Comment on How Do I Obtain Realtor Licence in Costa Rica as a Citizen? by tico times directory

You do not have to be a resident or citizen; anyone can open up a real estate business in CR. And because of this agents are a dime a dozen. All you need is something to sell, lease or buy (and of course money) and you don’t even need a sign on the door that you are a real estate agent. No permits, schooling or business license is required; however, it is recommended that if there are some local classes on CR real estate, take one.

If you plan to get into the market, it is best to get a good attorney, to make sure the title is clear. Many agents are scam artists and titles have been forged since there is no regulating agency as there is in the US. And make sure if you do work for someone that you establish a contract on commissions, which is between 4-8%.

For more info, this company (http://www.realestatecostarica.com owned by an American) has been dealing in real estate and the sports fishing business for over 25 years, they can answer any additional questions you have. They will tell you it is very competitive market and they get inquires all the time for people looking for a real estate jobs.

I just returned from Costa Rica on Wed., the weather really does depend on what part of the country you are going to. It is very HOT and the time of the year you will be there will be the rainy season. It will rain approx. 400 inches in 6 months, rain will come in the late afternoon. Culture is beautiful, the people (called ticos) love everyone. The only crime problem they have is petty thieft, so do not leave valuables in cars or walk away from your bags. Food is great, abundance of seafood, ceviche, pork is top knotch, eggs have a bright orange yolk not yellow and you will barley be able to find yellow lemons anywhere. I love it there and plan to move someday, it really is like paridise!! Enjoy your trip and "pura vida" as the ticos would say!!!

I just blogged about this same subject with an entry on 01/23/07 that answers your question. Text:

I have been shopping airline ticket deals for our move to Costa Rica ever since returning from our December visit.

My only hard rule is that I will NOT fly Mexicana Airlines because I can’t take another Mexicana anal probing in this lifetime.

Several weeks ago my friend John and Costa Rica home owner suggested I watch Spirit Airlines for good ticket deals to Costa Rica. I subsequently joined the Spirit Airlines $9 Fare Club and the Spirit Airlines E-mail Specials subscription service.

Today I received my Spirit Airlines E-mail Specials promotion listing $109.00 tickets from Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) to San Jose, Costa Rica Juan Santamaria International Airport (SJO) … so we’re booked!!!

On Sunday, February 24th (02/24/08) we arrive in San Jose, Costa Rica at 1:15 pm via Spirit Airlines. Just in-time for lunch in the Central Valley!

Hope you find this information usefull!

¡Pura Vida!
