About Alberto
The advisor behind
Sold By Alberto.
"Buying property is easy. Buying the right property is not. My job isn't to sell you a house, it's to make sure you never regret the one you buy."
Buying real estate in Costa Rica should be exciting—not uncertain. Whether you're purchasing a vacation home, relocating your family, or making a long-term investment, every decision deserves expert guidance. My role is to simplify the process, eliminate uncertainty, and ensure you have the knowledge and confidence to make the right decision from day one.
I believe trust is earned through honesty, transparency, and putting my clients' interests before any sale. That means straightforward advice, local market expertise, skilled negotiation, and guidance through every step—from your first conversation to closing day and beyond. My goal isn't simply to help you buy a property; it's to help you make one of the best investments of your life with complete confidence.

Read ArticleCommon Questions
Everything you're wondering about.
Yes. Foreigners enjoy the same ownership rights as Costa Rican citizens for titled property, and you can own in your personal name or through a corporation. Certain beachfront concession zones have specific rules, which Alberto will walk you through case by case.
No. You can buy, own and rent out property as a non-resident, even on a tourist visa. Many clients later pursue residency — and property ownership can support certain residency categories — but it's never a requirement to purchase.
A typical closing takes around 30 to 60 days from an accepted offer, covering due diligence, title review and escrow. Cash purchases on clean titles can move faster; Alberto keeps every party coordinated so nothing stalls.
Financing options exist but differ from North America or Europe. Buyers commonly use cash, home-equity from their home country, seller financing, or private lending in Costa Rica. Alberto can outline realistic options for your situation early in the process.
Plan for roughly 3.5% to 4.5% of the purchase price, covering transfer taxes, legal fees, registration and escrow. You'll receive a clear cost breakdown before you commit, so there are no surprises at the closing table.
Annual property tax in Costa Rica is just 0.25% of the registered value — among the lowest in the Americas. Homes valued above roughly $250,000 also pay a progressive "luxury home tax" starting at 0.25% and scaling with value. Even combined, carrying costs here are dramatically lower than in the US or Canada, which is one reason vacation-home ownership is so attractive.
Guanacaste has shown consistent appreciation driven by international airport access, growing tourism, and limited coastal inventory. Well-located vacation rentals commonly produce 6–10% gross annual yields, and Costa Rica's political stability, strong property rights for foreigners and no restrictions on repatriating funds make it one of Latin America's most trusted markets. Like anywhere, the key is buying the right property at the right price — which is exactly what an experienced local advisor is for.
It depends on the life you want. Tamarindo offers energy, dining and surf; Playa Flamingo and Potrero bring quiet luxury; Playas del Coco combines convenience and strong rentals; Nosara suits wellness-focused living. In your consultation, Alberto matches areas to your goals.
