Quick answer
How do I find a real estate agent in Costa Rica?
To find a real estate agent in Costa Rica, work with an established brokerage whose agents are bilingual, know your target area, and belong to a recognized professional association. Realty ONE Group Costa Rica connects international and local buyers with experienced English- and Spanish-speaking real estate agents and brokers across the country — from Central Valley neighborhoods to Pacific beach towns — who guide you through search, negotiation, due diligence, and closing.
Your real estate agency in Costa Rica
Buying or selling property in a country you don't live in is daunting — different language, different legal system, a market with no public MLS. The right real estate agent removes that friction. Realty ONE Group is a full-service real estate agency in Costa Rica: our realtors work with foreign investors, relocating families, and local owners every day, and every one of them speaks both English and Spanish.
Costa Rica has no national real-estate licensing law, so choosing an agent backed by a real brokerage matters more here than almost anywhere else. When you work with a Realty ONE Group real estate agent, you get a named professional with a track record, the reach of a global franchise, and a back office that handles the paperwork — not an anonymous lead form. Whether you need a luxury real estate agent for a beachfront villa, a broker for a commercial or hospitality deal, or a discreet real estate advisor for a family office, you're matched with someone who actually works that segment.
Our agents cover the whole country — the Central Valley (San José, Escazú, Santa Ana), the central and southern Pacific (Jacó, Herradura, Uvita, the Osa Peninsula), Guanacaste's beach towns, and the Nicoya Peninsula (Santa Teresa, Mal País, Sámara). Browse the live inventory on our properties pages, read our area guides to learn each market before you commit, and reach out to an agent when you're ready to move.
Why buyers and sellers choose our agents
Real experience, real local knowledge, and the backing of a global real estate brand.
Years in the Costa Rica market
Our agents have closed sales, rentals, and investment deals across Costa Rica's coastal and Central Valley markets — they know real pricing, real timelines, and the pitfalls that catch first-time foreign buyers.
Fully bilingual — English & Spanish
Every agent works natively in both English and Spanish, so nothing is lost between you, the seller, the attorney, and the bank. Clear communication is the single biggest factor in a smooth cross-border purchase.
Areas served across Costa Rica
From luxury beachfront in Guanacaste and the Southern Zone to condos in Escazú and farms in the highlands, our agents specialize by region so you work with a true local — not a generalist who covers everything and knows nothing deeply.
Backed by Realty ONE Group
Realty ONE Group is one of the fastest-growing real estate franchises in the world. That global brand, its marketing reach, and its network of offices stand behind every Costa Rica agent you work with — boutique local service, global-brand accountability.

Real estate agents in Costa Rica — FAQ
Are real estate agents licensed in Costa Rica?
Costa Rica does not have a national real-estate licensing law, so there is no government license to verify. Reputable agents instead establish credibility through a recognized brokerage, membership in professional associations such as CRGAR (Costa Rican Global Association of Realtors) or CCCBR, verifiable transaction history, and references. Working with an agent backed by an established agency like Realty ONE Group is the most reliable signal of professionalism.
Can a foreigner buy property in Costa Rica?
Yes. Foreign buyers have the same ownership rights as Costa Rican citizens for the large majority of properties, and you do not need to be a resident to buy. A licensed attorney handles the legal transfer, and your real estate agent coordinates the process. (Maritime-zone concession land is the main exception, with special rules — your agent will flag it.)
What does a real estate agent charge in Costa Rica?
Real-estate commissions in Costa Rica are typically paid by the seller and are negotiated in the listing agreement. As a buyer, you generally work with an agent at no direct cost to you. Exact terms vary by property type and deal, so confirm the commission and who pays it in writing before you list or make an offer — your agent will walk you through it.
Do your Costa Rica real estate agents speak English?
Yes — every Realty ONE Group agent works in both English and Spanish. We serve a large international clientele from the United States, Canada, and Europe, and bilingual communication with you, the seller, the attorney, and the bank is standard on every transaction.
What's the difference between a realtor, an agent, and a broker in Costa Rica?
In everyday use the terms overlap. 'Realtor' usually signals membership in a professional association of realtors; a 'real estate agent' is the professional who works directly with you to find or sell a property; and a 'broker' typically runs or represents the agency and can handle larger or commercial transactions. At Realty ONE Group you're matched with the right person for your deal — a residential agent, a luxury specialist, or a broker for commercial and hospitality property.
Do you have agents for luxury, commercial, or family-office buyers?
Yes. Beyond residential sales, our agents handle luxury and beachfront property, commercial and hospitality assets (hotels and resorts), and discreet advisory for investors and family offices building a Costa Rica real-estate position. Tell us your objective when you reach out and we'll match you with an agent who specializes in that segment.
