perfect climate, wonderful people, and affordable cost
of living in a stable society. Costa Rica is also one
of the world's top tourist destinations, drawing hundreds
of thousands of visitors annually. One has a choice

Parks. Whether observing the turtle migration in Tortugero,

Buying Property in Costa
Rica |
It is no secret that very few laws and restrictions
oversee the Real Estate business in Costa
Rica. Therefore, there are some basic but
essential procedures you can follow to insure
that you obtain the best value with your Real
Estate investment, and that a successful transaction
is achieved. This includes dealing directly
with the seller. An agent should assist both
of you, communicating offers, counter offers
and terms until both parties walk away with
a satisfactory agreement.
No amount of experience in dealing
with real estate in another country can be
insurance against a scam or being victimized
by the common practice of "Sobre Precio"(over
pricing). The best way to protect yourself
when purchasing real estate in Costa Rica
is to assume a very active role in the entire
process.
We at Green Mango S.A. take
pride in our business ethics and the service
we provide. Our clients rest assured that
they have negotiated the very best price and
terms directly with the sellers, and have

making a transition to another culture and
environment. Having experienced this first
hand, we at Green Mango S.A. are committed

the purchase stage.
We will gladly connect you with
reliable moving companies, suitable rentals,
auto finders, architects, contractors, and

Costa Rica is packed full of exciting and
beautiful destinations and by far the most
thrilling is Arenal Volcano and National Park.
Nothing can prepare you for the awesome sight
of red hot molten rocks tumbling down the
mountain side and the rumbling vibrations
of this towering giant. The incredibly fertile
area surrounding Arenal is abundant in lush
vegetation with innumerable bird species and
other wild life. Several days may be enjoyed
here filled with walks through the rain forest,
horseback rides, canopy tours, world renowned
water sports, and of course relaxing hours
soaking in the natural thermal pools. The
gently rolling country side is also ideal
for cycling and scenic drives. Over all Arenal
Volcano is one destination which should not
be missed.
