Finding a Broker in Costa Rica

You are advised to use the services of a real estate broker to buy or sell property in Costa Rica. Real estate agents normally collect a 5% commission or higher.

In order to find a competent, honest broker, it is wise to talk to other expatriates or contact the local Chamber of Real Estate Brokers or Cámara Costarricense de Bienes Raíces.

Be careful because the real estate industry is not regulated as in the U.S.
