these lines to patenting my thanks for the very professional and diligent way that your company handled the sale of my apartment in Monte Olimpo located in San Rafael of Escazu, San Jose, Costa Rica. This helped to materialize the operation in a reasonable time, during which I was very kindly treated and kept informed of how your company was handling all the possibilities of finding the buyer. Thanks again and congratulations to all the staff of Properties in Costa Rica." Yours sincerely. |
"It has been a wonderful experience working with the team at www.propertiesincostarica.com on our Internet Marketing campaign by placing a banner on your website.

Most importantly, they deliver the results that they promise. Thank you Arturo and the whole Properties in Costa Rica team, we look forward to future campaigns" Juan Ignacio Pignataro.

Extract from the Clay County Democrat: "I came to Rector Realty hoping they would be able to point me in the right direction," Ferguson said. "They certainly did that and so much more." Ferguson was able to meet with Costa Rican realtor Arturo Guzman via a video conference set up by Rector Realty owner Jasa Haney-Hollis. Haney-Hollis and Guzman helped make arrangements for Ferguson's trip to Costa Rica. Not only did they arrange much of his travel, the realtors also were responsible for booking his hotel reservations. A telling sign in the quality of Ferguson's accommodations during his stay from March 24 to April 2 is the fact the same hotel he stayed in also hosted vice-president Joe Biden during his recent visit to Costa Rica. "It was like a movie," Ferguson said. "They had a car waiting for me at the airport to take me to the hotel. They were with me every step of the way. Properties in Costa Rica was very professional. I can't say enough about how well I was treated." Ferguson was shown a number of properties. First, he and Guzman visited the various homes for sale. Then, to provide a different view, Ferguson was flown over the areas in a helicopter. "From the air, I was really able to get a better feel of how the properties were laid out," Ferguson said. "It was also an enjoyable feeling, flying over so much of the country. It was quite beautiful." Ferguson made a point of enjoying the native beauty of Costa Rica. Located just 12 degrees above the equator, Costa Rica enjoys a nice, tropical climate. It's also home to natural splendor, featuring rain forests and beaches. "It's such a beautiful place," Ferguson said. What really attracted Ferguson to Costa Rica, however, was the weather. "Basically, I'm trading four seasons for one," he said. "The sun comes up every day at 6 a.m. and goes down at 6 p.m. They don't have fall or winter there. They do have a rainy season, but it's all sunshine for seven months out of the year." Ferguson says he plans to hold dual citizenship in both Costa Rica and the United States. He also plans on returning to visit Rector from time to time. "I really like that region," he said. "It's a rural area, but it's also developed. They have a lot of their infrastructure in place." "I wanted to work with just one company if I could," Ferguson said. "With Properties in Costa Rica, I've been able to do that." |
I heartily recommend... I have tried so many way to advertise my properties to potential buyers. Some worked for a while. Others never worked. But one website has given consistent results. PropertiesinCostaRica.com has produced an average of 5 or 6 inquiries each week and probably about one per week has been a serious buyer. I heartily recommend Arturo and his company. They are dedicated professionals and they will treat you with respect and produce results. David Rushton |
The service was amazing |
Los Suenos Vacations in Costa Rica! |
Wonderful vacation and Costa Rica experience March 07: Arturo, Ellyn and I want to thank you and Rod P. for helping provide our family a most wonderful vacation and Costa Rica experience. The house was beautiful and served us well but also a special thanks goes to a delightful and profession person, Lucia Munoz. She was fantastic in providing a warm welcome and constant assistance in helping us plan our daily activities. Additionally, pool maintenance and housekeeping support by Hilbert and Geraldine (not sure on spelling) was the best. |
| 1st Class Service!
There is no other phrase for the personalized service I have received from Properties in Costa Rica in general and Arturo Guzman specifically. Before coming to Costa Rica I did some on-line research and talked with people who had a variety of associations with Costa Rica. This prompted me to vacation here with the idea of potentially purchasing property for retirement. I had contacted Properties in Costa Rica through e-mail on numerous occasions and this eventually led to having a staff pick me up at my hotel, for viewing of specific properties. The final property Arturo showed me has resulted in the following: - I questioned why I was continuing to live in Canada when I hated the winters, I decided to retire, I bought the property, I handed in my resignation, I sold my loft in Canada, I moved to Costa Rica, - all within 3 months. At no time in the past year have I had any doubts about these decisions. The services provided by Properties in Costa Rica were not limited to the showing and selling of property. Information was provided on the benefits of establishing a Costa Rican corporation for the property and a referral to a real estate legal firm. When I arrived here Arturo met me at the airport, took me to arrange a car rental, showed me where to purchase household items and groceries, he then took me to my new house. Throughout my interactions with Arturo, he has consistently demonstrated honesty, integrity, professionalism, and a dedication to his clients that endures past the cashing of the final check. |
