Hello Jogi, Verena and Mark, Thank you so much for driving to our house yesterday. For once in Costa Rica, I felt like I was dealing with some professional agents.
-Silvie Gaillard

ABC Real Estate gets an A+++ rating. The ABC team and particularly Betsy were professional, knowledgable, and made efficient use of our time in Samara.  They were prompt and beyond helpful.  Betsy facilitated all of the negotiations flawlessly. The personal service was beyond any expectations we could have had dealing in a foreign country. The transaction could not have been easier. We value our relationship with ABC and cannot wait to get back down to Samara to see our new friends at ABC Real Estate!
-Brenda Elder from the United States

We felt our agent gave us the appropriate amount of time to close the deal from the states, kept us informed, and was very professional and pleasant to work with. We appreciated the quick responsiveness of our Agent and the willingness to go a step further then we expected.  We are still in contact with ABC. We have used ABC to set up lot maintenance, such as clearing the overgrown brush as well as putting up a fence around our lot. ABC came highly recommended to us and we would do the same.
- Mike and Cori Van Allen from the United States

My experience with ABC was very good and I would recommend them to anybody.  I would also use them again. What I really liked was their directness and honesty.
- E.M. from the United States

You guys are very professional and knowledgeable about what you do. I would do business with you again and also would recommend you to others. Hope to see you soon!
-Michele Moore from the United States

What I do like about dealing with ABC is, support and assistance, teamwork, knowledge of the area and market, continuity, and follow up assistance.
-Marshall Knight from the United States

I purchased a wonderful piece of property from ABC Real Estate last year, and would highly recommend them. I had met with several other rental agents in Costa Rica, and was very pleased with the service and the people at ABC. Jogi was knowledgeable about the issues of Americans buying property in Costa Rica. He listened to my needs, and showed only property that met the criteria. He was friendly, and very helpful. They are exceptionally professional!
- Kathleen Fowler from Houston, Texas

L' affare e' stato conveniente, veloce e senza problemi chiarezza, professionalita' e competenza sicuramente se vorremo investire ancora a Tamarindo ci rivolgeremo a voi.
- Armando Ciarlariello, Italia

We have had a very professional experience in buying property with ABC and would recommend them to anyone. They handled the showing of properties with ease and the closing very efficiently. We liked dealing with ABC because they had personal representatives who were not pushy and went the extra mile to serve our needs and stay within our budget. We would definitely deal with ABC again and also recommend ABC to others looking to buy or sell property.
- Bonnie and Jack from New York

In general my experience with ABC and in particular Jogi was a good one. Jogi took his time to explain things to me about buying land in Costa Rica. He also explained to me about Tamarindo and the surrounding area. I talked with several people and mentioned Jogi to them and they all said the same thing, "He is a good guy." No question is a dumb one and I appreciated that. I liked that it is easy to get in touch with them and they send prompt responses to questions. Business gets taken care of quickly. Definitely, I would you deal again with ABC or recommend them to others in the future. I feel as though I can trust ABC and Jogi.
- Ted E. from USA

Our experience has been excellent. Even though we dealt with various people, it was Mr. Juergen -Jogi- Gerner with whom we have concluded real estate deals. Mr. Gerner was at all times very well informed, professional and used the available resources to obtain the best deal for us. We also appreciated his patience and advice regarding the timing of the markets. We liked especially the total identification with our needs, both as buyers and sellers of real estate. We always felt that Jogi had our best interests in mind and was not just there to make a broker's commission. Jogi was always well informed about the real estate market in Costa Rica and was able to provide information that we needed. We were also impressed by the electronic network to which ABC is hooked up thus expanding the range of market opportunities. We would deal again with ABC and recommend them to others in the future.
- Marta & Mike Gucovsky from the United States

Hello, everyone at ABC, I am responding to your request for a recommendation on working with ABC and I would be honored to talk about my experiences with ABC. To start off, I would like to express that all my transactions have been basic, honest and professional. Jogi, is an honest straightforward person who will go out of his way to find you exactly what you are looking for. Jogi has helped me with professional guidance for future investments, and professional counsel to make everything secure. I couldn't have found a better person to work with. I would like to also add how incredible the staff that. I have worked with. Verena is Jogi's beautiful other half who seems to be right on top of the issues of anything. I have ever worked with her or asked her to work on, she is quick and to the point and a pleasure to work with. ABC has gone above and beyond their duty to make my real estate transaction complete. Purchasing real estate was similar to the U.S. a lot less complicated. I don't speak any Spanish and ABC has negotiated and interpreted not only my real estate needs. Thank you for everything.
-T. Musika from North Carolina, United States

I bought a small parcel of land from ABC / Jogi in January of 2002. I did the transaction by fax / mail / email after I returned to the States. Jogi was very helpful and knowledgeable throughout my dealings with him and his company.  I liked Jogi's approach to showing land and dealing with clients. He is professional, and direct, and is up front about the specifics associated with purchasing land in Costa Rica. At no time did Jogi come across like he was "glossing over" important issues, or avoid questions that were hard to answer. Instead, he found out the information if he did not know it at the time and made it easier to make informed decisions.
-Jason from Colorado USA

I had only good experience buying land with ABC Real Estate. They always respond to my calls the same day and have the right solution for my need. We had a hard case with one of the owner and we kept with ABC Real Estate a very close relationship to finally make the owner agree and close the deal. I like to work with them because they are: Fast, Reliable, Responsible, Experienced, have the Knowledge and they know always the best deals in Tamarindo. I prefer to deal only with ABC in Tamarindo and send all my clients and friends to them. 100% of the deals we started were a success!
-Thierry Von der Weid, Swiss Resident in Costa Rica and Owner of Nosara Developments in Nosara Costa Rica.

The services from the ABC Real Estate Company were over all the years, we worked with them, very excellent. They are always so helpful and it was a pleasure, to work with them. I can highly recommend them and I hope to enjoy their services in the future again.
-Josef Compes, Hotel Brasilito, Costa Rica & Hotel Further Hof, Germany.

Two months ago I closed a real estate transaction as the Sellers Agent for Casa Paquita. I worked closely with ABC as they represented the Buyer. This sale was one of the most difficult sales due to the personal whims of my client. ABC acted in a calm and respectable manner through to the closing. Jogi was pulled in as needed and he also acted professionally. It was such a pleasure to work with someone in another agency in Tamarindo that respected the work ethic and morals that we try to upkeep in this area of Costa Rica. It was a pleasure to work with them and I would enjoy working with the two of them on many more sales. This has not been my case in my professional relationships with other so called real estate professionals that I consider to be rogues in Tamarindo. I would be happy to speak on their behalf.
- Donna Osborne, Owner of Coldwell Banker Coastal Properties Flamingo, Brasilito

I recently moved to Tamarindo to live full time. My contact with Jogi has been completely helpful. His extensive knowledge of the local market brought me up to speed very quickly. I was able to secure one of the hottest commercial locations in central Tamarindo with his help. He walked me through the entire process and advised me where needed. Their honesty and integrity in the way the deal with both the seller and the buyer. Their knowledge of the ins and outs of this tricky real estate market is very impressive. The entire staff was very kind and helpful. I already have plans for my next project and I know ABC and Jogi will play a key roll in this process.
- Ziggy Ziegler, President CR Paradise, USA & Tamarindo Costa Rica

THE VERY BEST, PROFESSIONAL STAFF. HONEST, VERY HELPFUL. JOGI MADE US FEEL COMFORTABLE.
- John N. Ruff from U.S.A.

On April 2002 I purchased a lot in Tamarindo. I found the lot via ABC Real Estate Tamarindo. During that visit to Tamarindo I was shown multiple properties which were available at the time. Jogi from ABC real Estate took the time to show me and my wife around, presented the multiple choices that we had and helped us in making the decision. ABC demonstrated high level of professionalism at the same time were very friendly and warm. They took the time to explain all the details associated with the transaction and were very patient and accommodating. I'll certainly deal with ABC in the future and can recommend them to anyone who wish to sell or buy property in Costa Rica.
- Isaac Oren from the United States

La experiencia con la compra de los lotes fue buena, el trato fue siempre cordial y amable; trataré a de nuevo con ustedes y también los recomendaría.
-Arq. Juan Diego Salas M., San José, Costa Rica

It was a real pleasure working with Jogi at ABC Real Estate. I felt welcome from the moment I entered his office and was pleased with the professional yet warm and friendly attitude he exudes. They (ABC Real Estate) are very efficient and that helped set the stage for a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend working with this company when buying or selling real estate in Costa Rica.
- Keith Hunter from Orlando, Florida 

Our experience in buying Real Estate from ABC was made easier by their understanding of our needs and the properties in the area. What we liked was the communication, the follow up and honesty. I will always deal with A.B.C. because of their concern for people involved by all concerned in any dealing that we have ever had with them.
- Gilbert & Donna Sanchez from New York

En varias ocasiones, y para diversas transacciones de adquisición y venta de propiedades, hemos tenido oportunidad de trabajar con la empresa ABC Real Estate Tamarindo, habiendo recibido un excelente trato y un servicio muy profesional, por lo que me permito extender esta recomendación a dicha empresa de cuya comprobada responsabilidad y honorabilidad puedo dar fe.
- Luis Alberto Varela, Abogado San José

I proudly recognized the good work that ABC REAL ESTATE provided to our clients and some others, they got the provisions to show, sale and expect the properties sold out in Guanacaste area, we have been working with Juergen (Jogi) Gerner and his crew for 7 years more less as I said they are very honest people and we recommend any type of business.
-Roberto J. Ledezma, General Manager of Excursiones Americanas, San Jose

My name is Siegfried Herzog, I am from Switzerland and for the past two years have spent considerable time in Costa Rica, in particular in Tamarindo. I am in the process of building a Topsider Home here in Tamarindo; a novelty which I believe will generate a lot of interest in this country. ABC Real Estate and its owner, Jogi Gerner, have accompanied me every step of the way in realizing my project. With the assistance of ABC Real Estate, I have acquired two lots, one an important beachside lot, in which my Topsider Home is presently being constructed. ABC has handled their task in a most efficient and professional way. From identifying suitable lots, to the purchase process and the securing of construction permit ABC Real Estate has been invaluable. ABC has the ability to identify opportunities and execute projects professionally. I intend to continue working with them and can highly recommend them as knowledgeable Partners in Real Estate Projects in this country.
- Siegfried Herzog from Switzerland

We listed our property/home in September of last year with ABC Real Estate. We have found Jogi to be very responsive to our questions and concerns. He has assisted us with the rental and maintenance of our real estate when needed. We are happy with his service thus far and would recommend him to others.
- Dean and Patricia Butterfield from the United States of America

Por este medio quiero recomendar los señores de ABC Real Estate para sus proyectos. He trabajado con ellos y sobre todo con Jogi por lo menos por cuatro años muy satisfactoriamente como corredores de bienes raíces en la zona de Tamarindo. Acostumbro mandarles mis compradores potenciales ciegamente, considerando su honestidad y dedicación para con mis clientes y sabiendo que le dan un muy buen seguimiento a los mismos. Tengo malas experiencias con muchos otros corredores en la misma zona que no atienden al comprador como se debe y después de mostrar las propiedades no le dan el seguimiento necesario. Ellos, aparte de ser muy buenos vendedores de bienes raíces, son muy organizados administrativamente y muy competitivos a nivel de mercadeo y publicidad. Son conocedores de la zona en la que trabajan y tienen la ventaja sobre la mayoría de sus competidores de hablar muchos diferentes idiomas además del español, lo que la mayoría de los corredores en Tamarindo no hablan.
- Ivo Henfling van Lith, Presidente Bienes Raíces Godutch S.A. Escazú, Costa Rica

My husband and I were interested in purchasing property in Costa Rica during our last trip there. Although we spoke with several different realtors, we chose to do business with ABC Real Estate Tamarindo, and are pleased that we did. Jogi and ABC were and are consistently professional and personable. They helped make the somewhat daunting and confusing task of purchasing property in a foreign country into an easy and understandable transaction. Their multi-lingual skills, roots and commitments to their country and community, and integrity as business realtors all combined to a successful transaction. In addition, we are able to stay in touch with the community and progress in the area through e mail and web sites, a clear advantage from our perspective. We would recommend working with ABC Real Estate Tamarindo with no hesitations.
- Suzanne and Stephen Davies from Alameda, California, CA

Die Erfahrung mit ABC Real Estate, beim Erwerb unserer Grundstuecke in Huacas und in Tamarindo sind sehr gut. Wir waren und sind immer noch bestens betreut und bedient. Trotz unserer Unkenntnis des Marktes in Costa Rica/Tamarindo wurden wir nicht einfach nur bedient, sondern sachlich und fachlich beraten, was zum Erwerb eines zweiten Grundstueckes gefuehrt hat. Besonders ist zu bemerken, das trotz aller Fragen und Bedenken nie der Eindruck entstand, laestig zu sein. Wir sind selbst professionelle Immobilienhaendler und Bauherren und es war aeusserst angenehm, auch in professioneller Manier bedient zu werden. Von ABC Real Estate wuerden wir jederzeit wieder kaufen und wir koennen Sie ohne Bedenken weiter empfehlen. Wir danken Jogi fuer den serioesen Service.
- Lothar Steinbuch u. Monica Warth-Noe from Spain, Mallorca, Can Picafort

ABC Real Estate represented my wife and me for the purchase of a lot in Tamarindo this past year. We were both very happy with the professionalism of Jogi and ABC. They were both very knowledgeable of the market in Tamarindo. The transaction went smoothly and we were very pleased. As a result of this experience we listed our home in Tamarindo with them. They have done a good job and keep us up to date on a regular basis. Being a Real Estate agent myself I feel I understand what it takes to represent clients in a professional and competent fashion. I would not hesitate to recommend ABC and would certainly work with them again. They are both very honest and put their clients first.
- Don Scharhag, Sotheby's International Realty, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA

I have worked closely with Juergen Jogi Gerner during the past three years. In this regard he has helped acquire four properties and sell two properties. Together, he has handled transactions including more than 30 hectares in the Tamarindo area. In each case, he has helped us purchase land under favorable conditions and sell properties at a profit. In addition to land transactions, for more than a year he managed a three-parcel complex including structural renovations and design improvement. He acted as our fiduciary, handling a great deal of money on our behalf. My experience with Mr. Gerner shows him to be a conscientious, honest, reliable businessperson in whom I have a great deal of confidence both in his business acumen and his integrity. I recommend him without reservation.
- Bob Nelson from the United States

My wife and I purchased a unit at Villas Langosta in September, 1998. The Real Estate Agent we dealt with was Juergen Jogi Gerner. At the time of our purchase, construction on the condominium that we selected had not commenced. A major factor in our decision to purchase a condominium in Costa Rica was that we felt very comfortable in dealing with Jogi. Our first impression of Jogi was that he was honest and that we could trust him. Our subsequent dealings with him have only strengthened our first impression. We were in Canada during the construction phase of our condominium and Jogi kept us informed of the progress and assisted us to make sure we got what we wanted. We enjoy our condo very much and feel fortunate that we originally selected Jogi as our agent. Thank you, Jogi. Not only do we currently recommend Jogi to all others, we strongly suggest that he be their first and only choice.
- Keith and Eileen Schwindt from Fort Macleod, Alberta, Canada

I am a fellow associate Realtor with Jogi Gerner and ABC. They have worked with our referral network group of Realtors in Costa Rica for the last two years. During this time I have sent many referral clients to them and they have always worked in a very professional manner; meaning they know the properties they represent well, make appointments on time, return phone calls and emails, and give the clients the service expected of a professional. In the seven years I have worked real estate sales in Costa Rica, I have found very few Realtors that I feel comfortable working with, that are trustworthy, honest and know the business. ABC exceed most in the field that I know in this country!
- Christina Van Horn, Tucan Realty in Costa Rica

On various occasions I had contact with the ABC team in Tamarindo and appreciated their professionalism and fortitude. I would never hesitate to turn to them again for specific advise on real estate in the Gold Coast area.
- Axel Marquardt from Tierra Rica, San José, Costa Rica

I have recently bought a property in the Tamarindo area with the assistance of ABC Real Estate. I was very pleased with the personal and friendly manner in which the ABC team set about finding the appropriate property for me, and was more than pleasantly surprised with the level of honesty that they showed. I felt relaxed and comfortable with them and was impressed with the smoothness of the whole operation. What is more, I would personally like to thank Jogi for all the effort he has gone to with regards to looking over the property since the sale. I would highly recommend ABC Real Estate to anyone interested in purchasing a property in the area, and would not hesitate to go back there myself.
- Ali Warren-Gash from United Kingdom

My experience with ABC Real Estate, Tamarindo, is the sale of 2 properties in Tamarindo, farmland both of them. What I really appreciated dealing with the agency was the efficiency, the kindness and the business-like attitude I experienced during the operation. It was a very difficult process due to the fact that the previous owner turned out to be aggressive, and it was an estate after my late husband, so consequently several countries were involved: Costa Rica, Spain and Denmark. Everything was finally solved to everyone's satisfaction. I dealt with Juergen Jogi Gerner; he was extremely competent and reliable. It is with big pleasure that I recommend the agency to anyone who may want to buy or sell a property. Of course I would always deal with the agency again in the future.
-Laila Djernum from Spain
