Sunday, November 20th, 2011CONGRATULATIONS Ken and Hannah!! IT’s amazing, knowing both of you and realizing that you will both be working together… wonderful people both of you!! Doing business with you both is like having family!! not like a pressure salesman we had earlier in our stay.
I know with the melding of Oceanside Realty and REMAX Jaco Beach, people will get what they want. You both listen to what the customer wants and you look at the listings and find the right place for the buyer.

RE/MAX No. 1 in virtually every way
Thursday, August 18th, 2011
The unmatched competitive advantages of RE/MAX affiliation. For instance RE/MAX rated:
• No. 1 in market share.
• No. 1 in agent productivity.
• No. 1 in brand name awareness.
• No. 1 in advertising.
• No. 1 in lead generation.
• No. 1 in professional education.
• No. 1 in the minds of buyers and sellers.
RE/MAX received two awards from J.D. Power and Associates this last July for generating the highest overall satisfaction among buyers and sellers. That’s quite an honor, especially at a time when transactions can be so complex, time-consuming and frustrating for the people involved. The fact that our Sales Associates’ efforts were recognized by both groups of consumers made the achievement doubly impressive.
Just last week, RE/MAX received tremendously positive rates from an extensive consumer survey conducted by Synovate, one of the leading researchers in the field. The results where a reflection of how we rate in the eyes of consumers. In the end it is clear that Brand affiliation matters, consumers know and trust RE/MAX more than any other national franchise, and industry-leading awareness generates additional leads and business for our Associates. That’s powerful stuff, especially these days.
Here are just a few particulars from this survey:
• In unaided awareness, 34% of the consumers mentioned RE/MAX as "top of mind." That number easily beat Century 21 (25%), was triple Coldwell Banker (11%) and was 10 times better than Prudential (4%) and Keller Williams (3%). Overall, 95% of the survey participants were aware of the RE/MAX name. Not to single anyone out, but less than 50% of the consumers even knew Keller Williams existed. - • Similarly, 30% of the consumers recalled seeing or hearing a RE/MAX ad recently, a figure triple that of Century 21 (12%), six times greater than Coldwell Banker (5%), 15 times greater than Prudential (2%) and 30 times greater than Keller Williams (1%).
- • When asked what brand they would most likely consider if buying or selling in the next two years, 28% of the consumers chose RE/MAX. Only Coldwell Banker and Century 21 scored in double digits, and the RE/MAX figure nearly quadrupled the results of Prudential and Keller Williams.
There is plenty more gold within this study (RE/MAX is the brand consumers would most likely recommend to a friend or relative, for instance, and "company image" is the leading reason sellers choose a RE/MAX agent), and our creative team will be developing materials for you to use.
RE/MAX continues to be the best option for the industry’s most capable agents. We are the No. 1 brand in real estate.

Such a spectacular experience

I am sure you will love Costa Rica. I went there for the first time with my husband 5 years ago. We took the organized Caravan tour, 8 days coast to coast. It was great, we liked everything there, the beautiful nature, mountains, oceans, colorful plants and animals. Since that trip we started planning our retirement in Costa Rica. Last March we went to Jaco to look at some properties. First we focussed on visiting the new developments and looking at land to purchase. Before the trip we explored the new developments like Vista Pacifica and Hacienda Matapalo on the Internet and everything sounded promising. But in person it was a different story. It will take another 20 years to develop these areas, what they have on the websites is completely different from what they are selling. After looking for 2 days with high pressure sales representative we decided to change realtor. We also wanted to see existing homes because the development idea was definitely not appealing to us.
We spotted this nice little house close to the ocean. It was a REMAX Jaco real estate listing, so I called her to schedule showing. We met our REMAX agent by the house, she took us inside but we did not like the layout. We asked her if we could see other properties in our price range. She spend two days with us. She is very professional, she knows the market, has a lot of experience and real estate knowledge. She is nice, friendly and patient, a pleasure to spend time with. She helped us to find and purchase the perfect house. She arranged everything to make the closing smooth, even without our presence, we couldn’t attend it. She also has a degree and many years of experience in interior design. I am coming to Costa Rica next week and she will spend with me 4 days helping me to furnish the home, buy appliances and everything we need. We highly recommend working with REMAX and have no doubts that they will help you find your dream house.
Enjoy Costa Rica and good luck-

Selling property in Costa Rica.
Sunday, December 27th, 2009Our REMAX Costa Rica agent was very helpful to my husband and I. She helped us set up our corporations as well as getting us a lawyer we felt we could trust. We have bought a couple pieces of properties from her in the past 5 years. As far as Costa Rica, I love it there. The people are very friendly, and I just love the area around Jaco. I hope I have been of help to you.
Sincerely,
LaQuitta Shipman
I couldn’t be more please with the process
Sunday, December 27th, 2009
Piper represented me in the acquisition of two building lots in Playa Hermosa; I couldn’t be more please with the process and its outcome and I highly recommend her services.
I started searching for a house or building lots in early 2007. We looked at numerous listings prior to settling on the Valle Perdido development. There, we made an offer for a house, but backed off during due diligence. We finally acquired two lots, and are currently in the final stage of design. We hope to break ground in a few months and move in in early 2012.
Throughout the process, Piper has been there for us. She was able to identify potential properties and fit them into compressed schedules during my visits to the Jaco area. She provided color on developments and areas, as well as the legal and commercial aspects of buying a property in Costa Rica. Her services proved even more valuable once we settled on the two lots we eventually bought: negotiations, financing, and references to legal professionals. Once the properties were acquired, Piper continued to assist in the project as we met with architects and builders. She continues to be heavily involved in the project as it moves forward.
