A letter I received from a client

Dear Robert;

I just wanted to write to you and let you know how delighted my husband and I are with Rudy Matthews and Costa Rica Retirement Vacation Properties.  After my second trip to Costa Rica, I found a property listed on your web site that I was very interested in.  I notified Rudy with the property I liked, and asked him if he would go and look at it for me.  He did that and much more.  He checked out the property, notified me in a timely manner who the owner and contractor were, what condition the house was in, etc. Having met Rudy in April this year, I knew he was detail-oriented, truthful, and absolutely trustworthy.  He also had a good grasp of what we wanted in Costa Rica.

To make a long story short, because of Rudy, my husband and I entered into a contract to buy the house.  Keep in mind this is all being done by emails and wire transfers under Rudy’s perfect management.  We did close on the house in September, not having seen the house in person until the day before closing.  A lesser agent would not or could not have handled it with the expertise that Rudy has.  He is an absolute godsend.  I only wish house closings we have been involved with here in Texas had been half as easy.  What an asset he is to your firm.

Warmest regards,

James and Darlene Monkres
Houston, Texas

Hi Robert:

We had a very productive tour with both Carol and Rudy. Quite honestly, I am not sure how you could improve on it. This was really a good introduction to Costa Rica and details of retirement. I cannot imagine trying this on our own. We are planning to return, hopefully, next summer for round two. We will stay in touch.   Thanks again for you and Karla’s gracious hospitality.

Dear Robert:

After living in the States all of our life and seeing prices escalate, along with the standard of living going downhill, we thought of finding somewhere else to retire, affording us the opportunity to live within our means.  After much extensive research and making several trips to the country, we came across Costa Rica as an interesting place to explore.
As part of this search, we found a company called Costa Rica Retirement.  After meeting with this company several times, we were convinced that there was no other place to live that would afford us the opportunity to live in a country where there is affordable health care, housing, taxes, etc. and a place where Americans were well received.

Thanks to Costa Rica Retirement (Robert Shannon) and his connections with businessmen, attorneys, and his thorough knowledge of the country and its government, he guided us in a manner that would be difficult to explain.  It has been a very rewarding experience, both socially and financially.

Costa Rica is a third world country, so it takes some adjustment.  Infrastructure is not so good but rapidly changing.  The country is booming and there are nice small towns that have just about everything within close proximity to all the shopping, hospitals, and services that you might need.  The culture is unlike what we know from the U.S., Canada and Europe, but I might add, so acceptable that now many people from all over the world, as well as other South American countries, are coming here to live.  Basic Spanish is easy to pick up and English is becoming quite popular.

We have been living in Costa Rica for two years now and enjoying every day.  Climate is wonderful, people are friendly, and it is a good live (Pura Vida).  Thanks Robert.

Dear Robert;

We wanted to write this letter to thank you for the courteous and professional service provided to us. From the beginning we felt we were treated more like friends (not simply like just another clients), when we had that wonderful dinner at your home!  After that Rudy took us on a few tours and we found a property we’ve been looking for. Many THANKS to Rudy!!!

That a pleasure it was to work with a professional! He is very knowledgeable, sincere, really knows how to listen to people and extremely patient! We met some of his former clients who became his friends and now we understand why.

We will be very happy to recommend your service to anyone who might be interested in buying property in Costa Rica.

With our best wishes to all of you,

Richard and Tatyana Leardi

Tayana and Richard:  What a very nice time we had with you as our guests. This kind of thing we do with our clients puts them together with people who have already made the move and really gives our people a good feeling. We were very pleased to have had you and wish well always.

Hi Rudy, My name is Nancy Ellis and I was referred to you by Lynn McPeak. I have heard some very flattering things about you and your business. We live in Northern California and are going to sell our house and move to Costa Rica next year. We have been reading every book we can get our hands on, studying Spanish and using the Internet to learn about the real estate and everything else we can about Costa Rica. My husband and I are in our mid fifties and ready for a different lifestyle! Could you let us know more about your Costa Rica listings , We are going to come down towards the end of this year to look around. Thank you very much, Nancy Ellis

Nancy: I am sure when Rudy tightens down on what your lifestyle needs are, you will find  your dream here easily and safely. Good luck in your new venture.   Thank you for using Costa Rica Retirement Vacation Properties
