Customers' Comments

Read what a few of our clients have to say about our expertise.

…I also wanted to make a note about Rico Realty (Jimmy and Rene Aoki), as we currently have our property listed with them. I must stress that they have the highest levels of honesty and integrity and would represent you in a very professional way. I have known them for over 12 years and when it came time to choose a team to represent our property, we chose them. They are absolutely the best real estate broker in the Lake Arenal area…

As an early (1995) client of Rico Realty, I found their services to be entirely satisfactory.  It is a professional, competent and highly energetic enterprise. I recommend Rico Realty to anyone considering real estate activity in Costa Rica.

I have lived in Costa Rica for nine years, and in my opinion the only real estate firm worth dealing with is [RE/MAX] RICO REALTY. They will stay with you through the entire purchase, and make sure you are totally satisfied with your new home, as I am. If you should encounter any problems of any kind they will be there for you. I could go on and on but the point is RICO REALTY is the very best. JIM and RENE will be with you through the whole process.

The crew at [RE/MAX] Rico Realty is the BEST! During our search for property they must have shown us 50 different farms and houses before we finally made up our minds, two years running day after day for three weeks they cheerfully gave up their time to ferry us around the countryside and walk still another property.

We have now done various transactions with them and all have gone extremely smoothly. They helped us set up our corporation, get our bank account, telephone etc. They keep up to date with the almost daily changes in Costa Rican law and even more important, they know every property they show and will be sure that you know both the pros and cons of the property you are considering before you commit to a purchase. Jim, Rene and Elisabeth are some of the nicest and most ethical people we know and have made our move to Costa Rica an easy transition.

Since 2005 we have had the pleasure of knowing and working with beautiful, knowledgeable, and hard-working people at [RE/MAX] RICO REALTY for all our real estate matters and more.  THANK YOU JIM, RENE AND ELISABETH FOR YOUR CONTINUAL HELP.
