Information should not be substituted for legal, financial, or tax advise.  Any and all financial or legal decisions and actions must be done through the advise of a qualified attorney, financial advisor, and/or CPA.  We cannot be held responsible for actions you may take without proper financial, legal, or tax advise. We urge to use caution when making real estate purchases, and consult reputable legal counsel and investigate thoroughly all aspects before entering into a contract.  Coastal land within fifty meters of the high tide line is open to the public, and construction on the next one hundred fifty meters inland is possible only with the approval of the local municipality among other issues.

Described properties, projects or transactions, etc. are subject to prior sale, change or withdrawal without prior notice.  Information herein give is deemed to be accurate and from reliable sources, however, the listing and/or selling broker(s) do not warrant such information. All measurements are approximate and buyers are advised to confirm such on his/her own.   We do not warrant the value of this investment and buyers are hereby advised to make such determination after consulting with business, legal and financial counselors.

Purchasing Real Estate must be performed following complete and applicable "due diligences" processes and any transaction have to be done according to the Real Estate Regulations of the Country or area where it is related to.. 

Some transactions, specially in concession areas,  tourism areas, maritime zone or high environmental  impact  or biological protected areas must require previous Municipal, specialized government offices or   Tourism Board authorizations and a qualified lawyer have to perform a detailed examination of the property to be negotiated to grant that the transaction will follow the legal rules in Costa Rica.   Costa Rica is a country dedicated to the Nature protection so what can be usual in other countries might not be allowed here and will need the authorization even of Ministries like MINAE  and Enviromental Agencies like SETENA, etc.  which can affect any real estate transaction so we strongly advice to ask the proper government offices if any restriction is applicable to any project or development  before any decision is made.

Every case has to be checked individually and not general rules might apply to all the properties.  It is not our intent to cover all the process involved in every property listed or presented but we also provide a lot of helpful information for the seller and buyers to facilitate the understanding of the right  real estate acquiring  process.

We recommend some law firms for transactions but we are not responsible in any way of their actions.  Also we strongly suggest escrow and title insurance services  from reputable companies with experience in the country to complete transactions.
