When I founded Blue Zone Realty International™, I wanted to build a company that was larger than me. My dream was to create systems that would far exceed our clients’ expectations, and to create an environment that would inspire agents to go further and to be the best versions of themselves. It was never my intention to be just another real estate agency, it has always been my focus to create the best real estate agency in Costa Rica. My vision was to create a company that was proudly independent, with sound local roots and unmatched expertise, but also a company with a remarkable global reach.

Through our unwavering dedication to excellence, coupled with our association with world-class organizations like Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, Blue Zone Realty International™ has been recognized as the “Best Real Estate Agency, Costa Rica” for the past three consecutive years by the prestigious International Property Awards, the “Best Luxury Real Estate Agency” by Luxury Lifestyle Awards, the “Most Outstanding Luxury Broker” by Lux Life, as well as many other awards and recognitions. We are also members of the “Global Alliance Club” with Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, which is a distinctive recognition granted to offices for successfully closing incoming referrals from our network of more than 70 countries. I like to say that documentation beats conversation, and these awards are just further confirmation that our team continues to thrive in this competitive marketplace. Awards and accolades aside, the highest form of flattery is a referral, and the professional agents at Blue Zone Realty International™ are very proud of all of the personal referrals that we receive from clients who we have represented in the past.

b l u e zo n e r e a l t y. c o m

I would like to personally thank the incredible team of agents and support staff who continue to dedicate themselves to making sure that Blue Zone Realty International™ remains the finest real estate agency in Costa Rica. Without you, the dream would have remained a dream, but because of you, the dream has become an outstanding reality.

To our clients past, present, and future, I promise you that Blue Zone Realty International™ will continue to provide outstanding personalized service, open communication, attention to detail, and proven results. I am truly humbled to have the chance to earn your business.

Sincerely,

Tim Fenton PRESIDENT

An exceptional team is, in part, only as good as its weakest link. And it is without a shadow of a doubt that there are no such links in the Blue Zone Realty International™ team. However, high-functioning teams aren’t only about the individual but are also a result of chemistry. We are excited for you to experience the unique and powerful chemistry we have curated in support of helping you create the dream life you have always wanted.

Welcome to Paradise, Welcome to Castillo del Sol This Mediterranean style estate property is, in a word, stunning. Situated on approximately 10 acres of private, lush yet well-manicured terrain, Castillo Del Sol is an absolute masterpiece.

The grounds are accessible only through an ornamental iron gate which offers ultimate privacy and security. The double-wide concrete drive meanders past the managers home and beyond the private helipad to the impressive entrance of the main home. The large circular driveway offers easy access to the 3-bay garage, and to the artfully grand entrance to the estate.

The doorway is framed in tall, custom, iron doors which lead into the high open-air corridors which separate the two wings of the home. These rich hallways are professionally acid stained and ordained with tropical plants, river stone, accent lighting, and natural art pieces that will leave your guests in awe.

After your meal, you can step into the games and entertainment rooms. The games room has been tastefully designed to include pub seating along the walls, and a custom billiards table. Enjoy a game of pool, or slip into the music and media room where you will find comfortable seating, and a baby grand piano.

Gorgeous mountain and ocean views are the backdrop to the multilevel outdoor living and entertaining spaces. The upper pool bar boasts a waterfall and swim up seating. This level of the home includes a dedicated bar with fun and relaxing swings, a large pool with grotto, a full kitchen, a 26foot custom made Guanacaste table, a large smoker as well as a stainlesssteel grill, hand-made furniture, and a custom designed gas fire pit which stretches 6 feet long and 3 feet wide. The upper pool has a channel which

cascades through the patio, and waterfalls down into the 2nd level pool.

This pool is deep and has built in seating for guests to enjoy while having a cold beverage and discussing the adventures had that day. The deep waterfall pool then spills over into the channel that connects the third level beach entry pool. Here, surrounded by nature, guests will relax on the custom teak patio loungers and dream about what is to come. This third level also has dreamy hammocks that gently sway in the breeze in the nook that is decorated with a tropical green wall.

What drew you to the Real Estate industry?

Years ago I enjoyed searching listings and finding the perfect home to flip. Then I’d call my Realtor to write it up. When I “retired” to Costa Rica I met some Blue Zone Realty International™ team members and was hooked!

Why did you decide to work with Blue Zone Realty International™?

After talking with a couple people on the team I felt it was the best fit. I liked that the team was not all one particular personality trait. Various backgrounds can give you a different perspective giving me an opportunity to learn from others and share my own point of view.

b l u e zo n e r e a l t y. c o m

Give us an overview of your experience of the Real Estate market in the last 12 months.

The best ride in the amusement park! I prefer a challenge. Four out of my recent ten deals have been finding properties that are not on the market. It helps being involved in the community and knowing who is contemplating selling.

What are some of the highlights of your Real Estate career in Costa Rica?

Having the New York Times® feature my listing in their Real Estate section. I wasn’t prepared for the volume of calls. They printed my cell phone number in the article! I was receiving calls until 1am each day.

P 10

What advice would you give to someone who is considering an investment in this area?

Ask lots of questions, and be a good listener. It’s important for expat buyers to remember that this is not going to be the same process as “back home”. It’s important to put the client at ease so they feel comfortable to ask questions openly.

Terminology in a contract may be different from what they would be used to. I would rather my clients be completely aware of everything rather than have things come up later in the process that could be challenging for them to navigate.

R e a l E s tat e L i f e & S t y l e C o s ta R i c a

What do you do on a personal level to maintain your edge in this competitive market?

I treat my name, and person, as a brand. It is always possible that you are meeting a future client. Having a supportive husband certainly helps! He is great at meeting with people and sharing stories when I need to recharge.

What should newcomers expect in their first 12 months living in Costa Rica?

For some, challenges will occur. For most paradise! To live in paradise, often newcomers to Costa Rica assume it will be just like home.

Depending how rural an area you choose, it could be a drive to get to services. The first time you try and find a plumber to work on Sunday you will remember that many years ago, Sunday was a time to spend with family. I love meeting up with clients after a few months because most will tell you of their adventures with enthusiasm and joy.

How important is team and broker support for your continued success?

Our senses need a boost every now and then. Having team members and a broker to toss ideas around and ask for an opinion is a valuable resource. A team member may see or hear something you’ve missed, already had an experience that can help you better market a property, and even coach you through a difficult transaction.

Why did you choose to live in the Costa Ballena region of Costa Rica?

I will never forget the first time driving down the coastal road and rounding a curve to see the mountains rising up out of the ocean. Hills of many shades of green, rock outcroppings with waves crashing, and long stretches of beach. We immediately knew this is where we would end up.

What drew you to the Real Estate industry?

After 8 exciting years of my life in the hospitality and tourism industry, I discovered the necessity that a great part of my hotel clients was in finding and buying the right property in Costa Rica. As a Costa Rican, I felt the duty to represent this country with integrity and responsibility and get into the real estate industry to help both sellers and buyers achieve their goals. My background as a hotel and project manager allowed me to build helpful relationships with key community members and also to have a profound understanding of local rules and regulations. My goal every day is to guide and advise all of our clients and friends in the best way possible.

b l u e zo n e r e a l t y. c o m

What is it about your profession that you like the most?

I enjoy and love every single moment of my profession. There are many things I could mention, for example, the interaction with my clients, overcoming challenges with the sales and purchasing process, and meeting new clients. I think life gives us new lessons every day from positive and negative moments and it is the same thing at work. When you love what you do, you enjoy all of it. If I have to pick the thing that I like the most about my profession, I think it would be helping other people to make their dreams come true, guiding them through the process, and advising them after they buy or sell a property.

P 16

Why did you decide to work with Blue Zone Realty International™?

Before deciding to join Blue Zone Realty International™, I had a great experience assisting them in a very important sale. From that moment on, my dream was to work with their great team. I was very impressed with the professionalism and hard work of Tim Fenton and all of his agents.

Even though I had the chance to work with other brokers in the area, I always knew where I wanted to be. I’m very proud to be the second Tico agent and part of the Blue Zone family.

R e a l E s tat e L i f e & S t y l e C o s ta R i c a

What do you enjoy the most about living in Costa Rica?

During my early years as a child I had the opportunity to spend a couple of seasons in the South of Italy working as whitewater rafting guide. It was there when I decided not to live anywhere else on the planet other than Costa Rica. What I enjoy the most about living in Costa Rica is the warmth of my family the people who live here, and the abundance of nature. “Pura Vida” is a lifestyle and for me it means that everything is going to be fine no matter the situation. As a professional whitewater kayaker, I love to enjoy the beautiful rivers and mangrove forest that we have in the Costa Ballena area along the Pacific Coast. My heart belongs to the Costa Ballena region of Costa Rica.

What advice would you give to someone who is considering an investment in this area?

My first advice would be to be patient. Costa Rica is a developing country and that brings with it a unique set of challenges. However, if you have the correct advisors working on your behalf, there should be no reason for concern. The second advice would be to check all the undiscovered areas.

Make sure you find a Realtor who will be willing to get out of the comfort zone and will show you as many different options as possible. 60% of my buyers come with the idea of buying in one specific area but, after seeing different towns in the area, end up buying in another location that they like better. My last advice would be to ask as many questions as possible.

What do you see happening in the next 6 months in this market?

I think the next 6 months will be very important for the real estate industry in our market. I see the market in our area stabilizing a bit due to the lack of inventory. However, the new pre-construction projects will be the new focus that more people will want to buy. Most of our buyers are cash buyers so a lot of people were hesitating whether or not to invest in a property in Costa Rica. I think the new government in Costa Rica, the positive health statistics after the pandemic, the great tourism board job advertising, and the visitor’s rates will put Costa Rica again on potential buyers mind as one of the safest destination to live and invest.

What are some of the highlights of your real estate career in Costa Rica?

My first year in the real estate industry has been a great learning experience.

I have closed deals from $60k to $1.3M. For me every client and every transaction has the same importance. Working with both sellers and buyers at the same has been very interesting. I think I have been an important source for my clients in finding new listings. Half of my transactions are properties that are not in the market yet and half are sought-after Blue Zone Realty International™ exclusives. b l u e zo n e r e a l t y. c o m

What is it about your profession that you enjoy the most.

Being a Costa Rican National I am able to give my clients a very good understanding of what this lifestyle is really like and help them to understand that Costa Rica will be different from what they are used to, in a great way, of course. Costa Rica offers so much joy but often expats can have expectations that the conveniences from back home will be easy to find. I often teach them to be patient and I enjoy seeing my new friends months later getting the most from their new life in paradise!

b l u e zo n e r e a l t y. c o m

What are some of the highlights of your real estate career in Costa Rica?

I would have to say that there are so many moments, that it is hard to chose just one.

When I was young, I never would have imagined the fulfillment I receive in this business. Helping others has given me so much opportunity in life.

To serve and to build a future for my wife and new baby has taught me life lessons that I will use and pass on to others.

P 22

What should newcomers expect in their first 12 months living in Costa Rica?

Costa Rica offers a simple lifestyle and being a part of a community is important to the Costa Rican people. I would suggest that it is helpful to learn some Spanish so they can be a part of the community. They will integrate better and find it easier to navigate their daily life much easier. Then they can really take advantage of relaxing in their new home and enjoy nature and everything else that Costa Rica has to offer.

SENIOR SALES AND MARKETING ASSOCIATE

What drew you to the Real Estate industry?

I had worked in property management and sales for most of my life and had a lot of experience in those areas. I have a friend in this area who is working in Real Estate and she loves it. She thought I would be great at it and that I would enjoy working in the field and she was right, I love it!

What do you do on a personal level to maintain your edge in this competitive market?

I promote myself through various platforms.

I have filmed episodes of House Hunters International and have been on a podcast as well as maintaining a presence on social media.

b l u e zo n e r e a l t y. c o m

What is it about your profession that you like the most?

I love working with people and helping them with their dream of starting a new life in this amazing country. Its fun to share my knowledge of the buying process with them, what to expect when they move, how to manage once they are here and what life is like in this country. I also enjoy helping the people who are selling their home or property as they start a new chapter in their life wherever that may be.

It was a very easy decision. Blue Zone Realty International is the #1 Real Estate company in Costa Rica and we have won many awards to prove it.

What do you enjoy the most about living in Costa Rica?

I love the beauty and nature that surrounds me every day. We have rainforest covered mountains that meet up to the warm blue Pacific Ocean along with a ton of wildlife. We also have fantastic weather. We are so close to the equator that our daily temperatures do not fluctuate much throughout the year. It is peaceful way of life and the people here are wonderful.

Give us an overview of your experience of the Real Estate market in the last 12 months.

The past 12 months have been extremely busy. The market has changed from a buyers market to a sellers market. We have a lower inventory of homes available than we had in the past because many people are discovering that they can work remotely and they are looking for a different way of life versus where they are currently living. People from all different backgrounds and various ages are choosing to move here from all over the world.

Why did you choose to live in the Costa Ballena region of Costa Rica?

I initially moved to the Northern region of Costa Rica and lived close to the border of Nicaragua. I barley spoke Spanish at that time and almost no one in my community spoke English. Needless to say, it was a very tough experience. After traveling all over the country, I visited the Costa Ballena region and fell in love with it. It has a wonderful mix of locals and expats so it is very easy to make friends. We also have a lot of great restaurants with delicious food, many social events and activities and the beauty of the beaches, rainforest, waterfalls and wildlife are really something special.

Janet Chantry SENIOR SALES AND MARKETING ASSOCIATE

What drew you to the Real Estate industry?

Real Estate has always been a passion of mine. At 18 yrs of age I purchased my first home. It began a lifetime love of buying and flipping homes as a hobby to now find myself helping others seek their dreams in a dream location.

What do you do in your personal/off time?

In my free time I’ve found a new hobby of painting. Some have said the energy here allows your creativity to soar and I truly believe it. I’ve only been painting for a year but I will now enjoy for years to come. Also my husband and I have recently joined the Osa Golf Club that is only 10 minutes away. Love the course and the views are amazing. b l u e zo n e r e a l t y. c o m

What do you see happening in the next 6 months in the Real Estate market?

Costa Rica is a very special place to live or invest.

Coming from Canada the people and culture are harmonious to its land. Their is a special magic to our area that once one visits they feel drawn to it. For this reason I feel our market will only continue to progress.

Why did you decide to work with Blue Zone Realty International™?

I’m very fortunate to have been able to enjoy my career with Blue Zone Realty International™. I was one of the original “crew” and have enjoyed 6 yrs in my position receiving the highest elite status within the company.

P 32

What should newcomers expect in their first 12 months living here?

The first 12 months living in Costa Rica can have mixed results for some. There is a learned value of patience and kindness. I always tell my clients it’s like someone has dialed back time to when one would get their gas pumped , help getting groceries in the car, taking a seat in the bank and talking to your neighbor. Waving to everyone as you drive in your car. One takes the time here. For some it’s a plus but unfortunately for others it can be frustrating.

R e a l E s tat e L i f e & S t y l e C o s ta R i c a

What advice would you give to someone who is considering an investment in this area?

My advice is to understand your needs and wants.

This is not a one size fits all and many factors need to be discussed. Is privacy important?

Proximity to the beach? Views? Elevation? I help my clients to discover their needs so the choice when they make it is the right fit.

b l u e zo n e r e a l t y. c o m

What are some of the highlights of your Real Estate career in Costa Rica?

My highlight in my career are the very close friends I have gained in the process. I’ve had more then one client tell me I changed their life. To me that’s a beautiful gift and to know I’ve matched them well. I take pride knowing I’ve helped so many on their journey. I also find I’m a go-to for my clients/ friends well after the sale, which is extremely rewarding to me.

P 33

What do you do on a personal level to maintain your edge in this competitive market?

Honesty, integrity, follow up, and just being there for my clients in my motto. For this reason I enjoy a large referral base from past clients who are now dear friends. I understand that I’m dealing with someone’s biggest investment in most cases and I cater my knowledge so they make the right choice and flourish in this beautiful country.

Why did you decide to work with Blue Zone Realty International?

The reputation that Blue Zone Realty International™ has is second to none, both in the southern zone and internationally. The buzz within our community is all about professionalism, integrity and first class. Who wouldn’t want to be part of that?!

b l u e zo n e r e a l t y. c o m

What do you enjoy the most about living in Costa Rica?

Literally everything! The landscape, beaches, dramatic coast lines, the wildlife, birds, birds and more birds. The people, and I’m especially referring to the Tico’s, they are the warmest and kindest people on the planet. Their sense of community, adventure, and tranquility found here is pure magic. Pura Vida is very much alive and well in Costa Rica.

P 40

What advice would you give to someone who is considering an investment in this area?

Find a good Agent! Costa Rica’s Real Estate market continues to see increases. Inventory remains scarce and tourism has rebounded If your expectations are clear it’s a very sound investment, whether it’s an income property, primary, or secondary residence. A good agent can always provide current market trends, demographic information, and advice on how to navigate any pitfall you may encounter.

What should newcomers expect in their first 12 months living in Costa Rica?

This I am very comfortable commenting on. I am in my second year in Costa Rica and think I can bring a unique perspective to my clients. Yes, it’s a magical place and the primary reason our market is growing at this rapid pace is because everyone wants their own little slice of paradise. However, things move much slower here. It’s part of the charm and part of the challenge. If you can settle into the slower pace having a trip to the bank being your primary outing for the day, experiencing much slower service at our many fine restaurants, and waiting in line at the grocery a little longer because the check-out girl is exchanging pleasantries with one of the locals, all the rest will fall into place. There are a lot of cultural differences here but acclimating to this pace of life adds to the adventure. One key requirement to be embraced here and make life easier in Costa Rica is having exceptional manners. The culture here expects it and is seen as a form of respect. It doesn’t cost a thing but it pays off in the mutual respect of these wonderful people.

I worked as a real estate agent and mortgage broker in Columbus, Ohio. In 1999 the company purchased 1,000 acres of land to develop in Ojochal. The owners offered me the position to open and run the sales office! It was a fabulous opportunity! I have continued to love the southern zone and enjoy all that Costa Rica has to offer!

SENIOR SALES AND MARKETING ASSOCIATE

Why did you decide to work with Blue Zone Realty International™?

Ethics and integrity is everything to me, as well as working in an business environment that truly cares about their clients needs & vision. I bring all my energy and heart to each and every client so it was very important to me to find a company that had the same values. We began our first business when moving here in property management/ rentals welcoming guests who were vacationing from 2006 to 2015. The connection and knowledge from that business is key in helping others when they are not living here full time. Knowing I wanted to transition to real estate, I actually searched for years to find the right fit for me, and finally hit all the checkmarks with Blue Zone Realty International™. b l u e zo n e r e a l t y. c o m

What do you see happening in the next 6 months in this market?

As Costa Rica continues to be a top destination for ex-pats to relocate, it is very important that as a Realtor, to be connected to the community on all levels. Since inventory is lower with so many properties not even reaching the market before they are sold, I work intently to research what is available & coming available and connect to others in the community on a regular basis to be privy to all properties available.

P 48

What do you do in your personal / off time?

When I am not working, I love being on our own property. We have 3 dogs (2 Rhodesian Ridgebacks and an apple-head chihuahua), goats (my husband makes great goat cheese from the milk) and hens for eggs, as well as a greenhouse.

We also enjoy having over or going out with friends and belong to a wonderful beach church.

What should newcomers expect in their first 12 months living in Costa Rica?

The first year in a new country always brings excitement and adventures! Learning and experiencing the tropical lifestyle and about a different culture brings new perspectives and new growth. Enjoying everything that Costa Rica has to offer is a beautiful experience, from the environment, the weather, the food, the pace of life, the people, and the new friendships. Expect also that when you leave one location or culture for another, there will be things you will miss and new things you’ll enjoy and embrace. Give yourself time to notice all of it and adapt at your own pace. Do connect with people as there is a great community here, opportunities to meet people and volunteer on worthwhile projects, and learn a few Spanish words a day. This makes it easier to connect to the wonderful locals that may not speak English or would be more comfortable.

What is it about your profession that you enjoy the most.

My husband and I fell in love with Costa Rica on our first trip here in February of 2001. During this trip we were so convinced Costa Rica was in our future, we bought a condominium in Manuel Antonio Here we visited each year and found ways we could make the transition fully to live and work here. In 2006, we sold our belongings, packed our bags with our energetic Pomeranian in tow, and we departed from Western Canada to start a new life here. I have learned so much about relocating to this beautiful country and living the Pura Vida lifestyle, that I want to share my knowledge and support others that dream of the same tropical life. Having the opportunity and honor to guide my clients in finding not only their ideal property for them but building their ideal lifestyle here for many years to come. The icing on the cake is that those that relocate here become part of this wonderful community and life long friends. b l u e zo n e r e a l t y. c o m

What do you enjoy the most about living in Costa Rica?

Costa Rica is the whole package! The lush gorgeous landscape, the friendly people and welcoming culture, the birds and all the exquisite wildlife, gorgeous landscapes, warm ocean water, the tropical weather all year round, and the availability of healthy fresh food.

What advice would you give to someone who is considering an investment in this area?

Find someone you connect with, who listens first, and takes the time to truly understand your individual and unique needs, desires, and vision.

Take the time for a one on one conversation before you decide to see properties with someone and make sure there is a connection from which to build trust. The investment of time to really find the right agent will result in seeing the right homes and properties as well as the right location, elevation and much more.

There is a lot to consider and your agent needs to understand that you are the expert and ask the right questions.

Commercial Seaside Land in Matapalo Just released, this 170 acre development ready parcel of land next to Matapalo beach (near Dominical).

Uniquely situated between the Inter- Americana highway and Matapalo beach this property spans a large swath of land that can be developed into many different projects. About 1/3 of the land is cleared, level farmland with stances of trees throughout. The other 2/3 is untouched primary forested land rich in wildlife and tropical habitat. The combination of cleared land and forests provides many opportunities to transform the entire area into an eco-style development which could take the form of a community of residences, a golf course resort and country club or a private land reserve with the preservation of the natural animal habitat. Priced very reasonably, this low cost land acquisition by a single or small group of investors could multiply the return on investment in a short period of time. $1,495,000

What drew you to the Real Estate industry?

To me, Real Estate is much more than selling property. A lot goes into a property to transform it into a home. My interest in this field started at a young age. I was always building something.

When it came time for college the choice was easy. My college studies were primarily focused on Business, Real Estate, and building. Everything I have done in my life have incorporated these 3 components. This also gives me very in-depth knowledge of what it takes to transform raw land into a beautiful home. This experience certainly sets me apart from the rest.

What advice would you give to someone who is considering an investment in this area?

Choose an agent that provides you with knowledge and who is following and listening to your dreams and one who is looking out for your best interests and not their own. Also see the country. I did. I traveled almost everywhere you can go. Not all of Costa Rica is the same as I’ve described. Landscape, wildlife, temperatures and even culture vary. For me the area from Manuel Antonio south to Panama (the southern Pacific zone) checks all the boxes. Where the mountains meet the ocean. It has all the best Costa Rica has to offer except a volcano. But don’t take my word for it. Explore!

R e a l E s tat e L i f e & S t y l e C o s ta R i c a

What do you enjoy the most about living in Costa Rica?

For me, the jungle is magical. As a child I dreamed of living in a place like this. I spent my time catching snakes, lizards, and bugs. My dreams included destinations like the Amazon, the Congo, and Kenya, to mention a few. As I became an adult I came to the realization that these places had drawbacks.

Great for vacation but??? Costa Rica is a very unique place on planet earth.

Whether it’s being able to watch 4 species of monkeys from your balcony or counting how many Blue Morpho butterflies I see while driving my son to school. Every day, in itself, is amazing. There is a huge amount of wildlife from Tapirs to Sloths. I’ve seen animals here I never knew existed and more than can be individually mentioned in a short article The jungles here are lush, healthy, and grand. The amazing Cieba tree grows here. It is called the tree of life and what inspired the movie Avatar. These trees are massive and once you have a chance to stand under one you will see why they are called the tree of life. Costa Rica is considered to be one of the most bio-diverse places on earth, on land, in rivers, and in the sea. Because of the mountains it has above the tree line, this small country quickly moves the rains to the ocean with countless waterfalls at every turn. As a result, mosquitoes are seldom seen in our area unless you are in a flat pasture.

Costa Rica does, however, have an abundance of exotic yet harmless insects. The Rhinoceros beetles visit every year and I’m always excited to see them. Again harmless. Many are also undiscovered and the different types available are staggering. Leave the porch light on and check it out in the morning. You will not be disappointed.

As well, Costa Rican people bring out the best in everyone around them.

The laid back attitude and demeanor of the small communities is so relaxed and pleasant that it is a welcome reprieve from the fast-paced life of the concrete jungle and people just start to relax and rejuvenate. These are the reasons why so many people come here on vacation in Costa Rica and never leave. It really is a paradise wonderland.

It has all the best that Costa Rica has to offer except a volcano. But don’t take my word for it. Explore.

What do you do on a personal level to maintain your edge in this competitive market?

Blue Zone Realty International has consistently raised the bar on all fronts in terms of a competitive market edge. This includes the continued expansion in additional countries with unique qualities and opportunities. Strong global advertising is also something unique. This is indirect advertising that educates and opens people’s minds to the endless adventures and opportunities in Costa Rica. So you may be in Dubai, New York, Monaco and you will find yourself reading an article by Blue Zone Reality International™. This type of advertising is healthy for the country as it brings in new interest and new buyers. They may not contact us directly but we are spreading the word about this wonderful country and like-minded people will be drawn here.

What should newcomers expect in their first 12 months living here?

For newcomers, brace yourself for some change. Leave the hustle and bustle behind you. This is Pura Vida. Enjoy relaxing days. Know that the part you ordered will be late with a smile. Know that you have to watch out for sloth crossings and you will have to stop your vehicle, put on your hazard signal, and help him across the road. Know that a tree may block the road or you may not find your favorite condiment at the store. Things move slower here. It’s also the reason people move here and cut the cord.

Zoe Wright

SENIOR SALES AND MARKETING ASSOCIATE

What drew you to the Real Estate industry?

I was enamored with the Uvita area of Costa Rica and when the opportunity was presented to me to start in the Real Estate industry, I was excited about sharing the beauty of the area with others and helping clients establish themselves in Costa Rica.

What is it about your profession that you like the most?

I enjoy the connections that I am able to create with my clients. It is so much more than the process of helping them find a property to purchase or helping them sell their home, it is about helping them feel good about moving onto the next chapter in their lives. b l u e zo n e r e a l t y. c o m

How important is team and broker support for your continued success?

After working in the real estate industry in Costa Rica for 10 years, team support has become an important aspect for me personally.

Working with individuals who are passionate and successful is inspiring, and it motivates me to show up in my best practices and efficiency.

Broker support is a gift. Knowing that I have a broker who supports my own individual growth and success, along with that of the Brokerage, is an invaluable element for me.

P 64

What do you do in your personal / off time?

My personal time is an important aspect to me in order to maintain a balance in my life so I can show up in the best way for my clients. I enjoy recharging in nature with my son, be it at the beach or hiking in the jungle to a local waterfall.

Connecting with locals at community events, which can include giving back and volunteering, as well as enjoying the culinary gems of the area with friends are other favorite pastimes.

R e a l E s tat e L i f e & S t y l e C o s ta R i c a

Why did you decide to work with Blue Zone Realty International™?

I decided to work with Blue Zone Realty International™ because it is made up of a dynamic, professional, and friendly team of individuals who are passionate about what they do and are very successful for this reason. The marketing strategy and community involvement of the brokerage is remarkable.

What advice would you give to someone who is considering an investment in this area?

My advice to someone considering investing here would be to connect with people on the ground who have local experience and a helpful attitude. The process of investing here requires that you have reliable people to support you through the process, addressing your questions and concerns, and who will help you navigate the transition into a different culture and lifestyle.

Maintaining an open mind through the process also a valuable thing as well. b l u e zo n e r e a l t y. c o m

What do you see happening in the next 6 months in this market?

I see the local market maintaining strength as the inventory remains low comparative to the demand which continues to be consistent. Given the variables from abroad I foresee a leveling out in pricing due to purchasers reserving their investments for properties which are within their budget and assessing investments more scrupulously.

What do you do on a personal level to maintain your edge in this competitive market?

I strive to serve my clients transparently and professionally, while honoring their needs along the way. I feel communication is the utmost importance and it is important to me that my clients feel seen and heard.

P 65

What should newcomers expect in their first 12 months living in Costa Rica?

Newcomers can expect that within their first 12 months there will be several items to transition through. Opening a bank account is one of the first items, then familiarizing yourself with the payments related to your property. Purchasing a vehicle and any required items for your home is another. Establishing connections with local service providers, along with familiarizing yourself with local businesses is a process that unfolds over time. Beginning to study Spanish, or taking the time to be involved with one of the local volunteer programs, is another common item which people engage in. Most importantly, settling into the “Pura Vida” mentality of Costa Rica, adjusting to a slower pace of life and pausing along the way to take in all the wonderful reasons why you chose to relocate!
