As one of the newest members of the Osa Tropical Properties’ team, I want to extend my greetings to everyone in the extended OTP family! My name is Richard Owens and I have been working in real estate with a local developer for a number of years. It is now my pleasure to continue my growth in the industry alongside such a distinguished team.

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 over 6 years working and living in Ojochal, evaluating and selling properties and showing people how to make room for their dream life here. I am thankful for the opportunity to continue on this journey with Osa Tropical Properties and I look forward to meeting all of you one day soon!
