If you are searching for Costa Rica property for vacation, retirement, or as simply a safe investment in the turbulent monetary times we are in, our Costa Rican friends in the real estate business will be happy to provide a no cost tour of their available properties in our area. These include single family residences, lots, farms, or raw properties. Many are in our local area, and some an hour or so drive. They have been in the general area all their lives, are honest and trustworthy with many references. We were also in the real estate business for a few years and are familiar with properties and values, but decided to concentrate on our rental properties and leave the real estate business to our associates and friends. We are always however happy to assist those staying in our villas with information and assistance as necessary on purchasing property and living in Costa Rica.
