My wife and I were interested in moving from the United States to Uvita and did not know where to start. It can be overwhelming making such a move, but Alvaro was there the whole time to walk us through the entire process from start to finish. His communication skills were exceptional, and we never had to ask for anything twice. He also took the time to introduce us to many professionals that we needed, even after his job was done. If you are looking for an honest, hard-working agent, Al is the one for you!

Working with Alvaro was an outstanding experience. From the start, he was incredibly informative without ever being pushy. He took the time to patiently answer all my questions and went above and beyond to make sure I had all the information I needed. Alvaro even connected me with a fantastic builder, which made the whole process seamless. I'm beyond happy with the service he provided and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a real estate agent who truly cares.

Costa Rica has long been a retirement destination for me. Before coming to see any properties, I spent a few years looking online. Many looked good, but I had to see them in person and live nearby to really know if they were right for me. I had 2 agents looking in the area I wanted. There were 11 properties that I saw between the 2 agents. And of the two I wanted most, both were offered by Alvaro. He was there to help. And now, since May 2025, I live in a beautiful home in Ojochal, Costa Rica.

Three years ago, I was looking for a small piece of property in Ojochal. I explained to him what I was looking for, and my budget, and the first property that Alvaro showed me had everything that I wanted and was within my price range. I made an offer, and it was accepted! This was my first land purchase after living in CR for 10 years, and I couldn't believe how easy it was. Alvaro helped with everything that was included in the purchase process. It was a seamless and easy transaction. I would highly recommend working with Alvaro.

We worked with Jen Harter to buy our dream beach house, and it would not have been possible without her amazing guidance, honesty, and hard work! She found us a killer off-market property and moved quickly to negotiate the right deal for us. Managing this transaction from out of the country would have been very challenging, but Jen helped every step of the way—including connecting us with the right people for accounting, maintenance, property management, and more. We are so happy! Thank you, Jen!

Kelli is nothing short of amazing to work with. She is professional in all her communications and consistently keeps her clients' best interests at heart. As home inspectors, we sometimes encounter agents who dislike our findings and attempt to downplay potential issues just to ensure a deal closes. Kelli has never done that; she understands that our job is to uncover the facts. She wants her clients to know exactly what they are purchasing and is exceptional at navigating negotiations on their behalf. In a competitive market, you need an agent who is truly on your side and will advocate for you. Do yourself a favor and speak with Kelli before hiring an agent. You’ll be glad you did.

In a real estate brokerage industry swamped by informality and opportunistic characters, it’s a breath of fresh air to work with 2Costa Rica Real Estate and Vitaly Balasanov. They are an exception based on their professionalism and industry expertise.

Service and selection! 2Costa Rica gave us both! Both Dina and Scott listened to what we wanted/needed and showed us a great selection of homes that fit the bill. They negotiated well for us, and now we're enjoying the Pura Vida!

My husband and I were looking for an investment property in Costa Rica. Living outside the country and having few contacts in the area, we feel fortunate to have been able to rely heavily on Sarah's knowledge and expertise. From our very first meeting, Sarah gained our trust immediately; she guided us through the entire home-buying process and proved to be a strong partner in helping us achieve our dream of owning a second home in Costa Rica!

We had Ingrid help us find our house in San José. As soon as we arrived, we visited several options that met the requirements, and in just one week, we had already signed the contract. When you arrive at a new place, it is important to be able to count on the help of a person who knows how to understand the needs of the family and to guide you on basic issues about the new city. Ingrid, with her experience, was very supportive of us and will continue to be for new residents coming in the future.

Maria sold our condo in Veranda in Los Sueños. It was the easiest and fastest real estate transaction we have ever experienced! Maria came highly recommended from a personal friend, so I felt comfortable in contracting with her. Maria proved that she was extremely trustworthy. She knows Los Sueños very well and has a lot of resources. I highly recommend Maria for your real estate needs.

Recently, our family made the decision to purchase our dream home in Costa Rica. This was a big leap of faith, and our buying agent, Matt Hogan at 2Costa Rica Real Estate, was there for us every step of the way. He has exceptional knowledge of the area and has all the contacts that were necessary to simplify the process of buying our house. He made us feel like he really cared about our dreams and took the time to understand what we wanted. We could not, and probably would not, have done it without him. Thank you, Matt. We are forever grateful.

I would like to express my experience with Real Estate Agent Vitaly Balasanov. If I had to score Mr. Balasanov on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest, I would score him a 10. He was very prompt and very resourceful in guiding me with my first international real estate buy. He has great judgment with the resources he surrounds himself with to help in the process of buying a property in Costa Rica. Plus, he goes beyond the responsibilities of a real estate agent, in my opinion. If you need an agent, you will be very pleased with Mr. Balasanov’s knowledge and the experience he has to offer.

Thank you so much for everything you have done for me. You went way above and beyond what a realtor does. You have become a great friend, and it has been my privilege to get to know you. I truly appreciate everything! Please stay in touch, and I will try to do the same. Take care.

I met Jenny while trying to close one of the most difficult real estate deals I have ever encountered. Had it not been for her competence, expertise, and—above all—her sensitivity, I would not be the happy owner of a beautiful home today. Dealing with a very complicated seller and a complex property, she consistently went above and beyond to ensure both parties walked away happy. I have continued to work with her ever since and have no doubt that she will be just as dedicated to anyone else.

On our Windstar cruise to Quepos, Costa Rica, we stopped in the 2Costa Rica office. Dina spent over two hours with us providing general information. We never felt rushed or pressure of any kind. After we purchased a home in Manuel Antonio, 2Costa Rica Real Estate continued their great service by advising us on contractors, service people, and utility services. Whenever we had questions, they have always been our 'go-to' people and still are! They are without a doubt the best—not only as realtors but as people in general.

Sara was, by far, the best of the best to work with. Buying a home in another country can be intimidating and confusing, but she guided us through every step with incredible care, professionalism, and patience. From the moment we expressed interest, she was there—always available by phone, answering every question, and truly listening to what we were looking for. She not only found us the perfect home but did so in the exact area we were hoping for. Every time we visited, Sara was right by our side, making us feel confident and supported throughout the entire process. More than just a realtor, Sara became a friend—and honestly, part of our family. Her deep knowledge of the area is unmatched, and her dedication to her clients is truly special. We feel so lucky to have worked with her and would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or invest in the area. She is simply amazing.

When we decided to move to Costa Rica, we knew we would need an expert’s help to determine the best location. Although we were familiar with the country, we weren't aware of the nuances of the different towns and locales. Luckily, a trusted acquaintance referred us to Kelli Ricco of 2Costa Rica Real Estate, who skillfully led us through the entire process. When we began working with Kelli, we had a list of 'must-have' prerequisites for our forever home, as well as several additional 'wants.' Initially, we weren’t sure we could find a residence that checked every box, but Kelli quickly helped us focus on the possibilities. She helped us prioritize our needs and set a solid goal for our search. Then the fun really began! Kelli took us on tours of gorgeous properties in the area we chose as our home. Not only did she show us everything on our list, but she also exposed us to many features we hadn't even considered. Throughout the journey, her incredible energy and positive attitude never wavered. Kelli brings a wealth of knowledge regarding both the real estate market and the nuances of local life. She held our hands, took us on great adventures, and ultimately led us to the most perfect forever home we could imagine! Working with Kelli was a total pleasure from start to finish; the support she provided made the process much easier than we ever expected. We were lucky to find Kelli as an agent, but we are truly blessed to have found such a great friend.

After a disappointing experience with another agency, Kelli and her colleague, Melsen Araya, helped us find our perfect property match in a tight market and on a tight budget. Both Kelli and Melsen went above and beyond in terms of service, communication, and proactiveness—particularly considering the hurdles we encountered during the closing process. Thank you both so much for your dedication and professionalism!

He was straightforward and pinned down exactly what we were looking for based on our wish list. Matt also replied to messages and phone calls very quickly, helping us evaluate our options efficiently. After meeting his wife, we instantly felt like family and a part of the community. We are so thankful to have found Matt and the house of our dreams! We will certainly continue working with him on future investments and projects in this beautiful area. Thanks again, Matt—it was awesome working with you!

I cannot thank Jen enough for helping my husband and me find our dream home in Santa Teresa. Buying property in a foreign country can be daunting, but Jen made the experience incredibly easy and straightforward. She was exceptionally honest and direct, flagging potential risks along the way and always ensuring we felt she had our best interests at heart. From our first few encounters, we trusted her implicitly. She was extremely transparent in her assessments of the properties she showed us and stayed attentive to our needs, saving us a significant amount of time and energy. Our search took just under six months, during which we had the joy of getting to know Jen personally. She made us feel welcome in the community and was always on hand to answer questions about life in Santa Teresa and Costa Rica. When we finally found our dream property, she managed everything quickly and efficiently—with no stressful negotiations or bidding wars. Having worked with real estate agents in both France and the US, this was a wonderful surprise. We feel incredibly lucky to have met Jen and would unequivocally recommend her to anyone looking for property!

I was referred to Dina Tochluk of 2Costa Rica Real Estate Papagayo. From day one, things went smoothly. Dina, during the entire sales process, became my go-to for almost everything. She found me the exact properties I had in mind to look at and told me all the pros and cons of each property and town. Dina stepped in when I had unanswered questions from the attorney’s office, talked me through Costa Rica’s rigorous escrow requirements, set me up with a house manager after closing, and basically did way, way more than any real estate person I had ever been involved with—and I’ve dealt with quite a few. Without Dina specifically, I’m not sure this deal would have ever made it to the finish line. Her dedication to me as a client and to her profession as a whole is nothing like I’ve witnessed in almost any business. There was never a call or text that wasn’t returned; Dina’s been there from 7 AM until 9 PM. I wouldn't recommend anyone else. Dina is a credit to her industry. If I could find as dedicated a workforce in my job, I’d be in a good place.

When I arrived in Santa Teresa, it was hard to figure out where all of the nice properties were, with all of the dirt roads leading off into the unknown, across rivers and up remarkably steep and treacherous roads. Slowly, over three months and three visits, I browsed the web, met with realtors, and spoke with the locals to try to figure it all out. I was amazed to find so many amazing properties, hidden away and mostly impossible to find without an owner coming down on a quad to lead you there. I spoke to everyone, gave my brief (I knew exactly what I was looking for and why), and saw dozens of cool places, but none were really what I was looking for. Then I met Josie Green from Langston Realty on the last day of my last visit. She listened carefully to what I had to say and said that she had three properties that may be of interest to me. I said 'OK, let's go and see them,' without really having much hope left. The first place she took me to, within an hour of meeting her, was The Green Rooms. In the first five minutes, as we were walking behind the owner, I got her attention and whispered 'sold' to her. That wasn't the end. We had a complicated closing and it took almost a year, but Josie was with me every step of the way. I can honestly say that Josie is the most helpful, kind, and professional realtor that I have ever met.

We had a complicated closing and it took almost a year, but Josie was with me every step of the way. I can honestly say that Josie is the most helpful, kind, and professional realtor that I have ever met.

My wife and I have been in pursuit of purchasing property in CR ever since we visited seven years ago. We recently had the opportunity to work with Cynthia in the purchase of our dream home! Cynthia was fantastic to work with in every aspect of the process. She answered every question we had and was extremely knowledgeable about the whole process! I would highly recommend Cynthia’s services!

We live in the U.S. and began thinking about purchasing a property in Costa Rica last fall. We were worried because we were only able to visit over the Christmas holidays, a time when many properties are not available to be shown. However, we were referred to Priscilla, and she was absolutely amazing. Despite the challenges presented by the timing of our visit, Priscilla was able to schedule many appointments for us to see a wide range of properties, including one that we fell in love with. Since we were not familiar with how to bid on or purchase property in Costa Rica, Priscilla guided us through every step of the process. We just completed the purchase and couldn't be happier. Priscilla has been everything we could have hoped for and more in a real estate agent!

We just wanted to say thank you for getting the house sold and for all of your help in the process. We really appreciate it!

Working with Scott Cutter is less like 'working' and more like having a coffee with a friend. He is the master at building long-term relationships. My home, Casa Tranquila in Manuel Antonio, was recently sold for the third time (in 15 years) by Scott. The entire time I was her owner, he was always happy to assist me with any and every challenge I had in Manuel Antonio, whether it was related to the villa or not. Scott and his team stay by your side and consider their effort a pleasure and an investment; they wrote the book on 'paying it forward'. Equally as important, as your friend, Scott does not hesitate to double as your armchair therapist during the sales process. There were times I would have ruined my own sale over minutia, but Scott encourages you to keep your eye on the prize of a successful transaction. Amidst my pouting, power-positioning, and tantrums (as all real estate negotiations have), he calmly and expertly steered back to my desired result. In Costa Rica, where every waiter, housekeeper, and taxi driver doubles as a real estate agent, Scott and 2Costa Rica bring a welcome definition to professionalism. When I first came to Costa Rica in 2004, I went through four agencies before meeting Scott. Save a lot of your time and frustration: engage 2Costa Rica now.

Can I just say how much we loved working with Cynthia? We had viewed properties with another agent and came away not especially convinced that they understood what we were looking for, and were nervous our trip would be wasted. That changed when Cynthia had her turn. We were able to view quite a few properties in one day, most of which were legit good options. She’s sweet, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!

Working with Jen Harter and Langston Realty was one of the best professional experiences I have ever had. It is no overstatement to say that we would not have been able to purchase our Costa Rica property without Jen’s dedication and exceptional expertise. Acquiring property—especially beachfront—in Costa Rica is a significantly more complex experience than it is in the U.S. Jen skillfully navigated us through a six-month negotiation and due-diligence process. Langston Realty was also able to recommend an excellent lawyer to assist with the intricate legal details involved. By the end of the process, it truly felt like we had a team of professionals who were deeply plugged into the local community and government working on our behalf. The communication was constant, the advice was essential, and Jen provided solutions to every challenge we encountered. I have never before felt like a realtor was underpaid, but the sheer amount of work Jen did for us far exceeded her commission.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Cynthia to sell our house, and we couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. Not only did she sell our house quickly, but she was also incredibly organized and professional throughout the process. Her communication was excellent, keeping us informed and promptly addressing all our questions and concerns. We highly recommend working with Cynthia to anyone looking to sell or buy their home; her dedication and expertise made our experience wonderful.

Dina and her team at 2Costa Rica Real Estate did a great job of finding the place we wanted and guiding us through every step of the process to make it as simple and painless as possible. She listened to our likes and dislikes and showed us many properties within those parameters. She did it all with a great attitude and made it fun.

Matt is as professional as they come. He is kind, measured, and determined to ensure both sides of a transaction are satisfied, no matter the obstacles. I know this firsthand because we started on a completely different page from our buyers; however, in no time, Matt executed the 'magic' necessary to close a deal that initially looked very unlikely to happen. We were delighted with the outcome. Matt was there with us every step of the way—always responsive, providing highly knowledgeable insights with a friendly attitude. He simply will not rest until the deal is done. Thank you, Matt! We couldn’t recommend you more highly.

Scott Cutter is a Godsend. He was recommended to us by a trusted friend, and we are so fortunate to have found him. We communicated with him before our house-hunting trip, and he asked all the right questions. He definitely understood what we were looking for and showed us when we arrived.

When my wife and I decided to hire Kelli Ricco to help us find our forever home in Playas del Coco, we were immediately impressed. She took the time to truly get to know us and understood exactly what we were looking for. Since we were purchasing from Toronto, she conducted numerous virtual tours of different properties on our behalf. My wife and I are both personal trainers, and having that in common with Kelli made us feel like we were talking to a friend rather than just another agent. We cannot express enough gratitude for her hard work; we truly feel indebted to her. We would not hesitate to recommend Kelli to anyone looking for their perfect home!

Priscilla was a pleasure to work with. She answered all my questions in a timely manner, and the closing was completed without any issues. Her personality is warm and accommodating; she even continued to show the property while there was a potential buyer to ensure the best outcome. I would use her services again without question.

Estoy muy feliz y satisfecha con el proceso de venta de mi lote a través de Andrea! Siento que en todo momento veló tanto por mis intereses como por los del comprador, buscando un win-win para ambos; eso es difícil de encontrar. Su nivel de profesionalismo y trato cordial me dio tranquilidad durante todo el proceso. Gracias, Andrea!

I can't say enough wonderful things about 2Costa Rica Real Estate. My family and I decided to look for a property in Costa Rica in 2009. I called 2Costa Rica and was put in touch with Scott Williams, who was extremely knowledgeable about the market and, most importantly for us, what the rental market trends were.

Matt came highly recommended by a friend, and I must say he more than lived up to his reputation. From our very first email interaction, I knew it was going to be a positive experience. I shared with Matt that for me, buying property in Costa Rica couldn't just be a transaction of information and money; I needed to build a relationship with the person helping me make one of the largest investments of my life. We met at a local restaurant in Uvita, and little did I know I was about to make a nine-year dream come true. Matt spent eight hours over two days taking me to every road and corner in Uvita, truly getting to know me and my vision for the property. Lo and behold, he showed me the perfect spot—a stunning view surrounded by lush jungle. From the moment I showed interest, Matt provided unwavering support: navigating due diligence, finding trustworthy legal services, assisting with research for my business plan, and providing construction contacts. It was a truly customer-focused experience. As a foreigner, I felt completely informed and confident in my international purchase. One of my favorite things about Matt is his passion for development projects that respect and maintain the beauty and wildlife of this magical place. I would recommend Matt over and over again, and I truly thank him for helping me make my dreams come true.
