Letter from the owners PURO VERANO….. The Joys of Summer. This is a time of year in Costa Rica where the full transformation of Costa Rica as a destination is perhaps most evident. Having lived here for 25 years, the days when “summer” which corresponds with Costa Rica’s Green season, meant communities void of any real tourism flow or energy. How times have changed. Costa Rica has become one of the world’s top destinations for families looking for iconic experiences in one the most beautiful and biodiverse environments. With the North American Summer travel season, we also get to celebrate the amazing fusion of cultures which is also such an important part of our love affair with this amazing country. Far from just a places whose natural beauty overwhelms anyone blessed enough to visit, Costa Rica’s warmth and depth of personality is perhaps best appreciated when cultures, traditions and the friendly nature of its people are on display. In July, we celebrate with Ticos and “gringos” alike the 4th of July in one big happy family. Costa Rica’s Independence Day is in september and it is so amazing to see the expats a tourists here during that time honoring CR and its history. The same goes for the 4th of July when BBQ’s and the traditions of the US summer July 4th activities pop up all over Costa Rica. While just one example, it is this fusion, respect, warmth and welcoming nature of the Costa Rican people which is perhaps even more overwhelming to experience than the stunning natural setting. At the end of the month, Costa Rica will have its own celebration for the national holiday for the Anexion de Guanacaste, or moment in history when the important province of Guanacaste, became a part of Costa Rica. Now one of Central America’s hottest tourism and investment destinations, this province was made a part of CR on July 25, 1824. As anyone who has lived here knows. Ticos never miss a good chance for a celebration and the traditions surrounding the Anexion de Guanacaste are some of the most fun all year round. The real estate market in Costa Rica continues to be strong and steady. While rising interest rates in the USA and world have an immediate effect on the absorption rates in markets where the vast majority of sales are financed. Costa Rica’s traditionally cash marketplace has seen much more stable growth trends. This slow growth has made Costa Rica a value on the global market and investors from around the world are seeing Costa Rica as a safe and beautiful place to invest. The incredibly tourism demands is creating great vacation rental income opportunities and Costa Rica’s impeccable reputation and growing popularity is also making for solid equity opportunities for investors. Quite simply, there has never been a more dynamic time to invest in Costa Rica and despite the economic news in the world at large, our real estate market here continues its steady and solid growth.

ICONIC SALES In the real estate world, iconic sales tend to be seen as landmark moments for companies. The lessons that come from these processes are usually what’s mentioned when talking about earning one’s stripes in the industry, and for good measure, as the particular standing of each of the properties deemed iconic requires a differentiated approach. 2CRRE | EXCLUSIVES SHOWCASE
More details | Back to Content
What makes a property iconic has to do with the widespread acknowledgement for distinctive excellence. This can take many forms, from the unique qualities of the construction, going through stunning flourishes in the design, all the way to breathtaking blends of location and amenities. Whatever the defining characteristic of the property, it is something that makes them stand out and draw the attention of interested buyers, neighbors and bystanders, while also boasting a barrier of entry that exalts its innate exclusivity. In an iconic sale both buyers and sellers expect the undivided attention of their agent, making timely communication and patience an unequivocal must in this process. After all, given the status of iconic properties some of the most influential and prominent clients in the industry are immediately attracted. Fulfilling one of these sales implies being ready for anything and avoiding assumptions at all costs, as many times iconic sales have the most unpredictable outcomes. Here at 2Costa Rica Real Estate we see iconic sales as a confirmation of the trust buyers and sellers have in our way of doing things, and a reminder of our own unparalleled expertise and professional standing within the industry. With the successful recent closing of Shangri La, we look back at some of our prestigious deals in the Central Valley:

WHAT ARE THE RULES THAT APPLY TO OWNING PROPERTY ON THE BEACHFRONT IN COSTA RICA? Posted by Josie Green Owning a beachfront property in Costa Rica can be a magical experience - living steps away from the white sand, with the hypnotic sound of the ocean and surrounded by the lush tropical forest that fringes the beach here. If that sounds inviting, you will need to make sure you understand the rules that apply to ownership on the beachfront. Property that is located on the beachfront is governed by Maritime Zone Law of 1977 (La Ley Sobre la Zona Marítimo Terrestre No. 6043). We are providing you here with a very general outline of the rules that apply on the beachfront. It is of course important to consult with a good lawyer, if you do decide that the beachfront is for you.

If one were to ask for a single image that represents the quintessential Costa Rican experience, most would probably describe one of Guanacaste’s many marvelous sights. As one of the main tourist epicenters of Central America, it’s impossible to think of Costa Rica’s economic growth and its current position as a leading tropical destination without the many wonders of its northernmost province, but that’s precisely how things were less than a couple centuries ago. After the first stage of colonization during the earlier part of the 16th century, Central America was divided into a series of townships, kingdoms and provinces that all responded to the central powers of the Spanish Empire. What would eventually become Costa Rica was part of the Captaincy

“One of my favorite parts of July 4th is being able to share a bit of the US culture, foods and fun with all my Costa Rican friends and family! We get to live here, revel in the Costa Rican culture, customs and traditions each day and being able to share some of our traditions here in paradise is so much fun!”

“U.S. holidays can be a little different living in Costa Rica but something I look forward to every year is the 4th of July celebration in the world famous Los Suenos Resort & Marina. The resort opens up the private beach-club gates to the public to celebrate with hotdogs, hamburgers, BBQ ribs, live music, and a great fireworks show. A must do!”
