protecting your property
One of the greatest concerns of purchasing real estate in a foreign country is to ensure that the transaction will be executed legally. The Costa Rican legal system, if followed correctly, does give ample protection to buyers, but if the transaction is not executed properly, loss can and does occur.

To guarantee the security of any real estate investment, there are some tools that should be present in any real estate transaction.



Adequate legal representation and experienced Notary
While a notary's primary duty is to provide Public Faith to a transaction, his/her job is also to act as the legal representative of the buyer, providing legal advice and representation throughout the process.

The Real Estate Desk can provide independent legal representation with our own English speaking lawyer, who is specialized in Real Estate transactions and can act both as your Notary and Escrow Agent.
