We want to move to Punta Uva area from Canada

[eagle]

Hi there we are new posties…..we travelled to CR a few years ago and loved the east coast with a passion. We would like to purchase property there however we do not know who to deal with or how to even start. We would love beachfront but are very nervous about concession properties. Yet we realise that it is important to get in touch with the RIGHT PEOPLE. Privately purchasing and some hand holding would be the way to go. We would love to have a small B&B or cabinas~. Anyone that can offer some information or knows someone that can help on the east coast that is trustworthy please let us know.

thanks Joe and Claudia

If it’s the southern Caribbean your interested in, try the following web site http://www.caribesur-realestate.com/. I’ve done business with them and they are good honest people. They also have the most properties listed in the area. Hopefully I’ll be moving down there this year. Good luck in your search.

Hello, I have some friends that were actually born in the area some 30 years ago, when there was no electricity or anything. They are what we consider natives, and some of them still own land out there. One thing to watch is the following, years ago sales were not formalized, people would just hand people money and move in, many of these properties are still in the original owner´s name which is a problem if you wish to buy from the current owner. You should really look into this before making any type of commitment. Other than that the area is just awesome, I usually walk from Puerto Viejo to Punta Uva through the beach, which takes me a couple of hours and a little part safari through the mountain, and its always so rewarding to get there. Some old friends from Guapiles own land at the top of the hills there, the view is just AWESOME.

Hola Joe and Claudia,

I have just returned from Cocles, were we have purchased a house.
I agree with you that the Caribe side is awesome. I would also
recommend Caribe Sur, in particular Charlie Wagoner (an American
expat, who has lived there for 8 years, and understands the Real estate/history/community of the area). Super nice guy and very
professional, and knows where the deals are. We were very satisfied
with Charlie.
