Scott this is in reply to your question:
I originally brought a Hecture in parritta through Paragon properties 2.5 years ago
Paragon properties Aqreement was to provive all of the interstructure and build my chosen home @ 60$ a square ft. just about 6 months a one Les Masters call me to tell me that the city of parritta had change the lot numbers and my property was not lot #54 but has been change to lot number lot #62 the old switcharue lot number 54 still exist lot number 62 is a different lot and the way I see it I cannot build on it At least not @ 60$/sq. ft the lot was changed without my consent or knowledgeget your money back and got to Jaco. theirs about 154 american real estate agents you can see about land.
I sent a deposit to Paragon properties to purchase a lot about 1 !/2 years ago . I didn’t like it and they refunded my money in about 2 months. However, I have not seen any development since then on thee property. I hate to say this, but I feel that Americans are taking advantage of the great opportunity to invest in Costa Rica. I have since purchased and have had great experiences with developers other than Americans ( I are one)
Be very careful and not send money to anyone that you have not personally met and seen.
Jonwell, I am happy to say that I passed on doing business with Paragon for a number of reasons. I bought 5 lots from Costa Developers and my experience has been a good one…some problems, yes, but minimal and we worked them out easy enough. .i don’t think it’s just American companies that are causing problems though, I believe dishonest and unethical business people are everywhere on the planet! Do your due diligence and go with your gut if persistant bad vibes are hounding you….Take your time and do not rush into things….Anyone wishing to know about my good and bad experiences in dealing with real estate in CR please feel free to contact me here on welovecostarica.com

Isn’t it possible that you bought an “agricultural plot” and that now they have a Master Plan they are “moving you” to conform with the plan? Is it also possible that they informed you that this might happen in advance? I’m curious to know if this is the case or whether they are up to something else.
In the 2.5 years since you invested have they completed any infrastructure?
Edited on Jul 10, 2007 11:48
I have been following the Paragon stuff for a few years at this point…almost just by default. It seems like they keep starting projects but none are actually complete, as in all the roads, water, electric etc now build your house kind of complete.
We are putting on hold any legal action after being contacted by paragon properties and offering to resolve what they are calling “mis communication.” I will keep all those in concern informed.

Frank R. ScalesI look forward to your follow up Frank and in the meantime I would still be interested to know if they have completed any of the infrastructure since you invested two and a half years ago…
According to their web site I would say so and from what I saw on my last visit last week yes they have stay tuned.

I had contacted Paragon several years ago and decided against dealing with them due to the talk about lack of completed infrastructure and nightmares in CR about developers starting projects with proposed infrastructure. They sell the lots and then move on. Then you are left with a piece of land with lack of roads, electric, water, septic ect. The legal process in CR makes it near impossible to get anything done about getting ripped off. Watch out for yourselves people because no one else will. Also after researching Paragon they have a bad history in Florida with a nightmare of a development in south Florida called Lehigh Acres. This is one of the most poorly planned communities in the state. If you deal with Paragon or any others in CR watch out for yourself and take everything at face value. If they say there will be roads ect just assume that it may or may not happen. If you still want to roll the dice go ahead but dont be surprised if things dont go the way people tell you they will.
