The Advantage of a True Local

In an area popular with international buyers, Michelle’s background as a lifelong resident of Jacó is her most powerful asset. She doesn't just sell properties; she introduces clients to the rhythm of Pura Vida living, from the best local surf breaks and jungle hikes to where to find the most authentic dining. This intimate local knowledge is invaluable for buyers navigating a foreign market. Michelle’s clients don't just get a property tour; they get a personalized orientation to life in Jacó, which is crucial for those planning to retire, invest, or relocate.

A Foundation in Finance and Service

Michelle’s professional journey before real estate laid the groundwork for her success today. Her background in accounting and customer service ensures that her client relationships are built on both warmth and professional diligence.

  • Client-First Approach: Her customer service background translates into a highly attentive and personalized experience, where going "above and beyond" for a client is the standard, not the exception.

Navigating the Jacó Market

Jacó's real estate market is currently one of the most dynamic in Costa Rica, driven by strong international demand—especially for luxury condos, vacation rentals, and properties with rental income potential. Michelle is an expert in this Central Pacific niche, serving not just Jacó but the surrounding beach communities like Playa Hermosa and Herradura. For international buyers, she provides a critical bridge: she is fully bilingual and adept at simplifying the intricacies of Costa Rican property law and closing processes.

Client-Centric Success

Michelle's dedication to her clients is consistently highlighted in her testimonials. Feedback often points to her as someone who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely kind.

One common theme is her ability to secure the ideal property while exceeding expectations. As one satisfied client noted, Michelle was instrumental in not only helping them find the perfect home but also in "negotiating on our behalf with skill and care, securing a deal that not only met but exceeded our expectations, saving us money in the process."

I have been traveling to CR over the past 18 years. My dream was to own a secondary property in CR and on my past trip in Jaco, David made that dream come true. We only had two days to meet with David, he lead us on the right path, listened to our demands and wants, found us the right property and 30 days later, he got the deal done. I could not be happier with his services and our new friendship. Not only did he find us the right "play", but he helped with property management, construction/remodeling aspects, and his wife Melissa is an absolute gem, and they our a great team when is comes to design and remodeling consultants. I highly recommend David for his services, professionalism, and honesty If your interested in buying real estate in CR, please connect with him and you won't be disappointed!

As a prospective buyer, I consulted with David regarding the local property market, potential challenges as an international second home buyer, as well as specific property details and closing process. David also connected me with his network of professionals such as real estate lawyer. A typical realtor will focus on closing the deal. What sets David apart is truly a consultative trust based approach whereby I felt totally comfortable in the advice and guidance I was getting. I always felt that David has my interest above and beyond his own commercial interest. I truly believe having David on your side is a great start for any prospective buyer or seller.

Once I contacted David Karr about buying a house in Costa Rica, he never gave up. When we arrived in Costa Rica, he had made arrangements to meet with Chris and Joy Gillard since David was out of town. Believe me! They listened and found us our dream home! Chris and Joy were more than realtors, they have so much knowledge about Costa Rica and we now consider them our friends.
I’m so glad they took us seriously and stayed in touch! Thank you so much for continued advice and assistance after the sale! We couldn’t have done this without this team!’
