The Buying Process

Buying Costa Rica real estate is very similar to making a real estate transaction in the United States and it takes about the same amount of time.  The buyer and seller come to agreement on terms, there is a closing period in which financing is arranged and the deal comes to closure upon signing of final papers.  Ownership papers are transferred to the buyer and money is transferred to the seller.

You will need to retain the services of a licensed Costa Rican attorney.  Be sure to secure one who deals with property transactions versus general legal counsel who may not be familiar with real estate transactions.  Expect to pay about 2-3% of the cost of the transaction in legal fees, taxes, property stamps, and closing costs. To be sure you choose the best legal representation, conduct phone interviews.

I have listed the names and email addresses of several attorneys or you can do a basic web search. All those listed speak fluent English.  Much like in the US, legal representation is highly variable in quality. Get references!

Community

Vista del Mar has twelve large properties on 150 acres of total land. The community shares the expense of the road and general maintenance of the entry-way from the main road.  Annual assessments will be made and shared amongst residents.  This will provide for a private reserve style community.

Environmental Commitment

Costa Rica is a beautiful country and has remained so because it is environmentally focused towards preserving the land, ocean and air.  Environmental laws protect what is known as the coastal zone which include all beach and land 200 meters from the high tide line.  As well, all beaches in Costa Rica are public. From time to time you may see a small dwelling near the beach which was built prior to the coastal laws which took effect back in the late 1970s.

CRLT's commitment is to be good stewards to the environment and keep as much of the land as natural forest limiting our impact of deforestation and keeping the picturesque landscape pristine.  It truly is a special place.
