PARADISE FOREVER AND GETTING BETTER!
Hola everyone from the sun, sand, surf and mountains of Costa Rica. Flights to Costa Rica are increasing and the borders are opening. Time to plan your summer, fall, winter vacation in paradise. It seems finally the COVID pandemic is waning after 19 months and people can start get back to normal lives - hopefully. COVID numbers are dropping and the vaccinations are helping us get to herd immunity.
It has been a long difficult time for everyone and now it is time to get back to living.
     
Pura Vida! 
Arenal Volcano a great place to visit. Take a nice break from the beach to take a tour or rent a car and drive out for the day. About 2 hours one way, this is a beautiful drive with lots of changes in scenery. A nice break from the beach. The roads are in good condition and you will enjoy the drive.
 
 
Please read our Blog Page for tips and other useful information about entry requirements to Costa Rica during COVID. Our blog page gives you details as of February 2021 and entry requirements have not changed since then.

Check our blog as we will update as changes occur. 
 
NEW LAW PASSED TO ATTRACT RESIDENTS

A project that will lower the minimum required investment to obtain Costa Rica residency has been signed into law by President Carlos Alvarado.

Project 22.156 will reduce the minimum capital investment for Costa Rica residency from $200,000 to $150,000.

In addition, the law includes incentives such as the tax-free importation of vehicles for personal or family use and a one-time tax exemption for importing household goods.

WHAT'S NEW IN REAL ESTATE
Real estate sales have been very hot these past six months. Our company has sold more million dollar homes this year than I can remember and we have been here for 14 years. Seems like North Americans have discovered our little paradise and they are moving out of the crazy happenings in the big cities of the North. Come down and enjoy the weather, the people and the culture of Pura Vida. We have our problems down here but nothing like we see up North. Do not hesitate to contact me to assist you as all properties are moving fast. Available inventory is being depleted at an amazing rate!

CHANGE IS A PART OF LIFE!

HOLA EVERYONE FROM THE MOUNTAINS AND BEACHES OF PARADISE!
   

REMAX TRES AMIGOS, REMAX PRESTIGE OCEAN PROPERTIES, and REMAX OCEAN VILLAGE were founded by Michael Simons and Chris Simmons starting back in 2003 – 17 years ago. Seventeen years is a considerable amount of time, but time flies by, especially in paradise. On the other hand, seventeen years is a long time to be affiliated with a large ever-changing global corporation. Since that time, the three franchises have grown at a great rate with a few hiccups due to the downturns in the world economy over the past years. But the REMAX groups have always persisted and have been the most successful real estate companies in the Papagayo region in Costa Rica throughout these past 17 years.

However, times change, people change, and companies change. As of last Wednesday, September 2, 2020, REMAX and Michael and Chris have mutually agreed to part company. So, the page of life turns and the same top notch former REMAX team of agents now will become known as TRES AMIGOS REALTY with offices in Playas del Coco, Playa Hermosa and Playa Panama. All current agents have decided to remain with the TRES AMIGOS REALTY group and will be here to treat you with dignity and class. So, whether you are a buyer or a seller, you can still expect the same excellent results from our team committed to integrity, honesty and great service.  Everyone at TRES AMIGOS REALTYhas the desire to help you in locating the perfect property, buying the perfect property and assisting you after you purchase your perfect property. Sellers can expect the same great service in assisting them in selling their property at a fair market value. Our agents will be yours for life with no expiration date!
 
We at Costa Rica Discovered Real Estate look forward to a continued great relationship with TRES AMIGOS REALTY and to what the exciting changes will bring in the future.  We know Michael and the team of agents will have some great new ideas for making TRES AMIGOS REALTY even more successful.
