This is a truly tragic story on financial loss but a common
one.Please forgive me if I am missing something from this
painful story.If your Escrow agent was not working as your
attorney in this realestate transaction,you were doomed from
the beginning.Escrow in Costa Rica not to be confused with
escrow in the U.S… Three decades ago our lawyer warned us
about putting money down on anything, till a registro search
was done on the property and a back round check on all players
involved.Buying property is easy in Costa Rica but buying
correctly is hard and another story.

With Condolences,

There was a time a when a Tico of American parentage could go to the Costa Rican consulate of his home country, file the paperwork and get his Costa Rican cedula or ID card. Only by using the Costa Rican parentage. But i have a feeling those days are long gone. Please check with you’re Costa Rican consulate and only communicate in Spanish and bring your Mama’.

Remember when in Costa Rica you are a Tico and when your in the U.S.your an American, Costa Rica is not a politically correct country

Thankyou Scott!! For your reply.Unfortunately for me,my only frame of reference for expats in business

are the ones who were waylaid by their own friends and Family in Costa Rica,or as someone already wrote

” The Train Wrecks” Now That is a show!

Please remember this is reality show entertainment.They never show what is in between the lines in regard to ownership.

Costa Rica is a country of many laws but mostly suggestions.I will leave you with the old Costa Rican adage in reference to making a buck in the land of perpetual Mucho Gusto.

“If you want to make a million dollars in Costa Rica you better bring in two million”
