I thought Christina Essabba was a very knowledgeable agent throughout my transaction and new home build in Tamarindo. She was great to work with and helped me navigate a handful of delays with the builder effectively. she is a good communicator, and I would not hesitate to refer her to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home in the Tamarindo area.

Dan Williams and Julia Henkel of Coldwell Banker Tamarindo Costa Rica were extremely helpful to my husband and I with our search and eventual purchase of a property in Tamarindo. Julia was readily available to show us properties during our stay in town, accommodating our schedule and providing great advice.
Dan and Julia were so helpful in providing guidance with negotiations as well as connecting us with the right home inspector and legal representation. As first time buyers in Costa Rica we are very thankful for their service and would certainly recommend them to others.

We had a phenomenal experience with Katy and her team at Coldwell Real Estate. We first met Richard, the Broker in Charge, years prior when in Costa Rica. He maintained contact with us from the US and was extremely helpful, especially through his YouTube videos.

He recommended Katy and Larry as our agents, and they were phenomenal. Katy spent the entire day showing us homes and was upbeat and energetic without being pushy. We saw homes from Tamarindo to Avellana. They patiently guided us through every step of the process, making sure we always had the information we needed to understand the international purchasing process. They always responded quickly. Katy explained the pros and cons of different areas, pricing, construction standards, and understanding due diligence processes. We felt at ease and not pressured when we didn't find anything on the first day.

After finding a home, the team showed their true value. Katy explained cultural differences to manage our expectations, inspection process, the banking process, and what to prepare for when opening an account. She explained how grocery stores differ from the US, recommended restaurants, and places to shop for things like furniture. She also explained residency and citizenship, the process, and how to move your home into the country when moving. Katy provided a wealth of information.

We really could not have done it without them, and we are excited to call them our friends and neighbors!

Julia was a delight a to work with! I contacted Julia to inquire about one of her listings I viewed on the CB website. Julia immediately replied and while that house was just sold, Julia made herself readily available to show me others….20 other houses to be exact within 2 months! Hard-working and dedicated, Julia listened to my real estate desires, tirelessly searching until she found the property that ticked all the boxes- my dream home! Julia is smart, savvy and sharp - she cares about her clientele and finding the RIGHT house, not just A house. Thank you Julia!!!

I worked with Christina over a year to find my dream home. Not only did we find my dream home & some, but she was an absolute pleasure to work with the entire duration of my dream home hunt. She really knows what she's doing and can gauge the best for you and is honest about any callouts she sees along the way. It helps she knows the area so well too. Grateful to have worked with her. Can't recommend her (and her awesome team) enough.

When I decided to buy a house in Costa Rica, I found Dan Williams of Caldwell Banker online. Before I arrived in Tamarindo for the house hunt, Dan began giving me straightforward guidance that would later prove invaluable during the buying process. He was always more interested in helping me to make good decisions than in making a sale. Dan knew the Costa Rican real estate laws and market, which was invaluable every step of the way. Even after the closing, Dan continues to be willing to help me in my new role as a property owner in Costa Rica. I highly recommend Dan Williams if you are looking for a solid real estate professional.

We hadn’t planned on buying a property in Costa Rica! While searching for a month’s rental in Tamarindo, we discovered a home for sale in our ideal location. Excited about the possibility of buying, we needed guidance. We Googled, “best real estate agent in Tamarindo” and that’s how we found Dan Williams from Coldwell Banker. As long-distance buyers from Canada, we had numerous questions and concerns. Dan spent an initial hour with us over Zoom, realistically explaining real estate purchase in Costa Rica. When we decided to take the plunge and buy, Dan expertly guided us step by step through the process – negotiations, due diligence, home inspection, legal paperwork, and more. Dan found us an experienced real estate lawyer and also provided a list of recommended property managers. His assistant Julia was also very helpful. We highly recommend Dan and his team to anyone looking for real estate in Tamarindo!
