Regional Tour Specializations: Where to Focus Your Investment
Independent property hunting in Costa Rica leads to expensive errors that professional tours prevent. Foreign buyers without local guidance typically overpay by 15-25% on property purchases, while missing critical due diligence issues that surface during the legal process.
Common costly mistakes include:
- Purchasing in maritime zones without understanding concession requirements
- Buying properties with water access issues or utility complications
- Overpaying for properties due to lack of market comparables
- Missing environmental restrictions that limit development potential
- Failing to structure ownership properly for tax optimization
A $3,000 investment in a professional tour typically saves buyers $25,000-$75,000 through better property selection, superior negotiation positioning, and proper legal structuring from the start.

An Amazing First Visit to Costa Rica
This was my first trip to Costa Rica. I am thinking about relocating there due to the political situation in the United States. On our first full day in Costa Rica, we met up with Daniel Hernandez, who spent the day with us and showed us the Central Valley. Daniel was very professional, patient and accommodating the entire day as well as very knowledgeable about the areas we visited. Atenas, Escazu, Santa Ana and Colon were some of the areas we visited. I have only positive things to say about our day with Daniel. I do feel that I need to go back and learn even more about the areas on the west side of San Jose’. I would like to see a one-bedroom apartment that is for rent for example and spend some time just experiencing what living is like in that area. I plan to come back in Feb. or March of 2025 and hope I get to see Daniel again. He did an excellent job!
