We have heard through the grapevine that celebrities Spencer Pratt of "The Hills" and his wife Heidi Montag are thinking about moving to Costa Rica. This is the second time in the last month, this jewel in Central America has been in the spotlight for celebrities looking for peace and relaxation. A few weeks ago, Rush Limbaugh claimed he would move to Costa Rica if Obama’s health care passed.
Rush’s enthusiasm for Costa Rica was short lived as he "clarified" his comments the next day, saying he would not and he was using an expression. What he was referring to was the high quality of healthcare you receive here in Costa Rica. If you have to pay out of your own pockets, there is no other place better for US citizens than Costa Rica. Low cost and high quality, US trained doctors plus the low cost of living has lured thousands of patients here. The majority of them end up looking for real estate as they wait out their recovery period in the beautiful tropics of Costa Rica.
Lisle Head of Coldwell Banker Jaco, has seen a swelling of interested buyers who initially came to Costa Rica to have dental work or going under the knife for other cosmetic procedures. Lisle said "Whatever the reason for coming to Costa Rica, most people who get here really do not want to go back home. The reality is we all must work and get back to the job but there are plenty of buyers who are financially capable of staying here." "What is important about these buyers is that they need to do their homework and take the time to visit the properties, instead of impulsively giving a deposit to a real estate agent for XX property." says Lisle. Lisle adds "I personally have helped many buyers get out of bad deals and some who simply lost their deposits and all of this could have been avoided if they would contact a reputable real estate broker that has happy clients. For example, we will not even talk to a developer or list their properties if our clients cannot visit the project.
Something as simple as this is a red flag if they developer says "no." Our office not only has professional career real estate agents but we are held accountable by the Coldwell Banker corporate for ethical conduct. This is important to would be buyers since they have other avenues of recourse for improper or misleading transactions."
Coldwell Banker Jaco has served hundreds of buyers from the United States and Canada without any problems. When the local project from Wyndham was being sold, we began getting our clients out of the project before the corporation decided to close up shop and await for another day. The point is that Lisle Head was looking out for his clients interests first and foremost. Many of the buyers who got their money back ended up flipping those into other projects. The idea of quality and professional service is put to practice each day at Coldwell Banker in Jaco Costa Rica. The evidence can be seen by the large amount of client testimonials and by the sheer number of buyers wanting to invest with Lisle as a partner.
So what we suggest for the two young celebrities is to call Lisle Head here in Jaco Costa Rica and ask him to help you with your interest in buying property in Costa Rica. He will not only save you lots of time by avoiding bottomless projects, he will help you move into a home of your dreams without title problems. Plus, with Lisle Head’s reputation, you can count on him to be discrete about the location of the lovebirds nest.
