Why Grupo Tropigala
The concept behind www.grupotropigala.com was created to be a trusted conduit between property owners and developers in Costa Rica with interested buyers in North America and the world.
Our motivation is beyond just selling, it is providing the best information from reliable sources who will ensure every transaction for which we are apart is done, not only legally but ethically.
After meeting Marcela Fernandez and Eliza Fernandez, I knew I could achieve this goal.
Soon after, I met the hardest working real estate agent in all of Costa Rica, Lana Taal, who’s many years in the Costa Rica real estate market secured all of our current inventory and more to come.

OUR PURPOSE
Keeping things simple and transparent is a great principle to live by and to do business with. It’s even better when you have a team of experts that share those same values.
Start with honest and unselfish principles and organically only work with those for whom you share common values: I was so fortunate to find an expert engineer/inspector of all things construction water and mineral rights,(Eliza) as well as an independent real estate attorney to oversee the buyer’s side of the transaction (Marcela) and you have all the ingredients for a smooth purchase. In addition the very next day, I meet the hardest working listing agent in all of Costa Rica, Lana Taal, with her vast network of contacts, engineers, architects and property owners. We always seek investors and joint venture opportunists who share our values and are passionate about Costa Rica.
Transparency and service in real estate means doing our best for both sides of each transaction, which means clear communication and expectations. Real estate can be a challenging experience in any country and that difficulty can seem even more confusing when purchasing in another country. InLovewithCostaRica.com was created to provide the solution for safely purchasing property in Costa Rica for both for the seller and buyer.
Costa Rica does not have an official multiple listing service but Property Shelf is a very close substitute.
There is a legal process for real estate transactions for everyone, including non-citizens. For that legal expertise, we have two legal partners of impeccable credentials, Marcela and Eliza.
My remarkable fortune of connecting with these two talented professionals who work in both the US and Costa Rica, is now your remarkable fortune for purchasing Costa Rican property.
Costa Rica offers most of the same essentials and pleasures we are used to in the US. There are Walmart’s, Starbucks, and plenty of gas stations just not one on every corner, but that is part of what makes Costa Rica so special. It’s natural and raw yet refined and cultured.
Cell service is extremely good and reliable, roads are excellent although most in rural areas are two-lane and can be slow sometimes.
On a rural road, you may pass an expensive luxury car or a man on a horse, which is another example of the charm of this country. And mentioning driving, utilizing the WAZE app, you can’t get lost, whether driving to the far reaches of Montverde or downtown and congested San Jose. Do I sound like I love this place?
Living in Costa Rica, as beautiful and peaceful as it is, is not for everyone, but for those of us who have spent any time here understand it has its own unique gravitational pull like no other country in the world. If we can be of service, including immigration/residency assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us via WhatsApp or our contact page.
