Lisle Head


Agent's Company: Affiliate Member of American-European Group
Agent City: Central Pacific Beaches
Neighborhood: Jaco Beach
About this Agent:
Lisle Head has been a real estate agent in Jaco Beach and surrounding areas for quite a while now and is the American European Real Estate Group's affiliate member for the Central Pacific beach area. Lisle works Jaco beach, Punta Leona, Hermosa Beach, Herradura Beach and some other smaller beaches in the Central Pacific.


Full Details:
One of the best aspects of Jaco Beach real estate is that the area has been regulated marvelously in terms of civil engineering and planned development -- certainly more so than other parts of the country.

For instance, the resident neighborhood and planning committee takes into consideration things like height, environmental damage, water shortages, road hazards, and safety that are so intrinsic to Jaco before allowing developers to wreak havoc in the area.

High rise condos are restricted in maritime areas of Jaco Beach real estate, so most of the options are beach villas, cottages and hotel-size structures. Doing so intentionally encourages a low density of population, allowing all the community members to spread out comfortably.

Jaco Beach won the 2007 World Travel award for "Central America's Best Beach". With new developments always afoot, newcomers will discover brand new Jaco real estate properties, including many luxurious rentals.

The time to invest is NOW! With the construction of a major highway connecting San Jose to Caldera pacific port (cutting the time to the airport from 2˝ hours to 1), this area is on its way to becoming a hot bed for tourist and resettlement activity.

Moving to Costa Rica with three young children under the age of four was in itself a noteworthy feat. Successfully owning and managing a large restaurant with a handful of employees and new customs and laws was another important achievement.

Full Details:
Patrick has been serving Costa Rica real estate for the past 15 years.

We feel that his strength is the customer service he provides. Rather than just push a few select properties to any and all customers, he instead asks the customer to paint him a picture of their ideal property.

He then does an exhaustive search to find that property for you. If they don't have it in their own database, they are not afraid to turn to other realtors to aid in the search.

Their mission is to help the customers find, purchase and enjoy the best property for their needs at the best price. Patrick offers consulting before, during and after the sale in the areas needed so this can happen. He goes the extra mile to make the customers' involvement in Costa Rica and the purchasing of land here risk-free and hassle-free.

Patrick does not see a client as an opportunity to "make a sale". Instead, he strives to develop lasting relationships of trust. He measures his success by the number of customers who come back time and time again seeking his assistance with their assorted real estate-related needs.
