Property Sellers have a lot to consider – and it is not just about the norms, rules and regulations around selling a property in Costa Rica. There are SO many considerations and tasks, each carrying a heavy impact in time, cost, or ease of negotiation, and eventual success or failure of a property sale.

For example, if you are not here, is it advisable to secure renters while your property is undergoing a sale process? Do you know how to prepare a house for a showing? Even seemingly small details can make a HUGE difference in the impression your home makes on potential buyers. Do you fix small issues like leaks and cracks or record them so their rectification can be subject to negotiation or pricing?

Are you aware of the time and costs involved in various surveys and inspections? And your responsibilities, like keeping a clear fence line around your property?

Costa Rica presents a very mature and well-regulated set of real estate statues which are enforced by trained and capable individuals – lawyers & attorneys, surveyors, engineers, inspectors, and real estate agents all do their part. During the process of a sale, you should expect to engage with each of these professionals.
