“This customer-oriented attention did not end with the house purchase”

My partner and I purchased a home in November 2022 with the assistance of Marcia Oro and Osa Tropical Properties. Marcia and Osa are the best and I HIGHLY recommend both. We first met Marcia in June 2022 when we were looking at houses in the south coast area. She showed us the house we ended up purchasing. The purchase and closing was a breeze. Marcia is so knowledgeable and goes to every effort to find out if she doesn’t know the answer to a question. Her recommendations for attorneys for the real estate sale, and for residency, for insurance, and for everything else she’s helped us with have been top notch. This customer-oriented attention did not end with the house purchase. Marcia and Osa have been assisting with having an air conditioner replaced and with paying bills until we move to Costa Rica; they have been an invaluable resource. I had not met Marcia or had any connection Osa Tropical until we met in June 2022, so this isn’t some solicited review – it is genuine – and I am so, so grateful to Marcia and Osa. I recommend both with great confidence.

“We found a gorgeous lot in this competitive market.”

We had a terrific experience with Marcia in our search for an ocean view lot. She hung in there while we fine tuned our wish list and worked out what we really wanted. Ultimately, we found a gorgeous lot in this competitive market. We highly recommend Marcia.

“Marcia was always great at minimizing that stress”

Selling a home in a foreign country is stressful and Marcia was always great at minimizing that stress. She worked hard to get our property shown to as many people as possible. She always gave immediate feedback from the showings so that we could collaborate on how to highlight the best features of our property. She offered good advice when needed and was even helpful in finding buyers our vehicles. We enjoyed working with her.

“I would highly recommend her…many times over!”

My husband and I feel in love with the Costa Ballena area and were determined to find a good property there. We were fortunate that I happened to reach out to Marcia Oro about a property that we found. Marcia was incredible responsive, found a time to meet with us right away, and then proceeded to drive us around the mountain showing us a whole list of properties that she thought might be what we were looking for. Through our several days together, she got to know our “wants” and what we were hoping to find, and lo and behold, she called us one morning and said she thought she had found the perfect one…it wasn’t even on the market yet! Turned out she was right. Marcia went above and beyond answering tons of our questions, was extremely patient, explained the foreign process to us, and made sure we had a good attorney to help us. She’s been in the area for a long time, knows it and the people, and really was reassuring to work with. I would highly recommend her…many times over!

“Marcia Oro and Osa Tropical Properties, absolutely FABULOUS and PROFESSIONAL”

Marcia was our realtor for our recent property purchase in Ojochal, Costa Rica. She made the process practically seamless! She was very available to show us properties, efficiently helped us write our offer, and always answered or got answers to our questions quickly. She assisted us to find professionals to close, inspect and insure our new home and was always right there to help. She represented both the seller and buyer and we could see she strived to fairly represent us both. She is very knowledgeable about the area and shared lots of information about what to consider when buying in a new country. Marcia was absolutely fabulous and professional in every way. We would work with Marcia and Osa Tropical Properties again and give her our HIGHEST recommendation. THANK YOU MARCIA!

Thanks to Richard Owens on his work selling our property. He was very helpful and sold our property quickly. It was a pleasure working with him, I highly recommend Richard.

Judith L.G.

 

“He was honest, patient and a wealth of knowledge”

We spent an entire day with Richard Owens, and it was not only exciting, but extremely informative. Richard took time to point out things such as good construction practices in certain homes, while keeping us informed of others that could have potential issues in the future. He was honest, patient and a wealth of knowledge when it came to the pros and cons of certain areas. If you want to develop a relationship based on trust then Richard is your guy. It’s obvious that he cares as much about the customer as he does a potential sale.

“Rebecca was super responsive, thoughtful, efficient, knowledgeable…”

We’re beyond impressed with the professionalism of the Osa Tropical Properties team – especially our awesome agent, Rebecca Rowntree.

We have known Rebecca professionally for years, so the decision to give her our exclusive listing was an easy one. From the first inquiry we made with her about listing our home, Rebecca was super responsive, thoughtful, efficient, knowledgeable and confident in the information she was providing, which helped us in making decisions every step of the way. The market research she did to price our home was right on point, and resulted in us accepting an offer in just under 6 weeks!

A huge thank you to Rebecca for all your expert advice and reassurance through what could have been a very stressful experience.

Lindsay M.S

 

“Rebecca went above and beyond her job description”

After reading online reviews of realtors in the Osa area, we contacted Rebecca Rowntree to help us find a home near Uvita. We cannot recommend her highly enough. Rebecca was responsive, professional, kind, and very knowledgeable about real estate surrounding Bahia Ballena. Furthermore, Rebecca went above and beyond her job description, as she helped answer questions about ANYTHING having to do with living in Costa Rica. We closed on a home in Uvita last week. We are thrilled with our new residence, and we look forward to a lifelong friendship with Rebecca. Win-win 🙂

“She made a very intimidating process seem relatively simple”

Rebecca Rowntree handled our house purchase for us in July completely remotely. We had previously met Rebecca when we were vacationing in Ojochal in December 2019 and decided to look at some properties. She made quite an impression on us and was the first person we went to when we decided to take the plunge from back home in Canada this past spring! Rebecca “toured” us through a few properties using Zoom and helped us find our “starter house” in Ojochal. She made a very intimidating process seem relatively simple! Rebecca is honest and hardworking. Even though we were buying a house at the lower end of the market, Rebecca had all the time in the world for us and answered all of our concerns and questions promptly. You can’t go wrong dealing with Rebecca.

“Marcia is personable, very professional and thorough”

Marcia Oro at Osa Tropical Properties was our realtor for the Costa Rica house we just closed on!!! She is great, and I would recommend her and Osa, to anyone thinking of buying in Costa Rica… Marcia is personable, very professional and thorough with all the business of home buying in the Southern Zone of the country.. thanks Marcia..

Pat & Sarah M.

 

“Rebecca cares passionately about her job and her clients”

We can’t speak highly enough of Rebecca as our real estate agent. Her professionalism, knowledge, honesty, integrity and work ethic made what could have been a stressful and difficult process as seamless as could be. We had met with several realtors prior to choosing to work with Rebecca. From the very first meeting we knew she was the right person for us. Unlike others, she had done her homework and came prepared with comps, pricing and other really helpful suggestions to maximize the sale of our house. Not just our realtor, she was our partner in the sales process. Her responsiveness and communication not only helped with the logistics of the sales process, but also made us feel comfortable and secure. Rebecca cares passionately about her job and her clients and was absolutely wonderful to work with. Thank you Rebecca!

“I highly recommend Marcia and her company for any of your real estate needs”

I have known Marcia for several years since meeting her in Costa Rica after I purchased my property in Ojochal. She has always been a wealth of information regarding the southern zone of Costa Rica. When decided to sell my property, there was nobody else I would consider listing the property. It sold within 3 weeks and the sale went extremely smooth. I highly recommend Marcia and her company for any of your real estate needs in the southern zone of Costa Rica. Pura Vida!!

“Marcia Oro at Osa Tropical Properties did an outstanding job”

Marcia Oro at Osa Tropical Properties did an outstanding job representing my corporation, La Caballeria, in the sale of our lot at Finca Marañon. She obtained a good price and guided us through the steps necessary to get to settlement. My wife Mary & I are present using Marcia as our agent in the acquisition of another property.

Gus G.

 

We placed our faith in Rebecca and were rewarded. 

Rebecca, you were highly, and correctly, recommended as a great agent.  We placed our faith in you and were “rewarded”.  You sold our dream villa to a couple who sounds as if they will also treasure it.  Thanks for finding the right buyers and sticking with us through this odyssey!   We appreciate all you have done.

Deb & Darryl

 

“The sale of my property with Rebecca was an easy no stress experience”

The sale of my property with Rebecca was an easy no stress experience and at rocket speed! She took care of everything that mattered and went out of her way to make things easy breezy for everyone involved. So thankful!

“Marcia led us through our home buying adventure in Costa Rica with expertise and a lot of patience”

Realtor Marcia Oro of Osa Tropical Properties led us through our home buying adventure in Costa Rica with expertise and a lot of patience. We really didn’t know what we wanted, we had no clue how to go about a purchase, and we don’t speak much Spanish. Thankfully Marcia is very knowledgeable about the many different communities in the Southern Pacific Zone and the real estate market, which is why she was so highly recommended. She showed us a lot of homes, helped us make a decision, and then set us up with a wonderful lawyer and escrow company. She explained the entire process ahead of time, and also answered our numerous questions at every step. Our purchase went through without a hitch and we are now enjoying our beautiful jungle house! 

Marla C.

 

“[She] went the extra mile to get things done and make things happen”

I was introduced to Marcia in March while visiting friends in Ojochal, she showed me properties for 2 days, we found a beautiful lot, made an offer & closed last week. The process was difficult at times but Marcia was my eyes, ears and boots on the ground as I am still living in the USA. She went the extra mile to get things done and make things happen! Many thanks for the extra effort Marcia ! Can’t wait to start building!

Mark H.

 

“She continues to give us guidance and help”

My wife and have just moved from the USA and completed purchase of our new home in Ojochal through Osa Tropical. We dropped in the office totally on spec and we were greeted by Katherine. She was enthusiastic, helpful and over the coming weeks she has become a good friend, as well as our valued realtor. She went out of her way to help us view properties and once we had decided she handled the purchase professionally. She was always responsive to questions and gave us sound advise. We look forward to continuing to see her as a neighbor living in Ojochal. She continues to give us guidance and help with integrating in Costa Rica and all the intricacies of living and establishing our home here. Thank’s Katherine we look forward to socializing with you again on our return from USA, to take up residence in our new home. Nuestra casa es su casa!!

“[A] smooth transition from us to a happy new owner”

Marcia just sold our home in Chontales. We listed with Osa Tropical Properties because of her extensive knowledge of the area, and reputation for working with others. As out-of-country owners, she oversaw our property from the time of listing through the difficult closing process that ended with a smooth transition from us to a happy new owner. Thank you Marcia!

Nikki S.

 

“Marcia thank you so much you made it happen for us…”

My husband and I have lived in Costa Rica now for 12 years. We have owned three homes and Marcia Oro has listed our homes and also sold them for us. We needed to sell our current home within thirty days because of a family member being ill and Marcia did that. We just closed on our home today.

We would never use another realtor she knows the market, she is very professional, hard working and goes beyond helping you get your home sold. We will be calling on Marcia when we come back to Costa Rica to buy our fourth home from her. Marcia Thank you so much you made it happen for us.

Jackie & Bob

 

“From start to finish, I knew I was in good hands…”

Marcia was the realtor when I sold my first house in Chontales. She was fantastic, did all the right things to show the house and was very professional throughout the entire process. From setting up the listing, to the photos and video of the house, to showing the house, to negotiating the best deal for me, to ensuring the closing went smoothly.

So, of course, when the time came to sell my second house, there was no question…Marcia was the obvious choice. As good a job Marcia did with my first house, she was even better with this sale. From start to finish, I knew I was in good hands with Marcia.

Bill P.

 

“Words cannot properly express my gratitude…”

Since my first visit to Costa Rica, I dreamed of having a home one day in the breathtaking natural landscape. When the global pandemic began, I realized time does not last forever, and focused on making my dream a reality. I was fortunate to find Marcia Oro with Osa Tropical Properties through my research. Words cannot properly express my gratitude for Marcia. She went above and beyond every step of the way. She is a consummate professional and a master expert in her field. She is also kind, compassionate, and thoroughly enjoys what she does, which shines through in her work. If you are thinking of a home in Costa Rica, I highly recommend you work with Marcia. You will be thrilled you did!

Adeline R.

 

“We definitely recommend her”

We would like to thank our realtor, Marcia Oro with Osa Tropical Properties. She was incredible throughout the entire process of purchasing a house in Ojochal, helping us with every step! We definitely recommend her for your future purchases.

Mariana and Dave

 

“Thank you Marcia. Pura Vida.”

Buying and selling land in Costa Rica can seem overwhelming at first look, but Marcia with Oso Tropical Properties made the transaction on both ends, seamless. We have both bought and sold through her. Marcia is professional, knowledgeable, organized and easy to deal with. Thank you Marcia. Pura Vida.

 

“Thank you sooo much”

You were awesome we couldn’t ask for anything better you went above and beyond your means we’re so thankful we had you we are so appreciated for everything you have done for us and whoever else is reading this if you want a house in Costa Rica Marcia Oro is the lady to get.

“[I] love what I read”

Hola amiga,

I want to take this moment to Finally tell you – Great Job! I mean that regarding your weekly, Friday email marketing content. I’ve been reading them for the last year (?) and love what I read.

“This [newsletter] is just outstanding”

Rebecca, thanks for including us on your email list for your newsletters. This one is just outstanding, and we enjoyed it. After having spent a lot of time in Costa Rica, we can understand many of the things highlighted here! Thanks again.

John and Anne

 

“Tenacious with a lot of character”

I thank you, Rebecca, for all the efforts done for this memorable sale.  I know you worked very hard for this sale since you took the listing, and you very quickly had the right buyer. It’s not important to bring dozens of buyers….one is enough but the right one!  You are tenacious with a lot of character and I guess this is the key to your success.  I will warmly recommend you to my friends in Costa Rica if they want to sell their property.  Wishing you all the best for your future sales and a long life full of success and health in Costa Rica.

“We felt understood, supported and encouraged through the whole process”

My husband and I cannot recommend Marcia Oro of Osa Tropical Properties enough. Marcia started helping a friend of ours look for property in the area. We were so impressed with her professionalism and knowledge of the region that we knew Marcia would be our realtor if we ever needed one. Well of course we called Marcia when we decided to put our property on the market. Originally we were just going to sell our house and then build another one in the area because we had such a great experience with our builder. But family issues in the states called us home and we needed to move quickly. Marcia was there for us through the entire process. Pricing, marketing, strategy for bringing qualified buyers verses just lookers, it was very collaborative between us, Marcia and the team at Osa Tropical Properties. We felt understood, supported and encouraged through the whole process. Thank you Marcia for helping us get back to our family. And to anyone considering buying or selling in the region we strongly recommend you talk with Marcia before deciding on your next real estate move. We promise you will not be disappointed!!!

“[She] supported the whole purchase in a fantastic way”

We have been to CR for several times since the last 15 years and we loved it from the first moment. Again and again we thought about buying a house in CR – especially in the Costa Ballena zone – using it as a vacation home for ourself and also for renting it in the time we could not be there.

On our last trip in January 2019 with our two kids, we decided to spend one day of family vacation and contact several agents – just to get in touch, get basic information and talk about our interest. The idea was to receive information about interesting listings in the next few years and maybe we would be lucky and find the perfect place for us some day …

In this way met with Rebecca – a very sympathetic, open minded and encouraging person – in her office and she gave us a lot of useful information. We didn’t expect to see any listings due to the short times lot we had … but Rebecca organized a tour for us within one day and showed us severals interesting listings.

Due to Rebecca‘s experience, she selected a choice of very nice houses and at the end of the day … we did never expect this … we found our dream-house – an ocean view house with pool in Ojochal – within our price range. We visited the house the next day again and signed a pre-contract before we flew out back to Europe.

From this moment, Rebecca supported the whole purchase in a fantastic way … she recommended a lawyer, she brought us in contact with the escrow agency, she arranged the due diligence and checked all the stuff with the seller etc. We could arrange everything from home in Europe and during the whole process we felt really safe and well informed.
At the end of the day – thanks to Rebecca and her team – we owned our dream-house in CR and we are so happy to have chosen Osa Tropical Properties as our agency.
Pura vida

“Competent, calm, very hard working and caring”

Not sure where to begin……Marcia Oro came HIGHLY recommended by a fellow Canadian who had been traveling to the Ojochal area for 8 years. We, on the other hand, were “newbies” to the Southern Pacific Zone. During our vacation, Marcia graciously took us to 7 properties in the area. We returned to Canada with one house that we couldn’t get off of our minds…..and we decided to make an offer from Toronto! Marcia led us through the whole process: connecting us to lawyers, a home inspector, survey professionals, and property managers. Marcia is competent, calm, very hard working and caring. We really couldn’t have made this BIG decision without her and we are now the very happy owners of a home in Tres Rios!!!

Ann and Jeff

 

“Took really great care of us even while we were back in the US”

We purchased our vacation home in Costa Rica with the help of Rebecca Rowntree. She answered all our questions and made the whole experience a pleasant one. Rebecca was available every time we needed her, was professional and knowledgeable and took really great care of us even while we were back in the US. Even after the sale, she has helped us adjust to Costa Rican life and we consider her a treasured friend. We would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to live PURA VIDA! Thank You Rebecca!

Lance and Amber

 

“Our highest recommendation!”

Rebecca was amazing. There were some complex issues to resolve regarding our purchase and she was able to handle everyone. What could have easily been a disappointing outcome instead wound up being delightful and we could not be more pleased. I cannot imagine anyone working harder on one’s behalf, and to the satisfaction of both seller and buyer. Our highest recommendation.

Bob

“Thank you so much for all your help”

Thank you so much for all your help and hard work in getting this closing done.  I appreciate everything you’ve done for us with showing us around the area, finding this fantastic house, telling us about all of the things necessary for us to get a good start in the Ojochal area.  You are so awesome and honest and a great friend!

Thanks,

Chris and Anne

 

“Worked tirelessly with us”

“We felt we can trust her completely”

Sincere Gratitude from [the] family

We would like to thank you for Rebecca’s excellent effort toward buying our dreamland in Tres Rios (Osa Peninsula), Costa Rica.

Even if we read a few books about the process of buying land in Costa Rica, we knew from the beginning we didn’t have the ability to start the process without a trustworthy real estate Costa Rican representative.

After meeting with some of the top professional real estate agents in the region, we still hadn’t found the property of our dreams

On the last day of our stay in Costa Rica, we decided to stop by the Osa Tropical Properties (which was recommended to us by a restaurant owner in the region). This is where we met Rebecca, who was very kind and helpful from the beginning. After a short discussion at the office, she figured out exactly what we wanted and took us to see some properties in the region, even if we haven’t had any appointment scheduled with her. As a result, we fell in love (and eventually purchased) the very first property she showed us.

The communication with Rebecca was excellent from the beginning. Being Canadian, same as us, she responded promptly and in a professional manner. She was always available to us for any questions, she kept track of everything and we felt we can trust her completely. Rebecca knew all the details about the process of buying land in Costa Rica and she answered all of our questions (process, fees, etc).

We ended up buying the property Rebecca showed us when we met with her, process that was facilitated by her at the smallest detail (Offer writing, negotiation, introduction to the Legal Team, Escrow Team, order and follow up on the Due diligence process: Soil test, Survey, Closing the deal on our behalf, etc). Having Rebecca representing us was like we were actually there

We recommend Rebecca to anybody who wants to buy land in Costa Rica and we are looking forward to meeting her every time we visit Costa Rica.

We thank her for all the dedication, hard work and kindness

Anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Costa Rica would be lucky to have Marcia Oro on their side. Marcia is incredibly professional, conscientious, and knowledgeable in the Costa Rica housing market and we felt fortunate to have her representing us throughout the process. I always felt that Marcia had our best interests at heart and she strived to get the best results for us. She was very responsive to my many questions throughout the entire process. If you’re looking for a real estate agent to help you buy or sell a home in Costa Rica, look no further. Marcia is a great choice!

“Professionalism and attention to detail was key to the success we received”

Dear Marcia and Team:

We would like to thank you for your excellent effort towards the sale of our home in Ojochal Costa Rica. It was not an easy decision to sell paradise in such a beautiful country. Your professionalism and attention to detail was the key to the success we received.

We did not have a good knowledge of the rules and regulations of Costa Rica for selling property, so we needed a trustworthy person to help us and provide a reliable service. Marcia you supplied that to us with your experience in the Real Estate business and much more. I would recommend your services to anyone looking for an agent for buying or selling in the southern zone of Costa Rica.

Also we would like to give a big thanks to your team who did a wonderful job with the video of our property, it brought out the character of our home, and the ambiance of the area.

Best Regards

“Sincere gratitude”

We would like to express sincere gratitude to Marcia for selling our home.  We have not had the opportunity to meet Marcia in person yet, which meant all of the sale was done via phone calls and emails, and she was always available to us for any questions. We were pleased with the description, photos, drone video and overall representation of our house to potential buyers, and Marcia went above and beyond in showing our home.  She was valuable in offering advice and assistance with the sales process and despite a few challenges, kept everything on track for a successful sale.  Thank you very much!

We are really grateful for her patience in dealing with our endless questions and requests for help on just about everything.
She has been a rock for us.

“Outstanding services”

Dear everyone at Osa Tropical Properties,

Ron and I would like to thank you all, especial, our realtor JR, for the outstanding services in helping us to purchase our land. JR went above and beyond to make sure all paperwork was done and in a timely manner. Although, we had some setbacks, eventually, JR, made sure that our welfare came first. This was our first time purchasing property in Costa Rica, and definitely, we would work with JR and Osa Tropical Properties again.
Thank you all so much..

“Reliable, trustworthy and hardworking”

I first contacted Osa tropical Properties in August 2016. We were ready to sell our house in Ojochal, Osa, Costa Rica. My house listing was given to Rebecca Rowntree. She immediately took genuine interest in the property. A few days later, she went over to see the house and took pictures, gave me feedback and the next day she put the house on the market. Thanks to her soon our house was advertised on many different realtor websites. She and her team at OTP diligently look for potential buyers. In a little less than 4 months, we had an offer and 4 weeks later It was SOLD! Rebecca guided me throughout the process and answered all my inquiries promptly. At OTP they are reliable, trustworthy and hardworking. They did a terrific job with my house listing!

“We could trust you and count on you”

We want to thank you very much Kevin for all your help and guidance when we bought our beautiful lot in Tres Ríos. From the beginning, we felt that we could trust you and count on you. Your knowledge of the area and the locals are very valuable. You introduced us to a good architect who is about to finish the plans of our new home in Costa Rica, and we can´t wait to start the process of construction. Thanks to your professional and yet personal help and guidance you convinced us that it is actually possible to make our dream come true. Gracias por todo – te agradecemos montones.

Martin and Malene

 

“Quick to answer questions and help network”

Dear Marcia,

As we just sit back and wait for our wire to arrive, I wanted to send a huge thank you for your support in the purchase, management, and the sale of our property! We are so grateful to have had your help throughout our venture as it was not always easy or clear! You were always quick to answer questions and help network to find the services we needed!

We’ll be back again in the future as Costa Rica is still our retirement plan!!! (A curse or a blessing???)Thank you SO much!

Kelly and Russell

 

“Determination and persistence”

“Dedicated to working with us”

We highly recommend Marcia to anyone searching for property in the Ojochal (Osa) area.  We had specific ideas of what we were looking for in an income property and set ourselves a strict budget to work within. Over the course of several months, Marcia put together many tours of various existing and “potential” income properties.  After not finding something we felt was suitable, Marcia guided us to the option of building.  We were skeptical we would find a great lot and be able to build what we desired within our budget, however Marcia found a nice lot for us and recommended a wonderful local architect.  The lot deal is done and we are on our way to building our income property, opening Spring 2016.  Marcia is an excellent partner for the real estate journey.  She was really dedicated to working with us and facilitated numerous connections, which have helped enable our dream to become reality.

You went the extra mile for us, being always available with whatever help we needed at any hour. OTP is a well run, conveniently located office, where “the coffee is always on”. You made our search pleasantly do-able and we look forward to being your neighbor.

Warmest regards

“Exceptional”

Thank you Marcia. It has been a pleasure working with you. I feel very fortunate to have found such a professional to support our acquisition in Ojochal. Your work and that of Osa Tropical Properties was exceptional. Your referrals for related services were equally impressive.

“You did it! As promised!”

Marcia: You did it! As promised!  Thank you very much for selling our home for us and all of the work that you did in association with the sale.  We are most pleased and now ready to begin the next phase of our journey.  We found you to be professional, knowledgable and honest with your approach and all of our dealings. From the outset, when you phoned and asked if we wanted you to sell our house that particular day, we have felt that we were in very capable hands. During the process with it’s twists and turns of challenges you remained calm and put us at ease throughout. Your opinions and solutions kept on the same straight line as the balance of your approach.  We want to thank you for all of your hard work and efforts and wish you continued success in your endeavours.  Muchos Gracias!  Best Wishes

“Eased our mind tremendously”

Thank you Marcia, Kevin, and all involved.

We are pleased that you made the sale so comfortable for us.  It has been difficult to manage from this distance and we appreciate the efforts you have all made to help us.

The sale has eased our mind tremendously.  We opened a winery in December and have had more than enough to occupy our minds.  We miss the lovely weather and our house, but have enough to do that we can’t think about it much!  Pass the word to the Buyers that we hope they will enjoy their new home and that Costa Rica will fill them with happy times! Best to all

“Very helpful”

Last December my wife and I spent the month touring Costa Rica looking for a retirement property and we contacted Osa Tropical Properties.  Marcia Oro was very helpful to dial us into the property that suited our needs.  We looked at a few other places but this was the one for us.  We wasted no time in making an offer and Marcia introduced us to a local law firm who looked after all our needs.  Eduardo and his team at A & E Legal firm: eduardo@aelegalfirm.com were most friendly and thorough and took us through the process from offer to close without a hitch.  I must point out that my wife was still in Costa Rica while I was back in Vancouver Canada and still all transactions were completed on time.  Thanks so much to Marcia and the OSA Tropical Property group and to Eduardo and his team for turning our dream into reality.  This coming October we are heading to our new home for a 6 month winter retreat from the Canadian winter.  I would not hesitate to recommend Osa Tropical Properties to help you with your real estate needs and remember the southern Costa Rican area offers some of the most pristine and natural properties left.  I highly recommend this area.  Best Regards

“Truly a real professional”

Marcia Oro,

I just had to take the time to say Thank You once again for all you did to sell my house in Ojochal. You only had it listed for a few months, but with all your expert advise to Chuck and I, you Sold It. Your suggestions for staging really helped to make the home look neat and welcoming. You pointed out the main features of my home and made sure the customers noticed them. You are truly a real professional and any seller or buyer is lucky to have you working with them. I also believe this is why you have so many surrounding Realtors calling you to help them find appropriate properties. The staff at Osa was always very helpful when we had questions. We had a lot to learn about selling in Costa Rica and you guided us thru the entire process with such confidence, that it all went exceptionally well. We will certainly give you a 10+ and any referrals we can.

“Listened to our preferences”

After visiting Costa Rica in the summer of 2014, we decided to return to look for property a few months later. With only 4 days in the area, we contacted several agents to make sure we were able to see as many properties as possible.

Thankfully, one of them was Marcia Oro of Osa Tropical Properties. She listened to our preferences and created a well-organized itinerary of properties in our price range.

When we arrived, we spent a full morning driving through the mountains around Ojochal, viewing countless lots as Marcia shared information about the community and provided us with some advice and experiences of local expats. She really made us feel as though we had seen a wide variety of options, making our purchase decision much easier.

Throughout the purchase process, Marcia has also gone above and beyond. She continues to share her connections in the community to ease our transition to ownership. I would highly recommend Marica and the services of Osa Tropical Properties.

“A pleasure”

Working with you Marcia has been a pleasure. We were worried not being in the country how all of this was going to transpire but you and Kevin went far beyond the call of duty and made the sale of our house happen.

We thank you and would recommend your company Osa Tropical Properties to anyone selling or buying their home there. Thank you for everything
