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 Lifestyle 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.
