Buying real estate in Costa Rica can be a tricky endeavor. Many people try to scam
buyers, especially those form overseas, by selling them fake properties or property
that the sellers do not own and cannot legally sell. Even if you do find a
legitimate seller, without a real estate agent to arbitrate the buying process you
may not be aware of all the necessary permits, paperwork, fees, and taxes involved
in buying real estate. An honest real estate agent will also help you to get the
best price and will alert you if the property is overpriced. www.cb-jaco.com

deal. Make sure you carefully screen potential real estate agents to make sure they
