buyers agent

What I can do for you

I can help you to successfully locate and acquire the correct property for your desired usage. I will assist in the negotiations to obtain the best deal possible for you and recommend reputable lawyers that have been proven to be honest, reliable and thorough.

I've had extensive experience in buying and selling properties, in construction and in dealing with lawyers, permits and government institutions.

I am an honest and straightforward person who will guide you through the whole process of buying land in Costa Rica, and can help you get started with your project.

A little history:

I'm Costa Rican, 52 yrs old, an artist and entrepeneur.

In 1985 I went to the Osa Peninsula as a pioneer with my husband at the time. We built and established the first eco lodge on the Osa Peninsula, at a time when there were no bridges and the roads were sometimes impassable. We run Bosque del Cabo together for some years.

During that time I acted as a buyer's agent for guests who became friends and eventually wanted to buy land in the area. I went up and down the mountains by horse countless times looking at big tracts of land, secured deals on the spot, worked out the negotiations and helped some land owners start the titling process for their land.

In the year 1997 I created a community on 130 acres of land, set up water and solar systems, built 5 houses and planted the land for sustainability.

In the year 2000 I bought a property in the town of Puerto Jimenez, Osa Peninsula, built a commercial building with 4 apartments, a restaurant and 4 frontal shops, which I still own.

In 2002 I acquired a property with a hotel in Arenal, renovated it and built a house. Four years later I sold the property in Arenal and moved back to San Jose. In 2007 I bought a house in Escazu, remodeled it and added the B&B and Art Studio Tierra Magica which I currently own and run.

I also do artistic floors, wall decoration and devote my free time to art.




If you need to stay overnight in San José,
