The Costa Rican Chamber of Real Estate Brokers (CCCBR), is a non-profit association, born 38 years ago with the purpose of ensuring clear rules for real estate transactions in Costa Rica. The CCCBR is the first and largest association of real estate in the country, thanks to the recognition of its work in favor of the real estate market of Costa Rica, it is known as the Official Chamber.
There have been big changes brewing the real estate industry, such as the Real Estate Brokerage Act, Real Estate Auction, the property price index
(IPP), partnerships with banks and other institutions that have to do with the real estate industry.

The CCBR has positioned the country as an active member of the International Federation of Real Estate (FIABCI) and of the Federation of Chambers of Real Estate in Central America, Panama and the Caribbean (FECEPAC) and of the National Association of Realtors NAR. (U.S.) It also brings together the best real estate professionals in different specialties: consulting, valuations, sale, purchase and rental of houses, villas, lots, condominiums, apartments, developments, industrial, trade, and tourism estates.

Everybody is so accepting. It’s so social. We’ve made more friends here in 16 months—Costa Rican and expat—than we did in 10 years in Alberta.”

Rick and Peggy were looking for an escape from cold weather…and Costa Rica fit the bill.

But it wasn’t just the tropical climate that convinced them to move—this nation ticked a lot of other boxes too. It’s safe, affordable, First World comforts are available—as are nice homes at good prices—and they could have an active social life.

Perhaps most importantly, though—thanks to its 30+ years as a popular retirement destination—Costa Rica is already “set up” for expats. Rick and Peggy say they enjoyed a quick-and-easy adjustment period. And that meant they were enjoying retirement very soon after they made their move.

Today they are living better than they ever did in Canada. And after renting for two years, they recently bought a home with incredible views just outside the village of Atenas in the Central Valley region for well under $200,000. And this wasn’t an uncommon “special deal.” This is typical of the good value real estate you’ll find in this region, as well as other parts of Costa Rica.

Ivan Madrigal #exitosoivan #ticomagnate ..is a costarican, meaning that I live in Costa Rica. Graduated as an industrial engineer and later worked for my father businesses before having the great opportunity to have a small internship in England, at the company Vinten Broadcast that manufactures equipment for the broadcasting industry. After that I decided to learn another language and tried French. However the unstable labor market here forced me to try other career paths like sales and marketing, which I now self-study or implement. Also developed more experience in Customer Service at several Call centers like at IBM Business Transformation, working as Payroll manager for a company that downsized me, named Dana Corporation... later at Fujitsu, where its big account BellSouth, moved to other country.. and finally Hewlett Packard within their biggest account: Pfizer. Because I didn't want to miss my experience at UK dealing with broadcasting, I studied this career at INA which graduates high level technicians for Central America. Nevertheless, I am trying to make multinational companies recognize my degrees, and get in a position were I can be more productive and creative. But the truth, the best way to show my potential is by owning my business and create presence by networking with people. That´s why I am here, because I need to move on, leave my country for many years, and challenge my skills using new languages that I can learn gradually. There seems to be many obstacles for me to achieve this, but I will deal with this using time management and other tools. I wonder, when will be the time when I recover completly from my motorcycle accident and win the trial, before walking normally with a cane and finally dance... dance with the wolves. The wolves that are in MySpace and Facebook, for example, where I am profiled.
