It is an open secret in Costa Rica: there is one price for locals, and another for foreigners. When you try to manage a renovation or repair from the US, you are almost certainly paying the 'Gringo Price.'
The Cost of Remote Management
Without a trusted local representative, you lack leverage. Contractors know you cannot inspect the work immediately, leading to inflated invoices and subpar materials. A $500 plumbing job quickly becomes a $1,500 emergency.
The Signature Network
We have spent years building relationships with reliable vendors in Nosara and Santa Teresa. Because we manage multiple high-end properties, we command bulk pricing and priority service.
- Strict Bidding: We get three quotes for major repairs.
- Material Verification: We check receipts to ensure you aren't paying for premium materials while receiving generic ones.
- On-Site Supervision: We stand over the shoulder of the contractor to ensure the billable hours are real.
Stop overpaying for maintenance. Let us audit your vendor contracts.
