Costa Rica Realtor - Q&A with Mayra Claveria: Q: What is your favorite quotation? A: "Live today as if it was the last day of your life." Q: Please give us your comments on the current market conditions in your area and include prices? A: "Real estate in our area is booming, developers are scrambling to find the next great lot to build on and Santa Ana in particular is one of the top areas in the country for new home construction. We have condos for sale from $100K - $400K and luxury homes from $300K - $2,000,000 - the problem is we have too many buyers and not enough real estate to sell them." Q: What makes you uniquely qualified to help your customers?
A: "Simple things can make a big difference. I only show my customers what they tell me they want to see at the prices they want to pay. I show up on time and will never give up trying to find my customers exactly what they are looking for."

Costa Rica Realtor Customer Testimonials: "Purchasing a second home is always a difficult decision, but to purchase a second home in a country 10,000 kilometres away is a huge challenge and a tremendous risk if one does not have excellent advice and resources.
Mayra Claveria was recommended to us by Scott Oliver on his WeLoveCostaRica.com website and because of her knowledge of the Costa Rica market, her professionalism and her trustworthiness, our decision to purchase a home in Costa Rica was made with confidence and ease.
We processed all of our transactions through email. Using Mayra and the professionals she recommended, our purchase proceeded and concluded flawlessly.
When we finally did get to see our home, a year after we purchased it, we were extremely happy with what we had bought. During our visit to Costa Rica Mayra made herself available at our convenience and spent all the time we needed showing us around and making us feel comfortable.
To say that Mayra is dependable and trustworthy is an understatement. She knows the market very well, acts only in her clients' best interests and is always there when you need her. We have complete confidence in her and after having spent a few days with her during our visit to Costa Rica we see Mayra as more of a friend than a business associate." Boris and Lida. Edmonton, Alberta, Canada." *************************************** We had a great experience with a Realtor I read about in your newsletter, Mayra Claveria, she was terrific. She educated us so well about the Santa Ana area that we read about in your newsletter. Diana Brueggemann, USA. *************************************** "Esther and I want to thank you for all your help in making our dream come true! From the first time you showed us Avalon Country Club we have been thrilled with starting our new life in Costa Rica.
We have been here for six weeks. We are happy with the construction of our condo and especially pleased with the people who work here. We have met no one who was reluctant or unable to help us.
In six weeks we have secured electricity in our name, bought furniture or had items built, purchased ordinary household items. We closed on our condo with Avalon's lawyer and believe it or not we actually understood the process because the lawyer explained in detail our ownership details.
Our condo is beautiful and we enjoy a spectacular night time view every evening as we dine. In the morning we have breakfast and coffee as we enjoy the view of Poas, Barva, and Irazu. We can honestly say that we had no negative experiences.
We have to go back to the USA for the birth of 2 new grand babies but we will miss our home in Costa Rica." George & Esther Purcell. *************************************** "I want to express great pleasure in having met Mayra Claveria who is an absolute professional who quickly sold both of my homes in Valle de Sol in record time.
It's quality professionals like Mayra Claveria that make the services offered by WeLoveCostaRica.com stand head and shoulders above the rest. If you are looking to buy or sell a quality home, don't hesitate to call on this Realtor. My thanks and congratulations again to Mayra for her dedication in selling our homes." May 2007. Jaime A.

"I recommend Mayra Claveria for the Top Costa Rica Realtor..." Raymond J. Sanchez, Jacksonville, FL. *************************************** "I wanted to thank you Mayra Claveria for all your help in looking for a property. The time you spent with us, your excellent ability to communicate with developers and your warmth made our journey very worthwhile!" Kristina Bonfield, USA. *************************************** "Scott, I just wanted to take a few minutes to tell you about our experience buying a condominium through Mayra Claveria. We just recently closed on a new 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condominium at Country Club condominiums in Santa Ana. I had been following the progress of this project since first reading about it on WeLoveCostaRica.com.
We have been coming to Costa Rica for the past 5 years, between 4 and 6 times a year serving on short term Missions trips. After picking up your book "How To Buy Costa Rica Real Estate without Losing Your Camisa" several years ago, I knew I wanted to invest and live in Costa Rica.
So, after watching the progress at Country Club, we extended one of our Missions trips by 5 days to look at Real Estate. Enter Mayra Claveria, most recommended Realtor for the Santa Ana area. Mayra was kind enough to pick us up at our hotel in Alajuela and shuttle us around to several different condominium projects, and then back again, twice, to Country Club.
Mayra's knowledge of the property values at Country Club combined with the availability of the type of unit we were interested in and the current market trends convinced us that Country Club was where we wanted to invest.
Mayra helped us all the way through the purchase process. Which, in Costa Rica, is way different than in Indiana! Mayra was very good communicating the various negotiations, and construction progress on our unit.
Mayra had indicated to us that it would be easy for us to find a tenant for our unit. At first, I was a bit skeptical. My skepticism was pleasantly disproved, as Mayra was able to get us a tenant just as soon as our unit was finished and the deed signed!
Not only did Mayra sell us an investment property and get us a tenant, but she provided us with complete furnishings for our condominium. Everything from beds to silverware and window treatments!
Being a Norte Americano and having been exposed to the usual flim-flam sales we get here in the U.S. it was refreshing having a relaxed, calm, secure sales experience. Mayra has made investing in Costa Rica a breeze. She certainly is an experienced professional in her endeavors.
I would highly recommend (and already have recommended) Mayra Claveria for any real estate purchases in the San Jose area. I know that when we begin looking for our home in Costa Rica, we will be looking with Mayra to walk us through the purchase.
Incidentally, we also used Roger Peterson as our attorney to set up our Costa Rican corporation, handle the closing and all the necessary legalities of our condominium purchase. Roger is another professional that breezed our 1st purchase in Costa Rica.
By following the advice given in WeLoveCostaRica.com, using the recommended Realtor and attorney, and a bit of common sense, both Faith & I are extremely pleased with our purchase.
Thank you for providing all of us with WeLoveCostaRica.com, and the most useful information regarding investing and living in Costa Rica!
Sincerely, Chuck Martonicz. CJM Contractors, Inc. 7747 East 89th Street. Indianapolis, IN 46256

*************************************** "Our customers always tell me the same thing, that Mayra is a sweetheart and also a very knowledgeable real estate professional who fights hard to find them exactly what they are looking for." I also get comments filled with superlatives from our developer friends who tell me that "Mayra knows our own projects better than our own sales staff" and "she is by far our #1 broker." Scott Oliver, author of 'How To Buy Costa Rica Real Estate' and founder of WeLoveCostaRica.com
*************************************** "Dear Mayra. I wanted to thank you for all your help. Having been a Real Estate agent and real estate investor in the Washington D.C area for over 20 years, I really appreciate everything you have done for me. I have bought property in other countries and I have never found someone who has been more caring and helpful, from helping me deal with the builder to helping me furnish my place and everything in between. Even when I was not available to be there, you were able to make sure that my best interest was served, like when you brought me to the curtain store and actually met the installers at my condo and when you met the company to install my microwave. I know that you met with countless people on my behalf. Having walked me through every aspect of purchasing my property, was especially important for me since I don't speak Spanish." Jacques Bankier. Remax Premiere Selections. Potomac, Maryland. USA *************************************** "I have known Scott Oliver of WeLoveCostaRica.com and Mayra Claveria for many years now and have accessed the website on many occasions to keep in touch with various aspects of life in Costa Rica even though I live here myself. Last year, I bought a 2-bedroom/2-bath condo in the Country Club in Santa Ana and a friend of mine rented it until last month. I approached Mayra because I knew she had links with the Country Club and a database of high-end clients who need executive style accommodation. Within a week, Mayra came up with several possible tenants and on her recommendation, I agreed to a probable two-year rental to a top executive from one of the international companies operating in Costa Rica. I was originally offering the unit as a turn-key fully furnished place, which was not what this tenant wanted but she liked the layout, the condition of the apartment and the views, so I was happy to oblige since this might be a longer term tenancy than I had expected. The support and service from Mayra are excellent; she's even helping store some of my things because I had to travel out of Costa Rica the day after the new tenant moved in for a few weeks. That's service!" Vicky Longland, Santa Ana.
