It has been a long time since we have “spoken” to one another. The markets have been changing and I have been busy on several different projects, securing affiliates and improving our process in Costa Rica to ensure that our clients receive the best real estate offerings, the best service and the best experience when purchasing real estate in Costa Rica.
In this newsletter I’m going to outline several key projects, changes and highlights for you and provide a bit more detail as to what we have been working on since the last newsletter you received from me. Moving forward you will receive a monthly newsletter from Sol Property Group. Enjoy!
1) You may have noticed that there is a new logo and company name on this newsletter from previous ones. Sol Property Group, SRL, (SPG) is a company that I started with the help of several other key personnel. (sol = sun in Spanish) SPG is committed to providing clients who wish to purchase in Central America and the Caribbean the best in customer service – from travel planning to post-purchase follow up.

Sol Property Group is a Costa Rican based real estate company with partnerships throughout Central America and the Caribbean. We provide our customers with the highest level of service and make the purchase process – from trip planning, property selection, the closing and post-purchase property management - simple and easy. We only work with the most well-established firms and conducted numerous interviews to ensure our partnerships offer the same high level of quality service.
In today’s market many clients are not only looking at several types of property within a country – they are also looking at property in several countries. Sol Property Group alleviates the problem of having to try and find a reputable broker/agent in each country. Our network of real estate professionals will be available to you at almost all times of the day and with any budget. One of the highlighted properties we have has lots starting $19,900 with financing available.
We have made it easy to contact us with an online chat feature on all of our pages and the ability to call us on Skype. Also, we can call you back on Skype or any other number you wish.
You may notice on our website that we only list around a dozen properties per country. This is intentional. We have 100’s of other listings available. However, our experience has taught us that many clients are not sure exactly what they want when they start their search. We know it can be overwhelming to choose from thousands of properties with scant information and an agent’s opinion.
We make the process easier by starting off with a small questionnaire that we can ask over the phone or e-mail to you. During this 5 – 10 minute interview we will ask you some of the following questions:
a) What type of property you are interested in (condos, farms, houses, etc)?
b) What is more important – the type of property (beachfront) or the country where you want to own?
c) What are the most important decision factors for you? (temperature? Proximity to the ocean? Proximity to a large city? Certain amenities?)
d) What is your budget?
e) When do you plan on purchasing?
With these simple questions we can begin the process of finding the perfect piece of property for you. We will provide you with up to five property options based on your criteria. From there it all depends on your travel plans (we will assist you with that).
We have gone through the purchasing process ourselves and understand that at times our clients will have many questions. We patiently answer all questions and understand the importance of this decision for you and your family.
We look forward to helping you find your piece of paradise.
We have several travel agents on staff to ensure that your trip is hassle free. We can line up bi-lingual tour guides, airfare, hotel, rental cars (save 10% through National here), etc. Additionally, we routinely survey our clients after the trip to ask about their stay. What they liked and what they would recommend changing. We are constantly improving the travel and property visit experience.
2) The Village in San Buenas - Lots starting at $19,900 (click for more information)
There has been tremendous progress made to all phases of one of the largest projects in Costa Rica. Please contact us to see the progress of the first golf course in the Southern Pacific zone of Costa Rica.
We have lots starting at $19,900 with financing.
3) What’s going on in the Southern Zone?
I am still focused exclusively on Costa Rica. In calendar year 2008 I made eight trips to Costa Rica. So far in 2009, I’ve already made four trips to Costa Rica. I will be back down in Costa Rica in July and again in August.
Many of you have not been down to the Southern zone of Costa Rica in over a year. I wanted to show you the great progress taking place. Click here for some of the biggest changes from 2007 and 2008/2009. We are compiling 100's of photos taken over the past year to put in an easy to view format - we will update you on this in subsequent newsletters.
