Our Agents: Richard Owens

Hello! I'm Richard Owens, and it has been a remarkable journey since joining Osa Tropical Properties in 2020. Over my 10 years in Costa Rica real estate, I've developed deep expertise in the real estate market, particularly in the captivating region of Ojochal. My passion for this profession began after a diverse career path that has shaped my unique perspective. Prior to moving to Costa Rica, I began my professional life by joining the US military in May of 2001 and serving for 6 years. I changed career paths in 2007 when I started working for a local bank, then switching to insurance in 2011. After living through a number of tragedies that seemed to follow my career choices in Alabama (9/11 while I was enlisted in the military, the market crash of 2008 while working in banking, and a series of devastating tornadoes while working in insurance), I decided it was time for a change of pace, scenery, and way of life. I moved to Costa Rica in 2012 to change my luck…. and it worked! I’m still here and wouldn’t want to have my home anywhere else. Like so many others before me, I fell in love with the immense and diverse beauty of this country, the friendly people, and I met my wife here (can’t get better than that!) In our free time, my wife and I love spending time on the incredible beaches of the South Pacific. Or you might find us enjoying lunch or dinner in one of the many exquisite restaurants in and around Ojochal. I have spent the last decade living in Ojochal and selling real estate here -- evaluating and selling properties and showing people how to make room for their dream life in Costa Rica. I am in my fourth year with Osa Tropical Properties now and I am grateful to all of the wonderful experiences I have had meeting clients from around the world and I look forward to meeting all of you one day soon, too!
