Seller FAQ
Common Seller Questions
Do I need to be in Costa Rica to sell my property?
No. You can grant power of attorney (Poder Especial) to your attorney, who will sign all documents on your behalf. Many sellers complete the entire process remotely.
How long does it take to sell in Costa Rica?
Well-priced properties with professional marketing typically sell within 60–90 days. Unique or luxury properties may take 3–6 months depending on the buyer pool.
What are the seller's costs at closing?
Sellers typically pay the real estate commission (typically 5–6% in Costa Rica), plus any back taxes or fees on the property. There is no capital gains tax on property sales.
Can I sell if I'm not a Costa Rica resident?
Absolutely. Non-residents sell Costa Rica property all the time. You'll need a valid ID, a Costa Rican attorney to handle the deed, and a bank account to receive proceeds.
How is the sale price determined?
We conduct a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) using recent sales of similar properties in the area, current active listings, and market trends. We recommend a price that maximizes value while attracting serious buyers.
