Costa Rica Investor
Retained Property Search
We are truly living through historic times…
Events are occurring throughout the world that will cause some to shrink back while the more adventurous grow forward…
Which will you be?
As fas as Costa Rica goes, we are fairly insulated from the political turmoil. The Costa Rican government has gained worldwide respect for how it has handled COVID-19…
Nevertheless, there will be economic fallout, especially in the travel industry. This will give rise to opportunities, but only for those with enough vision to see light at the end of the tunnel…

The Opportunity That Is Costa Rica…
What makes Costa Rica special is clearly reflected in the percentage of worldwide travelers arriving each year. A percentage that has been increasing in the last couple of decades, doubling from 1.6 million in 2005 to over 3 million in 2019…
Costa Rica possesses unique biodiversity, in terms of flora, fauna, and geography. Even more importantly, is the quality of its people, the ticos, rated on some of the happiest humans on the planet.
Costa Rica’s travel industry has become one of its most important sources of income and growth, accounting for around 8% of its total gross domestic product…
This COVID-10 pandemic has indeed taken its toll on the industry, like it has in virtually all countries of the world with vibrant tourism industries…
But, the problem is only temporary and Costa Rica will quickly recover without ever having lost its prestige and position as one of the top tourism locations in Latin American and indeed the entire world…
The opportunity is now, perhaps more than ever before, for the astute Costa Rica investor to have his or her eyes on the opportunity that is Costa Rica…

See what our customers are saying…
Scott helped us with the complicated process of buying in a foreign country. Thanks to him the process was smooth and pretty fast.
Grace and Peter Borowiak
No pressure, just a good old fashioned, get to know you and the things you like, kind of setting for our home search.
More than willing to assist with closing details if you happen to be out of country leading up to the sale. Thank you Scott!
Steve and Rhonda Gilkey
One day I inquired about one of Scott’s listings on his website and the rest is history. His immense knowledge of the local area, diligent and professional work got us successfully to the closing table.
Ilana Goldstein-Hunt
Scott also helped me with the sale, finding the lawyer, the survey company, escrow and answered my numerous questions. He went above and beyond. So if you’re going to the southern part of Costa Rica or looking to buy then I highly recommend Scott Bowers.
Angela Spraakman-Weed
Scott helped me thru the process, with the escrow company, we even closed early. I consider Scott a good friend. He is from the USA, but is a strong advocate for Costa Rica.
