I am interested in a piece of property in Dos Brazos, in the OSA. I understand that the town is in the Reserva Forestal Golfo Dulce. I also understand that there is no title to this property and that I'm buying time not title. Can you perhaps direct me to further resorces so that I can understand what I'm looking at and avoid a pit fall, or should I just stay clear??? Season Greetings! Richard

In response to: White Collar Stealing Does Not Require a Gun Thu, 08 Dec 2024 00:34:04 +0000 c86@http://crexpertise.info Dear Sir, Thank heaven we found your site! We are retiring to Costa Rica and want to purchase residenial property. We have been working with a real estate group "costaricapropertysa.com" in Palmares.And thought we had found our "Paradise", but due to some decrepanies in our agreements we have slowed down our active pursuit due to a caution flag we have incountered. Do you have any information about this group. We want to buy property to have full ownership,use of property, and tax clear. Any information you can give us to arm ourselves for a clean purchase would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance for helping new comers get fair treatment when buying property. Again, any info is needed. Jan Thank heaven we found your site!

In response to: A Checklist to Stay Out of Real Estate Trouble Sat, 08 Oct 2024 21:03:50 +0000 c36@http://crexpertise.info Title transfer tax is 1.5% of the property value, that is, the price of the purchase, or the fiscal value, whichever is HIGHER. There are also stamps to be paid for recording a title transfer or mortgage. I advise my clients to obtain a Title Guarantee when they can afford it, as it gives them extra protection, and adds value. It is not illegal in Costa Rica. http://crexpertise.info/index.php?title=a_checklist_to_stay_out_of_real_estate_t&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1#c36 In response to: A Checklist to Stay Out of Real Estate Trouble Wed, 05 Oct 2024 06:09:00 +0000 c35@http://crexpertise.info Dear Sir, I do not believe in title insurance in Costa Rica. Theoretically, all the title insurance companies are illegal because Costa Rica has a governmentally owned insurance monopoly. More importantly, the contracts of title insurance are so restrictive in Costa Rica, I know no one ever receiving money on a claim. Title insurance is something popular in other countries and is sold here to people who just have to have it because of their beliefs coming from somewhere else. There are better and cheaper ways to protect your property in Costa Rica. Read post http://crexpertise.info/index.php?p=43&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1#more43 Garland M Baker.
