Q: What is your favorite quotation? "Never, never, never give up." Winston Churchill.

Q: Would you please describe your current market conditions: "The current real estate market is being negatively impacted by world wide economic fears, oil prices, the US mortgage market meltdown, war, however everything being cyclical this will only last for a period of time. The long term real estate prospect for Costa Rica is golden, for many reasons, including its stability, relative neutrality, climate, people and safe haven."

Costa Rica Realtor - Terry Moran's customer testimonials:

"Pura Vida Scott, It is my pleasure to recommend and endorse Terry Moran as a professional real estate agent. He was an excellent agent; providing information and support during my purchase of a farm on Lake Arenal in 2005. He provided me with excellent real estate knowledge, protected me during the contract and closing phases of the purchase and has an excellent network of professionals to refer people to. Terry helped me find that dream property and to purchase it at a fair price!

In the two years since I became a proud owner of Costa Rican property Terry has continued our friendship and is always happy to meet with me and keep me updated on the happenings in Costa Rica and Nuevo Arenal. This friendship has continue despite my decision to not sell my property for a $300,000.00 dollar gain a few months after my purchase, when a developer became attracted to my farm. Terry is not just about the commission but about long term relationships and improving his permanent community of the Lago Arenal area.

Terry is one of the best brokers I have dealt with. As an owner of 100,000+ sq ft of commercial/residential property in Boulder Colorado, with over 60 tenants who each have a Lease, I have interacted with MANY real estate agents so I know a quality professional. When our family had a second home in Maui we knew many Agents who sold tropical property, so I understand second-retirement home real estate. With this experience I appreciate and recommend Terry Moran, and believe most of his other clients feel the same way." Thomas J. Harrington. Boulder, Colorado - soon to be Tomas De La Arenal.
