The 4-Step Process to Your Dream Home in Costa Rica

1️⃣ Find: Explore Listings & Tour

The Challenge: No centralized MLS in Costa Rica means properties are scattered across multiple listing sites, making it difficult to compare options.

How We Help:

  • We curate a personalized selection of properties based on your needs.

  • Gain access to off-market and private listings through our network.

  • We arrange in-person or virtual showings to explore your top choices efficiently.

 

Save time, reduce stress, and get access to the best properties.

2️⃣ Purchase: Paperwork

The Challenge: Understanding local pricing, securing a fair deal, and ensuring a legally sound purchase can be complex.

How We Help:

  • Expert market knowledge to ensure you’re paying a fair price.

  • Full buyer representation to protect your interests.

  • We introduce you to trusted escrow companies, inspectors, and real estate attorneys to handle due diligence and ensure a smooth transaction.

 

Secure the right property at the right price, with the right legal protections.

3️⃣ Airbnb Setup (If Desired)

The Challenge: If you're buying an investment property, setting up an Airbnb from abroad can be overwhelming.

How We Help:

  • Assist with furnishing and staging your property for short-term rentals.

  • We provide pricing strategy and listing optimization for Airbnb success.

  • We guide you through rental regulations, tax implications, and management options.

 

Turn your home into a profitable vacation rental with ease.

4️⃣ Manage & Earn (Our Airbnb Superhost Benefits)

The Challenge: Managing a short-term rental from abroad requires local expertise, marketing, and guest coordination.  Without professional oversight, owners risk low occupancy rates, poor guest experiences, and maintenance issues.

We manage professional cleaning, restocking, and routine maintenance to keep your property in top condition.

- Jay, Chelsea, & The BlueZone Team

We are an honest and ethical husband-and-wife real estate team, always putting our clients' best interests first.  Our clients value our responsive communication, local connections, and extensive market knowledge in Samara, Nosara, Carrillo and the surrounding areas. 

After spending 20 incredible years in Austin, TX, our family embarked on a life-changing vacation to Costa Rica in 2021, and it was love at first sight.  The shift to a digital work environment during the pandemic showed us that we could successfully fulfill our dream to transition our careers to any location in the world.  We've since found our best life in the lush jungle of Playa Samara, where we wake up to ocean views and daily visits from howler monkeys and exotic birds.

Over the years, we've been deeply involved in multiple aspects of the real estate industry, giving us a well-rounded perspective that benefits our clients.  From owning an insurance agency to remodeling homes, we've built hands-on experience in property value enhancement.  We've owned and operated Airbnb's for 13 years, spoken at three HomeAway conferences, and participated in a HomeAway documentary on the life of a vacation rental owner.  Buying our dream home in Costa Rica was the culmination of our hard work and passion for real estate, and we love helping others do the same.  We have a keen eye for properties that offer both a great place to live and strong investment potential.

Beyond real estate, we've discovered a like-minded and progressive community that shares our values and aspirations to create a positive impact.  We love spending time with our kids on the beach, surfing, boogie boarding, playing futbol, and practicing yoga, breathwork, and meditation - embracing everything this health-conscious haven has to offer.

Pura vida!
