Buying real estate is not always an easy or simple task, it is a very important decision and like most important decisions it require lots of planning, thought and, unless you’re an expert in that particular field, it’s often best to ask the advice of experienced professionals.

When purchasing real estate in a foreign country it is even more crucial you are dealing with qualified and reputable people. It just continues to amaze me that although people like Scott Oliver of WeLoveCostaRica.com have worked diligently for years to warn people of the many pitfalls in Costa Rica real estate, the number of people who ignore the warnings – which are easy to find – and who make significant, very expensive mistakes is frightening.

We Hate To Say: “We Told You So…”
Please listen to our warnings!

Some people learn the hard way, but for the others? For those of you – who like us – love Costa Rica? Please, please, please remember:

  1. We warned you about working directly with ‘questionable’ developers, because they are simply motivated to sell their inventory and are not always forthcoming about other properties (selling at much lower prices) available in their development.
  2. We have warned you about using a seller’s attorney to handle a closing, because that attorney is naturally representing the seller and not you.
  3. We warned you about purchasing property sight unseen, because any where in the world it is simply a bad idea.
  4. We warned you about not researching and choosing a professional and reputable Realtor in Costa Rica and consulting with him/her on the market you have interest in purchasing, instead of being confused or misled by fly-by-night or dishonest, boiler room salesman.
  5. We warned you about sending funds directly to a seller or developer instead of to an escrow account.
  6. We warned you that if you are only spending a portion of your time in Costa Rica you should consider a gated community.
