Everything you need to know, that no one is telling you.
No Opinions Just Facts
The independent, verified authority on Costa Rica's Central Valley property, neighborhoods, and zones. The facts you need to inform your decision.
TITLE · TAXES · HOA HEALTH · PERMITS · NEIGHBORHOOD REALITY · LOCAL KNOW-HOW
Information is the starting point. Verification supports decisions.
A listing tells you what's for sale. An expat forum shares other people's experiences and opinions. Neither one checks the HOA's finances, confirms whether that addition was ever permitted, or tells you what daily life is actually like on that street. We do, independently, before you decide, not after.
Costa Rica has no title insurance. Due diligence is the buyer's only real protection, not a backup to some other safety net. Real estate here is also largely unregulated, no mandatory agent licensing, no legal fiduciary duty, which means the same agent can legally represent both sides of a single deal.
Buyers are routinely told to get independent representation. Very few independent options actually exist to do it. Whether a sale happens or not makes no difference to us, that's what makes the facts worth trusting.
A thirty-year Central Valley broker has said he's "hardly ever seen a buyer protected" against an underfunded HOA. Roughly four in five properties on the market here are condos or gated-community units carrying that exact risk.
Not a law firm, not a lender, not a concierge service. We don't take a commission or hold your funds.

Still choosing a neighborhood, no address yet, Area Edition. Found a property and want a fast check before you commit further, Records Edition. Ready to move forward and want the complete picture, HOA health, permits, an in-person site visit, Full Edition.
No. This is an independent verification based on the sources listed in the delivery manifest, not a legal opinion, and it doesn't guarantee the outcome of any transaction.
An optional quarterly update on what's changed across the zones we cover, driving and residency rules, carrier plans, notable local conditions. Opt in anytime, cancel anytime. It never covers anything about your specific property.
