Central Pacific, Costa Rica: Real Estate Tours

Friday, March 2nd, 2012

by Hannah Fletcher, Broker/ Owner of REMAX Oceanside, Jaco Beach Costa Rica

Costa Rica has not been affected by the global financial crisis as profound as in other countries because if it’s historically conservative lending practices. However, there are many foreigners who own property here that have found themselves in financial trouble and need to sell at deeply discounted prices in order to get back on their feet again soon.

It’s a buyer’s market where you have the power to negotiate price, financing and terms in order to get incredible deals. Many purchasers paid cash for their property and are willing to finance a new buyer.

Sample Properties:

Pan Ov in CE L908 Remax Esterillos 2 HFC16 Mar Arena Remax 3

Mountain and Ocean view Lots

Homes: Walk to the Beach

Beachfront Condos:

Starting at $29,500

Starting at $98,000

Starting at $159,000

This beautiful gated community in Esterillos is complete with paved roads, underground electric and water on each individual lot.

Located in a gated community, walking distance to the beach with low monthly fees.

What’s the real estate market like in Jaco?

Saturday, February 25th, 2012

by A Senior in Paradise, Gary Aptaker

Jaco Real Estate From BedroomI’ve been answering a lot of questions in my blog about Jaco, Costa Rica, but haven’t yet answered the most frequently asked question of all….”what’s the real estate market like in Jaco?”.  First of all, we’ve been blessed by not having a lot of “over-mortgaged” properties and foreclosures here in the Jaco Beach area.  Secondly, as buyers have come to realize, the global economic meltdown has had a lesser effect here in Costa Rica than in lots of other places.  They are buying now rather than waiting for the prices to rise.  Some sellers have priced their properties rather high, and they will wait for an unknowledgeable buyer with an unscrupulous real estate agent to pay “above market” prices.  They will probably be on the current market for a long while.

Jaco Real Estate From BalconyPeople walk into our REMAX office every day and ask “where are the hot buys?”, or “what are your fire sale deals?  When sellers are serious, their property usually attracts serious buyers and we schedule a closing date.

Jaco Real Estate From Front DoorCurrently, there are some “great buys” in the Jaco area…from beachfront condos to rainforest retreats to small ranches to typical housing.  We even have a gorgeous estate-like home, that features the most panoramic ocean views I’ve ever seen, and contains just about every amenity necessary for the discriminating buyer.  Bring your toothbrush and your fire extinguisher…this property is “fire sale” priced at $550,000 and comes fully furnished.

Jaco Real Estate From KitchenI’m supposed to be retired, but I love talking to people about this place called Jaco (pronounced hock-O), so contact me if you have additional questions.

Buyers for your listing

REMAX Jaco Beach Costa Rica Connecction

Home | About Us | Buy Property | Sell Property | Contact Us

Dear Seller,
This has been a crazy month but a good one. I apologize for the delay or lack of communication and I wanted to take this opportunity to update you since we have your listing and appreciate business.

For the past 5 years I have been working up to the position I now have with International Living magazine as the preferred broker for the Central Pacific and Central Valley of Costa Rica. The magazine holds “Invest and Live Internationally” conferences every year in San Jose which gives me an opportunity to engage hundreds of potential buyers organize buying tours and feature our listings.

This year’s conference just passed and my last private tour tomorrow so it looks like a I will be able to catch my breath very soon. The conference had a little over 250 attendees. We had group tours including 75 potential buyers and about 10 more that signed up for individual tours. We are already working on five offers and we are just beginning the follow up stage with the other contacts we made. I feel confident we will see many more deals as a result.

I was also invited to join international living in Las Vegas next month (October 6-8) where I will be the only realtor representing Costa Rica. As you can imagine that is a great privilege and opportunity to get your property in front of even more clients.

Please take this opportunity to consider revamping your listing. Here are some suggestions:

1. Make sure your listing price is justified and based on the true market value. (If you don’t want to sell for what the market value it might be better to take you listing off the market for a few months and then renew it later)

2. Review your listing description and pictures. You know your property better than anyone. Brainstorm the features that made you fall in love with the property and make sure they are highlighted. Send us any updates and we will be glad to post them.

3. The extra bit to make your property stand out. Right now we have almost 1000 listing in the central pacific alone. Do a little extra by taking a video yourself talking about the highlights of the property. For example: Tell potential buyers why you fall in love with the property, the area etc. Tell them why you are selling and how sad you are to let such a good property go. Send is the video file and we will use it as a tool to highlight your listings.

We are working hard and investing a lot of time and resources to give your listing the best exposure possible. If you have any questions feel free to contact our office. I will get back to you asap or have Lucy, my life support system in the office address your questions.

Estimado Vendedor,

Este ha sido un mes muy ocupado pero muy bueno. Les ofrezco mis disculpas por el retraso o la falta de comunicación, quisiera aprovechar esta oportunidad para ponerle al día ya que contamos con su listado y apreciamos la oportunidad de ayudarle a venderlo.

Durante los últimos 5 años he estado trabajando y he sido elegida por la revista International Living como la agente preferida para el área Pacífico Central y Valle Central de Costa Rica. La revista “Invierta y Viva el Ámbito Internacional” ofrece conferencias cada año en San José, en la cual tengo la oportunidad de participar con cientos de compradores potenciales, organizando tours de Bienes Raíces teniendo como base las propiedades que tenemos a la venta.

La conferencia de este año acaba de pasar y mi último Tour privado será mañana por lo que parece que pronto seré capaz de recuperar el aliento de nuevo. Esta conferencia tuvo la participación de un poco más de 250 asistentes. Hemos tenido tours con asistencia de 75 compradores potenciales y más de 10 se registraron para viajes individuales privados. Ya estamos trabajando en cinco ofertas y apenas estamos empezando la etapa de seguimiento con el resto de contactos que hemos hecho. Estoy seguro de que veremos más ofertas como resultado.

También he sido invitada a unirme a la próxima Conferencia de International Living en Las Vegas el próximo mes de octubre (del 6 al 8 ) en el cual seré la única agente de Bienes Raíces que represente a Costa Rica. Como podrán imaginarse es un gran privilegio y otra oportunidad más de exponer su propiedad frente a los clientes. Por favor tome esta oportunidad para revisar su listado y realizar algunos cambios de ser necesario. Adjunto algunas sugerencias:

1. Asegúrese de que el precio de su listado este justificado y basado acorde con el verdadero valor del mercado. (Si usted no quiere vender según el valor de este seria mejor que su propiedad este fuera del mercado por algunos meses para luego enlistarla otra vez) 2. Revise la información de su listado y fotografías.Usted conoce su propiedad mejor que nadie. Envíenos sus sugerencias aquellos detalles que Usted considera son esenciales para que los clientes se enamoren de su propiedad y la resalten. Envíenos cualquier actualización y estaremos encantados de hacer los cambios correspondientes. 3. Ese detalle extra para hacer que su propiedad resalte. En este momento tenemos casi 1000 propiedades solamente el Pacífico Central. Tal vez un video cortó personalizado por ustedes sobre los detalles importantes que destacan a su propiedad. Por ejemplo: Contarle a los compradores potenciales el porque usted se enamoro de su propiedad, el área, etc. Decirles por qué usted está vendiendo y lo emotivo que es tener que vender su propiedad. Envíenos el vídeo y lo utilizaremos como una herramienta mas para así resaltar su propiedad. Estamos trabajando duro e invirtiendo una gran cantidad de tiempo y recursos para darle a su listado la mejor exposición posible. Si usted tiene alguna pregunta no dude en ponerse en contacto con nuestra oficina. Estaré en contacto con Usted lo antes posible o pueden contactar a Lucy, mi mano derecha en la oficina para contestar sus preguntas.

Putting a price tag on your property: Pricing is all about supply and demand and it is the most important factor to consider when selling your Costa Rican property. You do not want to overprice it or sell yourself short so here are a few guidelines that will help as you consider what price tag you should put on your condo, house or lot Read more about this article

Comparable Listings and Sales: Investigate similar properties in your area that recently sold. Compare similar square footage, locations (example: Jaco, Hermosa, Esterillos) and features… Read more about this article…

Preparing your home for sale: You can help get the results you want by staging your home. Staging is not about redecorating your entire home. It is about rearranging what you do have and making a few improvements to appeal to more buyers.A staged home will sell, on average, for 17% more than an unstaged home. – U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Read more about this article…

Sellers Handling a Lowball Offer: In today’s market, sellers commonly have to deal with the infamous Lowball offer. The best strategy is to keep emotions out of the mix and “consider it” as a starting point for negotiations. Regardless of what kind of offers you receive, you can’t take it personally. Your motivation is to sell your property and the highest amount the current market will allow for! Start by asking how the offer compares with recent sales. Read more about this article…

Embrace Life,

RE/MAX No. 1 in virtually every way

Thursday, August 18th, 2011

lotsofballoons2

The unmatched competitive advantages of affiliation.  For instance RE/MAX rated: 
 No. 1    • 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.

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,  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 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:

  • Bal15• In unaided awareness, 34% of the consumers mentioned 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 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 . Only Coldwell Banker and Century 21 scored in double digits, and the figure nearly quadrupled the results of Prudential and Keller Williams.

There is plenty more gold within this study ( 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 agent), and our creative team will be developing materials for you to use.

continues to be the best option for the industry’s most capable agents. We are the No. 1 brand in real estate.

to see how you can have the team and Name work for you.
