Real Estate
The Costa Rican housing market in Guanacaste is experiencing significant demand and activity. With its attractive climate, natural beauty, and ecotourism appeal, Guanacaste's real estate market is currently thriving, offering various opportunities for buyers and investors

Working with credentialed and registered agents who are in good standing with both CRGAR (Costa Rican Global Association of Realtors) and SUGEF (Superintendencia General de Entidades Financieras or in English... Financial Institution Superintendency) is crucial. They offer expertise, adhere to ethical standards, and provide reliable guidance for navigating the Costa Rican real estate market. Choosing reputable professionals ensures a trustworthy and secure real estate experience.
Additionally, working with licensed and ethical builders and developers is vital. Unlicensed and unethical building practices have detrimental and irreversible impacts on local communities and the environment. Costa Rica's reputation as an ecological and ecotourism destination relies on responsible construction that respects sustainability and preserves natural resources for future generations.

The Murrays (my family), a family of five, sought a change after the pandemic disrupted our busy American lives. Despite having the "American Dream," we felt unfulfilled and craved more quality time together. When my wife Rebecca proposed moving to Costa Rica, we embraced the idea, sold much of our possessions, and started a business, Mango Baby Beach to provide a needed service in our new home. We fell in love with Costa Rica and are excited to share the country's beauty and provide exceptional service. Pura Vida!
