Malpais
Real Estate
Welcome to Costa Rica, and especially to the
Malpais / Santa
Teresa area, which we think you'll agree is the best place to
live or invest in the country.
We have the most listings of any real estate company in the area, and
will work
very hard not only to find your dream property in the Malpais area, but
to help you through all the steps of buying and then enjoying your
purchase.
The first step is to make sure that you understand what you're buying
and why investing in this part of Costa Rica
is a great
idea. Click here: investing
in Costa Rica to read all about this. We think you'll be
convinced
that investing here is a smart decision.
Second, finding your property. There is no MLS system in Costa Rica, so
each realtor finds their own listings. We have the
most listings of any company in the area, and we also have listings in
the neighboring areas of Montezuma, Manzanillo,
Tambor, and Cabuya. After we meet you, we might recommend one of these
areas instead, depending on what we think will make you happiest.
Malpais is a very special place, so click here: Malpais to read
about Malpais and see if it seems like the place for you.
Third, going through the buying process. In most cases, foreigners have
the same property rights as Costa Ricans, and unlike a
place like Mexico, you can buy titled land which is in your name. You
can purchase title insurance through Stewart Title if you like. There
are plenty of bad lawyers in Costa Rica, but we will recommend a few
great ones who speak English and will make sure everything goes
smoothly for you. Generally, the buying process is much easier in Costa
Rica than in the U.S., Canada, or Europe.
Fourth, enjoying your purchase. We will recommend and provide several
options of excellent architects and builders. Then, when you
are ready to move or rent your place, we will help you with rentals,
property management, or relocating to Costa Rica permanently.

Hotels guide.
In general, Malpais and Santa
Teresa are among the very best places in Costa Rica. Malpais surfing
is among the best in Costa Rica. Santa Teresa was recently awarded by
Trip Advisor as
the #1 highest-rated travel location in ALL of both Central and South
America. Malpais and Montezuma both have many of the best restaurants
in the entire country, since many international chefs have moved to the
area. The area is also a major center of
Costa
Rica Yoga with over a dozen places to learn/practice and many
yoga retreats and surf+yoga retreat
combinations.
