Apart from being one of the master franchise owners for Coldwell Banker for the entire country and broker of his own office, Larry is a member of the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the ethics officer of the Costa Rica Global Association of Realtors (CRGAR), and has the NAR “Certified International Property Specialist” (CIPS) certification. He is one of the few in the country that are bound by standard ethical professionalism. He is a founder of the non-profit organization SalveMonos which helps area Howler Monkeys. He is also a founding member and former president of the Nandamojo Valley Chamber of Commerce. He continues his non-profit commitment by being a board member of Restoring Our Watershed - ROW. Larry has a wonderful wife and three amazing children from 13 to 28 years old. He first visited Costa Rica in 1997. He has been in Costa Rica for 20 years, full time and real estate is his career. Like for many of you, little by little his vacations to Costa Rica became longer and more frequent. After falling head over heels for an Argentine girl in the town he frequented he made the leap to move to Costa Rica. Through building and ownership of various small to small/medium companies in the United States, Larry was and is an expert in business management, which led him to sales and management of a local store in Tamarindo for a number of years. He was a serial investor in Costa Rica from the beginning by buying and selling properties then began working in a real estate office in Tamarindo. He stayed there for three years while building an independent brand. Larry has been with Coldwell Banker for almost seven years now. He researches the available properties and has weeded out the good from the bad. He is not a “hard seller”. In fact, he prefers to let the buyers sell themselves. His honor and passion have helped many make their future Costa Rican dreams a reality. It gives him great pleasure to turn clients into neighbors.

I have some sense of how busy Scott Bowers is but we always felt we had your full attention whenever we needed it and Scott Bowers never rushed us. Making such a large decision from Canada had the potential to go sideways in countless ways. Scott Bowers always kept us on track and found answers to our many questions. Scott Bowers helped us bridge the language issues, especially the definition of “furnished”! Cheers and pura vida

Moving to a new country can never be easy but after meeting Dylan, I found my perfect home. I have a long relationship with Coldwell Banker and so when I decided I wanted to purchase a home in Costa Rica I contacted my local Coldwell Banker agent and she introduced me to Dylan. Dylan is a great agent, he took the time to educate me about the area I was interested in and provided me with the information I needed to purchase my new home. Even after purchase he provided me with assistance on making my hew house my new home. I highly recommend Dylan as an agent here in Costa Rica. He is knowledgeable about all the issues of purchasing a home in Costa Rica and is able to share his knowledge with you so that you can make an informed decision. He is personable, attentive and highly respected by other agents in the area. I highly recommend Dylan and I know you will be well pleased with using him as your agent here in Costa Rica. Pura Vida!

Daveed Hollander served as my real estate broker and helped me successfully sell three luxury properties over the past several years. His knowledge of the marketplace and experience in the area, professionalism, and responsiveness back by a great team were all outstanding. If you are looking to sell or buy, I would strongly recommend Daveed and his Coldwell Banker team.

Scott Bowers helped us to purchase our house in Costa Rica. Scott was very responsive and specific, always answering the phone, or returning phone calls right away. He is a very nice person to work with and he was very professional and amiable when showing us the properties while we were in the country. He helped us to negotiate the deal on the property we have selected and also introduced us to a local RE attorney and assisted us in preparing documents needed to finalize the transaction while we were back in the USA. He provided help with things substantially above and beyond his responsibilities as a RE agent, such as setting up a bank account in CR. His book, “The Definitive Guide to Costa Rica Expat Living”, is a must read for anybody thinking about RE in Costa Rica. I strongly recommend him.

I had the pleasure of working with Dylan to find my perfect property in Costa Rica. Dylan is very detail-oriented and found exactly what I wanted. He has many great contacts from attorneys, craftsmen to the best places to eat! What a great family! Friends for life! P.S. Thanks for the surfing lessons.
