Looking for a real estate broker. Any suggestions?
Betsy B. replied:
Roberto Muggli at atenasbestclimate.com is the best and the only totally honest and trustworthy realtor here. It's a ReMax office, so they follow Americanized policy...very important here as there are no rules in the field.

Coldwell Banker is very good.

Andy, I have dealt with MANY realtors in the Atenas/Grecia area and my personal experience is that Remax is the best operation out here. Coming in Second was Coldwell Banker. So, no, paying a franchise fee guarantees nothing, but it does up the chances of a litlte more integrity. Honor among LCB's if you will.

Judy B. replied:
A webiste called QuePasaGrecia.com has rentals listed. Atenas is a bit more expensive than Grecia, but depending what kind of house you are looking for, you can find a house for anywhere from $500.00 a month to $800.00 and above. You can find some american style houses, and less expensive, rico style houses.

For Playa del Coco, there is only one person to see and that is Michael Simons of REMAX. http://www.remax-tresamigos-cr.com/ He showed us around for a day. We were doing exactly like you are planning; visiting several areas. Based on Michael's recommendations, we ended up buying in Playa del Coco. Check out his newsletter. He also introduced us to his colleague and out friend, Simon James, who you can ask for as well. http://www.tanktopsflipflops.com/peninsula-papagayo-sells/ One thing I should warn you about. Our trip was also supposed to be a recon visit just to figure out what area we wanted to buy in when we came back on our next trip. After we left Playa del Coco, we continued on the remainder of our trip visiting other parts of the country. We got about halfway through the trip and said this is crazy. We loved Playa del Coco, so we turned around and went back and put a deposit on a place. We closed 2 months later and are very happy with our decision. Bottom line - be prepared for your recon trip to turn into a buying trip.

While there are some good realtors around CR, there are only a few who live and work in Atenas all day everyday. Isabelle Jones, 8838-4683 - Roberto Muggli, 8721-8954 and Dennis Easters, 8854-7721. They are all trusted professionals who know every square meter of Atenas

Loek Van Mook - highly recommend. Great guy & very responsive.
Harry H. replied:
A REALTOR is a member of the National Association of REALTORS. In CR, people sell and rent property and call themselves things they are not. Many are Gringos who ran out of money and are desperately trying to make a buck. Some you can trust. Be careful of the common practice where the Tico agrees to sell their property for $50K. The "REALTOR" lists it for $75K, you buy it for $75K and the Tico gets $50K And also has to pay a commission. If the "Realtor" keeps you from discussions with the Tico seller, watch out.

Interestingly and disappointingly, yesterday I spent over 2 hours putting the ad (one in English the other in Spanish) on olx.com in CR. They kept being rejected so I emailed them and they told me it was because they could see I was situated outside CR at the time (probably could see the location of my IP address or something else technical). Man!
I am looking for a good realtor that knows the area around atenas, grecia, san ramon.
Peggy S. replied:
I would not hesitate to recommend Pure Life Development. They have been amazing. The best & quickest contact with them is to e-mail Dennis Easters at easters3@msn.com. His partner is Gerardo, who is a Tico. Dennis is originally from Florida. They are honest, professional and truly care about their clients. They actually live in the area that they service and specialize in properties in the Atenas & Grecia areas. Let them know that I recommended you. Hope this helps.
