Another fantastic listing! This one is priced amazing at only $575,000, with almost an acre of land and an inspiring house with a 180 degree view.

It is located 30 minutes to La Fortuna and the tourism district, but only 10 minutes to the bustling city of ciudad Quesada where you have banks, hospitals, schools and shopping! Perfect location for a family or investment property.

Contact me for more details!

Back with another fun fact friday!

In Costa Rica, it is common to hear the phrase pura vida (pure life). It can mean many things including hello, goodbye, everything’s cool, same to you, but it NEVER has a negative connotation.

Love the vibes in this beautiful country!

🏡🎉 Another Dream Home Sold in Costa Rica! 🎉🏡

Congratulations to this wonderful couple on the purchase of their beautiful new home in Costa Rica!

They have officially closed on a property where they will be spending part of each year enjoying the incredible Costa Rican lifestyle. Their long-term plan is to make this their full-time retirement home, and I couldn't be happier to have helped them take this exciting step toward that dream.

There is something truly special about helping clients find not just a house, but a place where they can create memories, enjoy new adventures, and build the future they've been envisioning.

Thank you for trusting me to guide you through the process. Wishing you many years of happiness, relaxation, and unforgettable moments in your new Costa Rican home! 🌴☀️🇨🇷

Thinking about buying property in Costa Rica? Whether you're looking for a vacation home, investment property, or your future retirement paradise, I'd be happy to help.

😵‍💫 House Hunting Fatigue is REAL

Scrolling listings…
Seeing the same photos…
“Almost perfect” homes…
And wondering if you’ll ever find the one 😩

Take a breath—you’re not doing it wrong.

Finding the right property (especially in Costa Rica 🌴) takes time, patience, and the right strategy. It’s not about seeing more homes… it’s about seeing the right ones.

That’s where I come in 👇

✨ I help narrow down what actually fits your lifestyle
✨ I coordinate showings (even across different areas)
✨ I take the overwhelm out of the process

Because house hunting shouldn’t feel like a full-time job.

📩 If you’re feeling stuck, frustrated, or just plain over it… message me. Let’s reset and find your place in paradise.

🏡✨ SOLD — and this one was well earned

Not every deal is easy… and this one definitely kept us on our toes 😅

After a lot of back-and-forth, patience, and persistence, we made it to the finish line and successfully closed. These are the kinds of transactions that remind you how important strong communication and problem-solving really are.

A huge thank you to the amazing agent who trusted me with her client and sent this referral my way. Your confidence means everything, and I’m so grateful to have been part of making this a successful experience for everyone involved.

And of course, congratulations to the buyers on their new property here in paradise 🌴

🏡✨ SOLD — and this one was extra special

This beautiful home has officially found its new owner… and here’s the best part—she purchased it without ever seeing it in person.

Buying property in another country can feel overwhelming, but this is exactly where having the right guidance makes all the difference. From virtual showings to navigating the process and smoothing out every bump along the way (even after closing), I was there every step of the journey.

And moments like this mean everything to me 💬
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Receiving a 5-star review from such an amazing client is the biggest reminder of why I love what I do.

Real estate isn’t just about transactions—it’s about trust, communication, and making sure my clients feel confident no matter where they are in the world.

Congratulations to my wonderful client on her new home in paradise 🌴

✨ Another happy client, another step closer to paradise 🌴

Working with amazing people like Tony is exactly why I love what I do! Helping clients explore different areas, compare options, and truly feel confident in their decision is always the goal.

Here’s what Tony had to say:

💬 "Laura was a pleasure to work with during our house hunt. She not only showed us properties in her region, but also coordinated with other realtors and set up showings in other areas. We found many parts of Costa Rica intriguing and wanted to see options. Laura was there to streamline the process. We felt we were in good hands throughout."

This is what it’s all about—making the process smooth, stress-free, and even a little fun along the way 😊
I can’t wait to help more clients find their own piece of paradise!

🌄 SOLD — and this one is something special 🌿

This beautiful piece of land has officially found its new owner… and the vision for it is exactly what Costa Rica is all about.

Imagine this:
🏡 A modest home
⛰️ Overlooking the mountains
🌴 Surrounded by nature, peace, and pura vida

That’s what’s coming next for this property—and I couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead.

It’s not always about big luxury builds… sometimes it’s about creating a simple, intentional life in an incredible setting.

Huge congratulations to the new owner on securing their slice of paradise!
