ACRE International Real Estate Advisory
INTERNATIONAL BUYER ADVISORY

Are you looking to
buy a home in Costa Rica?

Acre is a boutique real estate acquisition and advisory firm for international buyers pursuing exceptional residential property in Costa Rica, typically above US$1M. We bring the property, professionals and process together through one trusted local team.

01 — The Firm

One team for
the entire acquisition.

Buying property in another country should not require you to build a team from scratch. Acre acts as the buyer’s local team in Costa Rica, coordinating the people, information, property and processes required to move an acquisition forward.

Boutique by design. Focused on significant acquisitions. Built around the international buyer.

02 — The Client

A deliberately
narrow mandate.

Acre focuses on international buyers pursuing high-value residential acquisitions in Costa Rica, generally above US$1M. Our clients may be looking for a primary residence, second home, family retreat, luxury estate or a significant residential investment.

We are not built for volume. We are built for attention, discretion and involvement in each acquisition.
03 — Discovery & Sourcing

The right property.
Not simply the next listing.

We begin with the buyer: objectives, lifestyle, preferred location, budget, timeline and long-term intentions. From there, Acre identifies and curates opportunities that genuinely fit the mandate rather than simply presenting everything on the market.

Our reach can extend across local brokers, owners, developers and privately sourced opportunities, depending on the mandate.
04 — Advisory & Representation

Your interests,
represented in Costa Rica.

Acre provides local-market guidance throughout the decision. We help the buyer evaluate the property, location, pricing, opportunity and practical realities of ownership, then remain involved when the property becomes a serious acquisition.

We support communication, negotiations, information gathering and transaction coordination from the buyer’s side.
05 — The Professional Network

The buyer should not
have to build the team.

One of Acre’s central roles is coordinating the specialized professionals required by the transaction. The exact team changes according to the property, but the buyer does not have to assemble and manage that network alone.

01

Attorneys and notaries for the legal and closing side of the acquisition.

02

Accountants and tax professionals for relevant financial and tax matters.

03

Banking and financial contacts for the process surrounding funds and acquisition requirements.

04

Engineers, architects, inspectors and technical specialists when the property requires deeper review.

05

Insurance, contractors, property managers and local service providers for the ownership side.

Acre coordinates the network. Each specialist remains responsible for the professional work within their field.

06 — Due Diligence

Understand what
you are actually buying.

Before capital moves, Acre coordinates the appropriate legal and technical review for the property. The objective is to identify relevant issues, understand the transaction and give the buyer the information needed to make an informed decision.

Legal Title, ownership, liens, permits, contracts and relevant documentation.
Property Physical condition, systems and property-specific technical considerations.
Planning Relevant architectural, engineering or development considerations where applicable.
Value Pricing, negotiation considerations and the broader opportunity.
07 — Banking & Closing

From offer
to ownership.

Once the buyer decides to move forward, Acre coordinates the moving pieces required to complete the acquisition — including professional communication, banking coordination, documentation, funds, insurance where relevant and closing logistics.

Property. Representation. Legal. Technical. Banking. Closing. One integrated acquisition process.

08 — Beyond the Acquisition

Buying the property
is only the beginning.

For an international owner, taking ownership in Costa Rica can create an entirely new set of local needs. Acre can remain a trusted point of contact and coordinate the professionals required to help operate, maintain and improve the property.

Management Property management and ongoing local coordination.
Maintenance Repairs, contractors and recurring property needs.
Home Landscaping, pool, cleaning, security and local services.
Renovation Architects, engineers and construction professionals when needed.
Rental Coordination with relevant rental and hospitality providers where applicable.

From finding the property to owning it in Costa Rica.
