This a extension of my unhappy realtor experience
I am on to my flight to C/R on Saturday Jan 9 am
At this moment i have not had a word back from this Victor
Recommended by Scott so i will find some one that has interest in trying to show me some land and homes.
Sorry for being so Harsh , But i can NOT run my Show this way.

Willem[/quote]Then just a guess, but you probably are not going to make it in Costa Rica 😮 You do not run the show here – the show runs you! It’s all about different and yes, in some cases, lowered expectations.
Willem,
Did you look into the Zima? I’m wondering how serious you are about finding a “nice hotel.” Your comments seem to be more interested in bad-mouthing Victor Guerrera than in finding a place to stay.
By the way, looking at your picture I think you may have a doppelganger in San Isidro. His name is Thomas and he doesn’t like to be called “Tom.” I’d like to see the two of you together. The resemblance is striking.
Give the guy a break! He may have booked into the Zima….
In response to [b]editers[/b] statement[i] “Your comments seem to be more interested in bad-mouthing Victor Guerrera than in finding a place to stay”[/i] would you, [b]editer[/b], recommend [i]anyone[/i] whether in CR or the USA who didn’t keep an appointment and then failed to respond to both messages and phone calls?
The ideas of these forums is to tell others of experiences, both ‘positive’ and the ‘not so positive’.Oh sigh. This is why I try to avoid commenting on a lot of these threads. There’s always some argumentative type who wants to draw out the discussion ad nauseum. I personally haven’t the time, patience, or inclination to get involved in fruitless banter with someone who has a different sense of logic than I have. But I’ll answer you, costaricafinca.
I agree that one of the main functions of this forum is to air complaints about services or businesses in Costa Rica. However, I also recognize that not all people who complain are the “good guys” in a situation. They may be carrying a grudge. I had that suspicion when I read opabh’s first post. He initially asked for a recommendation for a “Nice Hotel” but ended with a dig at the realtor. My logic told me that that was strange. Perhaps your logic doesn’t see that.
I agree I would not recommend a realtor or who didn’t show up for an appointment that he made with me. In Chicago, we have a name for real estate agents who don’t show up for appointments. We call them Mac Donald’s assistant managers. What would be Victor Guerrero’s motive for not showing up for an appointment? Why would he kiss off what, I imagine, would be a hefty commission? Do you think he likes to play tricks on gringos? My logic doesn’t allow me to think that. Maybe your logic has some other explanation.
If opabh has already booked a room at the Zima or at any other inn, it would seem to me that, because the discussion began as a search for a “Nice Hotel,” he ought to end the thread by thanking welovecostarica for helping him find it. Instead he continues to give us an update on how he is being ignored by Guerrero. I’d have a little more respect for opabh if he came out originally with problems that he is having with the realtor instead of putting out some Trojan Horse to snipe from. Perhaps your logic, costaricafinca, doesn’t allow you this perspective.
If opabh wants to air his grievances with Guerrero in a more straightforward manner. I’d be interested in reading them. Otherwise my opinion is still that the injured party here could just as easily be Victor as Willem. I’m not going to jump on any bandwagon without knowing something about what parade it’s in.
I see from the forum that you have nearly 400 posts to your name, costaricafinca. I have just over 100. I’m pretty sure that I’ve been a member for as long as you, if not longer. As I said, I try to avoid getting into endless arguments. You apparently enjoy them. Therefore, I won’t address you anymore on this thread. If I want to spend hours in front of my computer, I’ll look at some porn.
Nice hotel with a pool in San Isidro: Los Crestones; clean, friendly, safe, with Internet, A/C…
BTW: V. Guerrero was a no show in my case; was chatty in his emails, recommended properties he is going to show me, I’ve made a very long trip, but he was nowhere to be found. Learned my lesson fast! Victor and another gringa “realtor” made me a huge favor, without even knowing/intending it. I went my own way, bought directly from a Tico owner. I can’t be more satisfied with the outcome, and those amateurs did not get a penny of my money.
Well, when in Costa Rica do as Ticos do: buy/sell property directly; they have a good reason for doing so.All the best!
