"There is no multiple listing service in Costa Rica, but it is emerging now. There are a number of US real estate companies that have licensed offices in Costa Rica, for example REMAX and Century21. The best way to find property is to use the internet, take tours, visit communities, talk to other expats, read the online English forums and beware," commented one expat who made the move to Southern Pacific region of Costa Rica, Costa Rica.

"There are many realtors in Jaco so finding a real estate agency is easy! I recommend Keller Williams. All realtors have listing pages on their business window so simply walking thru the city and looking at listings in this manner gives a buyer a good education on what your money will purchase. Another very attractive way to find property is thru real estate listings on Facebook. There are multiple sites offering seasonal and full time rentals along with homes for sale. Don't discount "Word of Mouth" either! Frequent any restaurant/bar that the expats gather and let it be known that you are looking! You will get many responses and in a city of 12,000 people the word travels quickly," remarked another expat in Playa Jaco, Costa Rica.
