Real Estate Tips

Because real estate activities in Costa Rica are unregulated by the government, it's recommended for foreigners to hire the services of a reputable real estate agent. The Costa Rica Real Estate Board (CCCBR) is the oldest organization in the country that provides direction in this key activity.

On the other hand, FSBO Costa Rica provides an opportunity to property owners to reach Costa Rica real estate buyers and vice versa.

Costa Rica real estate buyers should always hire the services of well-known attorneys to obtain the best advice throughout the buying process. The United States Embassy has gathered a list of bilingual attorneys in Costa Rica at http://sanjose.usembassy.gov/attorney.html.
