About Michael
I spent 24 years doing this somewhere else
Sotheby's International Realty and Related Companies in Chicago, representing buyers and developers in one of the most competitive markets in the United States. Then I moved to a country where almost none of it works the same way.
I live here full time now, as a Coldwell Banker Global Luxury broker across the Southern Pacific — Escaleras, Dominical, Uvita and Ojochal, and increasingly on larger estates and titled land on the Osa Peninsula and the Golfo Dulce. I have walked every house on my properties page.

Clients
"Michael has been a real breath of fresh air to work with, as we had sold our home in Guanacaste and were a bit anxious to find our home in the southern zone. He took the time to educate us on the zone and we so appreciate his patience wth us. Once we found several properties he narrowed them down for us and we saw four and selected one of his recommendations only a few days later. We love our new home and cannot recommend him any stronger."
Dan and Jill — Portland, OR"Investing in Costa Rica has its challenges and having an advisor walk you through every step and give solid referrals and attorneys and inspectors seems easy in markets in the US, though here its land mine if you get the wrong person. Every part of our transaction was smooth and we really appreciated his communication throughout our complex deal."
Brian and José Luiz — Brooklyn, NY"We have been working with Michael and we have not found our property yet, however the amount of preparedness for the homes and land we are seeing with him has given us alot of confidence in a market that we thought we knew."

I wrote down the answers
Three long guides, written because these are the conversations I have over and over: how the transaction actually runs, what ownership costs once you are in it, and the three checks — water, access, title — that decide whether a piece of land is worth owning at all. Every figure in them is sourced and dated, because most of what is published about buying here is years out of date.
