What was the reason Barry Ashworth of Coronado Realty, Kjersten van Horn of Tucan Realty and I started the American European Real Estate Group Costa Rica in 1996? We wanted to have an organization with agents who know where the Costa Rica real estate bones were buried.
That was the only way we could help our clients better than anyone else. We did all we could to find the top real estate agents who specialize in an area of Costa Rica. Over the years, we’ve been able to find 30, they form our Costa Rica MLS..

Pocket listings
All our agents have their own pocket listings that we are not allowed to advertise on our website. But we know they are for sale and at what cost. We also know the owners of properties who are not really in the market, but might be willing to sell for the right price. That, if you have very particular needs for a certain property. AND our agents work together with other agents in the same area, so we are able to find out for you where the bones are buried.
