Have you and your husband just started to look for property? Have you decided where you would like to build? Guanacaste? Nicoya? Pacific? Caribbean/ I guessed that you had picked Quepos area because you had asked about CR Tropical. Are you going to live in CR full time or part? When you call these places if you like the company and you like what you see on thier web site,ask them if they have property in the area you like. If they do not, ask them to keep you on thier future mailing and calling list.If they buy property in that area, they can call you. We are on a list with Wellington properties. They have said that they are looking to buy in Quepos and hopefully build ocean front condos. They will call me every now and then to tell me what is going on. Do you have family living in CR or friends? You may decide to buy land if you have family to watch it for you.
We will be going the 20th and we wanted to stay in Quepos so we found the Best Western to have great prices. The construction on the new Marina (across the street) I think is keeping buisness away but we wanted to watch the work. Hope they will let us have a front ocean view room. We have a buisness so we signed up for the travel card through Best Western, includes breakfast. Check out the web sight for prices. When are you traveling?
My husband and I looked for land first and than Condo but settled on a gated community because of security since we are not going to be living there full time. We did alot of research and decided that we wanted to build in the Quepos area. We liked the climate there and the property value would go up if the marina went through. We called (ALOT) of companies and asked if they had any land in the Quepos area. Only two companies had property there. CR Tropical was one of them. We found them to be very friendly, willing to please and we never talked to anyone on the phone that was quick with us. All of the gated communities ask for a down payment to hold the land for you. If you do not like it and they cannot come up with something you like they will return your money. We told both companies that we were looking at more than one property and recieved $500.00 from both companies to help pay for our hotel costs. We intended to just buy one piece of property but we loved and picked out each of our lots and even when there was a mix up and the sales person showed us the wrong lot, we told them that we wanted our money back or they could sell us the property at a mountain view price. They sold us the property for a great price and it is an ocean view lot.
A realtor that tells you to stay away from those places are telling you that because they are not making a commission on it.
Good luck on your search.
These properties are not swampland. We know because we walked them and are going back to walk through again in Feb. of 2008.
