Buying property in Costa Rica without a dedicated buyer’s agent can be costly—and even risky. Without someone advocating for you, the seller’s agent only represents the seller’s interests, leaving you vulnerable to overpaying, missing key contract details, or overlooking legal requirements.

​

An experienced buyer’s agent ensures your interests are fully protected at no cost to you, since commissions are typically split with the seller’s agent. Your agent negotiates in your name, schedules property visits, and guides you through the entire process, providing expertise and peace of mind.

​

A qualified buyer’s agent also:

• Sends new market listings and foreclosure opportunities, so you’re always the first to know

• Schedules property visits for listings you find anywhere, including on- and off-market opportunities

• Understands Costa Rican laws, contracts, and closing procedures

• Translates all documents into your native language and communicates with sellers in a foreign language when needed

• Provides expert guidance on foreclosures, including lists of questions and required inspections

• Connects you with trusted local professionals for soil tests, property inspections, and other due diligence

• Offers market insights and personalized recommendations to find properties that meet your specific criteria

With a buyer’s agent, you gain a dedicated advocate, a team approach with the seller’s agent, and confidence that your investment is protected.
