Costa Rica Real Estate sales opportunities

Share on Twitter

Remember fantasy Island and the famous line “the plane, the plane”.  That is what it is like welcoming new and excited clients to Costa Rica in search of their dream homes.

One of the many good jobs here is Real Estate sales and marketing.  There are many fine Real Estate Companies here and lots of good product to place clients into.

Real Estate in Costa Rica is much more organized and sophisticated than a few years ago.

Today we have Multiple listing systems,  Real Estate associations with clout, codes of ethics, international connections and a desire from the Real Estate community to become more sophisticated.

The MLS is not to be compared to the USA.  We don’t have accurate comps and many things can contribute to a difference in price on a similar home.  Gated, Beachfront, walk to the beach, mountain view, valley view etc. can make a large difference in pricing of a similar home.

The approach to marketing varies with the amount of resources of the Company.  Many great deals are being offered at present and it is very important that the Company has the resources to get the message out there  quickly.

If you are coming to Costa Rica and plan to be a legal resident and wish to work, here is a Real Estate sales-marketing opportunity that is worth looking into.

If you are seriously looking to augment income or make a new career and have sales experience, this could be a great opportunity for you.  Franchises are also a consideration as they are a pure WIN WIN deal.
