Hi everyone,
Thanks for the information. I have read the rest of the forum discussions regarding Ventana and I am feeling very comforted about our purchase. One of the people posting just happened to be going to the Ventana development today as they are building in the same area and has agreed to take some photographs for us, so we are very thankful for this forum.
Just to answer a few of the questions posed in this discussion thread.
My husband and I did travel to costa rica, did look at the property before we purchased and we feel we did do our due diligence to the best of our knowledge, but part of me is still a skeptic sometimes.

My husband will most definitely travel to Costa Rica if we have someone interested in purchasing the land.

Right now travel is not an option for me, so I enlisted the help of a reputable real estate office thinking that was my best shot at selling or getting some interest. I did keep in close contact with them, phoned and emailed but rarely heard back from them and when my listing failed to appear on their website listings I asked why and was never given any response. So, I guess I was just unlucky or they weren’t interested in selling our small block of land even though I agreed to a ridiculous commission.
Forgive me for sounding skeptical, I don’t mean to be, I love Costa Rica and Ventana have been very good to us. Sometimes you just hear the horror stories and start to worry.

Scott, I purchased a title search through your site which is great, thankyou. Will I hear from someone or who do I submit my folio real number to?
Thanks everyone!

Thank you so much, that is fantastic!
The lot we purchased is C2, should be along the road at the front.
I’m sure it will probably need clearing, but I am comfortable with you making that decision for us and $25 is no problem at all.
Also let me know what you want for the pictures.
Enjoy your trip, it must be very exciting for you to see the progress.

Hi Scott,

Thanks so much for the reply and your frankness about the property.
I actually did list with Dominical Realty (Coldwell Banker) and they told me that they were familiar with the development company (Ventana Del Pacifico) and gave me the impression that they were above board, although didn’t hear from them after I signed the listing contract. Do you know of this company and their projects? Also, how can I do a title search, will you do one for us without buying the listing package, of course we will pay a fee. We need to know at this point if we have lost our cash or if we really do own the land.

Hi!
My husband and I purchased a lot in Phase 6 four years ago, we are looking into the possibility of selling it but we really need some updated pictures, of the developments going on, the lot itself and the surrounding area. I see that you are travelling their in Feb and was wondering if you would be interested in taking some pictures for us. We would be willing to pay for the pics!
So awesome that you are building, we wished we could have done that it’s absolutely gorgeous there. I am really looking forward to hearing what is going on down there as far as development especially in the Phase 6 community.
We are located in Edmonton, Alberta.
Regards J & J Janzen.
