Real Estate

Our main area of expertise is Real Estate, our professionals have been successfully advising our clients on their Real Estate ventures for years. Vacational, investment, commercial, development parcels, resorts, club and marina memberships, condominium properties, and beyond, our Real Estate Law practice covers the full spectrum.

Real Estate acquisition and development in Costa Rica is tricky, as it represents a multi-layered (ad)venture with constant governmental interaction. Environmental protection regulation might become an important matter to navigate as well. Our Firm is very active in helping our clients successfully create projects that are born and remain compliant over time, making every investment “worth it”. Our assistance is comprehensive and continuous. We work on a long term vision basis.

Our team will guide you from the brainstorming phase of a Real Estate transaction, through the negotiation phase, contracts, Due Diligence, setting up of local investment vehicles, closing, financing, operating and everything in between. We work hard so you feel it is easy and enjoyable to invest in Costa Rica, and we protect you all the way.

A strong and well-rooted democracy, Costa Rica has become a preferred place to invest in Real Estate and second-home market. Hence, there is an ever-increasing interest in developing prime residential, commercial and office-space, and tourism projects, mainly in the Central Valley area, and in the coastal towns in Guanacaste, Central and South Pacific, and more recently in the Caribbean side.

Most real estate developments in Costa Rica, whether residential, tourist, or commercial, are either organized as a Condominium Association (HOA) or other similar private community concept. Among our most well-recognized assets and practice areas is precisely Condominium Law. Our lawyers are experts in working with developers, especially foreign clients, to materialize functional communities under the condominium property system, that directly speak to future investors and end-buyers. Our services include drafting of custom-made CC&Rs and actual registration of Condominium Declarations and HOAs.

We take Real Estate seriously, and our clients even more. We are here to stay and build long-lasting relationships with our clients. Our clients are special to us, and we make sure they feel as such.
