Finding the right rental home or apartment can
be difficult. Recognizing the need for
assistance in this area, Casa Canada Group
created a database of available properties for
sale or rent in its real estate division. The
real estate department is located in the Casa
Canada Administration Building at the corner of
Ave. 4, Street (Calle) 40. The taxi address is
100 meters south of Hotel Parque del Lago.
Telephone 2222-1722.
The real estate division works with a network of
proven professional real estate companies, agents
and brokers in addition to its own sales staff. Once
a client’s requirements are known, properties
meeting the client’s criteria will be located and
shown to the client. Casa Canada Group will also
list properties for sale, advertising them in
newspapers, on its real estate web site and other
web sites, in El Residente magazine, through the
Association of Residents of Costa Rica and through
an affiliated network of mortgage companies and
brokers.
The ownership of real estate in Costa Rica is
guaranteed by the constitution for both citizens and
foreigners. Realtors do not need to be licensed, and
trust accounts for deposits do not exist as known in
North America. If you plan to purchase real estate
be certain you have a reputable realtor and lawyer.
Casa Canada Group and the Association of Residents
of Costa Rica can assist with recommendations for
both, and can arrange title insurance. This can be
important in a country where well over 100% of the
surface area is titled in the land registry office.
Casa Canada computers have access to the national
registry to access land title information.
Real estate can be a very good investment in
Costa Rica, and by using the professional property
management services of Casa Canada Group, rental and
holding properties can be profitable. Casa Canada
will ensure the property is guarded against
squatters, that taxes are paid, and that the title
to the property is not altered in the national
registry by checking it every week.
It must be stressed, however, that it is not like
buying real estate in the US or Canada. It is
essential that a good, honest realtor and a
knowledgeable lawyer be involved in the transaction
to ensure everything is as it appears to be, and
that all agreements by the seller are met. Real
estate scams operate in Costa Rica, and part of the
services of Casa Canada Group is to help people
avoid these pitfalls.
