My name is Michael Simons and I’m a professional Realtor here in Playa Hermosa, Guanacaste, Costa Rica.

I’ve been a permanent resident of Costs Rica since 2003 and I am a certified licensed Realtor with the Costa Rican Guanacaste Association of Realtors. People just assume that only old, retired people are living in Costa Rica.

Now, don’t get me wrong. We have our fair share of retirees and this is a great place to spend the last twilight years of your life.

What I’ve seen is over the last four, five years, more and more younger people are moving here.

The entrepreneurial spirit is kicking in. People are coming here and starting businesses and raising families.

More people are actually having children here in Costa Rica because of the great medical care and what has happened is over the last couple of years, a tremendous amount of new schools have been formed here in the local area of Playas del Coco.

There are four bilingual private schools here that are amazing and your child can get as good of an education if not better than they might get in North America while living in a beautiful place like Costa Rica.

So if you’re interested in more information about having a child or raising children here in Costa Rica, I would be glad to send you some information on the schools.

Come on down baby!
