Real Estate Tamarindo

I have known Jogi with ABC Real Estate here in Playa Tamarindo for 25 years. He has helped me with two property transactions here in Playa Tamarindo. Jogi sold my Hotel, Casa Cook located on the beach and then helped me purchase and sell a Lot in the HillTop development located in Tamarindo.

Jogi has been exemplary in both transactions and showed professionalism in his business with me. He always answered all my phone calls, my many questions even if he was in another country. Jogi gave me advice when I asked and followed through on all the parts of the sell of property or purchase. I am very happy to recommend him to anyone buying or selling property.

After building and developing in Costa Rica since 2002, I have never met a realtor as helpful and straight forward as Jogi. He is friendly, knowledge, experienced and his attention to his customers is truly admirable. If you want to know about real estate in Guanacaste without any of the usual B.S., Jogi is the guy!

My second deal with Jogi in 20 years was a great experience.  His knowledge of the area, the market, and how to negotiate were invaluable this time around.  We were able to get a great price on a property at a time in the market when there are no bargains.  I would highly recommend Jogi to anyone with a Real Estate need.

Super Maklerbüro mit viel Auswahl. Inhaber ist deutscher somit gibt es keine Sprachbarriere . Wir wurden perfekt beraten und kauften uns so unsere Immobilie. Danke Jogi.

My wife and I are from the US and are planning to move to Costa Rica and we first reached out to ABC Real Estate to inquire about a property listing. Jogi, the owner of this business got back to us quickly and professionally. He recommended we meet via Zoom to further discuss our vision, plan and dreams. From the moment we met on Zoom, I could tell he was an outstanding human and realtor. Truly, someone I was excited in life to meet the acquaintance of. When we got down to Costa Rica and met up with Jogi in Tamarindo, he toured us around 7 different properties that met our requirements, and throughout the day, he also schooled us on the area, region, and country—from culture to cuisine. At the end of day one, he offered to give us a tour of Tamarindo the next morning, and we took him up on the offer. He spent about 90 minutes driving us around the city, breaking down the neighborhoods and politics. We ended up on a mountain top estate with gorgeous views overlooking the city and beach—it was breathtaking. When it comes to working with a realtor in a foreign country, it can feel very vulnerable. Trust is huge. I don’t typically write reviews, but I am compelled to write this review because if you are in a similar position as my wife and I, then I am here to tell you that you can trust Jogi and his company ABC. We toured approx. 45 properties along the Gold Coast, from Santa Teresa up to Playa Hermosa (the Hermosa North of Coco), and Jogi was hands down the best realtor we worked with. By best I mean, a genuinely thoughtful human being that was honest, kind, outgoing and extremely knowledgable. There was actually another realtor up in Hermosa who referred to Jogi as an OG of the area. I guess he’s been practicing real estate in Tamarindo for 17 years. Wow! Thanks for everything Jogi!

ABC was highly recommended to us by friends who bought several properties through Jogi and his team. Their extensive network and local knowledge is in no small part due to their 20+ year commitment. They are familiar with every part of Tamarindo real estate; whatever is going on, they know of it. Our expectations were exceeded and we believe we found good value with ABC.

Quiero agradecerle por todo lo realizado para la venta de la finca. El trato fue excelente y en todo aspecto recomendaría los servicios de su representada para cualquier negocio en bienes raíces. No puedo pensar en algo que se pudiera hacer mejor, de lo desarrollado por usted en lo personal.

Estamos más que complacidos con el servicio brindado por está empresa y sus representantes en una reciente negociación. La atención y seguimiento de cada consulta que formulamos fueron serias, fundamentadas y brindadas en tiempo y forma. Reiteramos nuestra satisfacción, teniendo certeza de que en una futura negociación con está empresa la haríamos con confianza. La recomendamos 100%.

We were so fortunate to have found Jogi. As our realtor, he helped us narrow the search and direct us only to properties that met our requirements.  Our initial search was conducted with his help online and then he spent several days with us when it was time to look at properties in person.  He was patient with all of our questions and helped educate us through the process.

Jogi was always on our side working to make our purchase as simple and successful as possible.  His many years of real estate experience combined with many years living in the community lead to very valuable insights.  Without his help, it would have been easy to make some mistakes common in buying real estate in a foreign country.  He also helped us connect with a great architect and builder to help us build our dream home.

Having bought and sold many properties in the states and having worked with many realtors, we can honestly say that Jogi is one of the best we have worked with.  We recommend him without reservation and look forward to seeing him in our new community.

Conozco personalmente Jogi; fuimos entre los primeros colonos en llegar a Tamarindo en los años noventa. Siempre fue excelente persona. Los años han remarcado su profesionalismo. Gracias de corazón por la atención.

As a 20+ year resident of Tamarindo, I’ve seen plenty of realtors come and go. Jogi has stood the test of time. He knows the local market and he’s professional to work with. You’re in good hands.

Ich war mit ABC Real Estate voll und ganz zufrieden. Vor allem mit der Kommunikation mit Jogi. Es hat riesig Spass gemacht. Hatte ich Fragen, Probleme oder Wünsche hast er immer alles sehr gut beantwortet oder sofort erledigt. Der Internet Auftritt mit den wundervollen Fotos fand ich grandios. Auch mit der Abwicklung hat alles sehr gut funktioniert und einen sehr raschen Ablauf genommen. Ich wüsste nicht was man besser machen könnte. Alles in allem einfach total geil. Schade dass ich nicht noch mehr Liegenschaften habe. Ich würde Jogi bestimmt wieder einen Auftrag erteilen und werde ihn auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen. Nochmals vielen Dank.

Imagine being able to say ‘One and Done’ when it comes to buying a home in the Tamarindo/Langosta areas. Well, that’s what you get when you hire Matt Bernard at ABC Real Estate. One amazing real estate agent. One very patient and knowledgeable guide through the Costa Rican buying process. One truly honest and caring professional. Matt negotiated an amazing price for an amazing property and was with us every step of the way. Matt also hooked us up with a legal team that did all the diligence work, set up our company and even arranged for our bank account – all in ONE month. It was easier than buying our home in Texas! So, if you’re looking for ‘THE ONE’ real estate agent in the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica, then Matt Bernard should be your NUMBER ONE choice. We’d recommend Matt and the team at ABC Real Estate to anyone and everyone looking for a slice of heaven. Thanks Matt & Jogi! You guys are the best! We love our new home!

Résidents au Costa Rica depuis 20 ans, nous avons toujours fait appel à ABC Real-estate pour acheter ou vendre des biens immobiliers. Si vous souhaitez investir au Costa Rica nous vous recommandons fortement Jogi et son équipe; ils sont extrêmement professionnels, toujours à l’écoute et à la disposition de leurs clients. Soyez certains qu’ils seront toujours là pour vous conseillez au mieux dans toutes vos démarches et ceci, avec professionnalisme, expérience, qualité, honnêteté, sincérité et humanité, d’où leur notoriété locale -évidemment – mais aussi international! Merci Jogi pour votre excellent travail. Notre expérience avec ABC Real Estate a été une fois de plus très positive. Merci à toute l’équipe! À la prochaine!

We have been coming to Tamarindo for several years, but it was not until now that we decided to make a purchase.  A dear friend and a local resident recommended Jogi and his team at ABC Costa Rica Real Estate.  From the very start we were very impressed.  He keeps encyclopedic records of almost every property, owner, quality of construction, etc. in the entire area. Since he has lived in Tamarindo for more than 20 years, he knows everyone and is highly respected in the community.

Having someone of Jogi’s professionalism and integrity on our side, gave us the confidence to purchase several condominiums as investments, including one where we will eventually spend a substantial part of our year.  Jogi’s depth of information and contacts were incredibly helpful in our search.  He made it possible to find the best local properties for our needs.  Since all real estate is local, his local knowledge was invaluable.  He is not afraid to tell you what you don’t want to hear because he cares about the best outcome for you.  He does not go for the easy sale; he works hard to create repeat customers and referrals. We looked for condominium buildings that are well constructed and have a good earning potential.  There was nothing on the market officially in the building we liked but through his relationship with one of the owners, he was able to source us a property that was not on the market and for a price we wanted.  As we purchased two other properties, it was a very similar process.  His knowledge and honesty gave us the confidence to make these purchases as well as the security of the acquisition process in a foreign country.  His integrity, straight forward nature, experience, judgement and encyclopaedical knowledge really paid off for us and we are super happy with our purchases.  We highly recommend Jogi to anyone who is looking to purchase real estate in the Tamarindo area. Two of our friends that we already referred to him, purchased properties through Jogi and had similarly positive experiences as we did.

Jogi Gerner is not only a top professional in his field but also makes the process of purchasing a home as easy as your ABCs. I personally enjoyed working with Jogi immensely after having a not so stellar experience with another real estate agent. Jogi is a personable, delightful individual and goes over and beyond what is required as a Real Estate professional. He not only educates but also helps you transition into the new and sometimes challenging experience of relocating to another country. He makes the process look easy and supports the home purchase with his unfailing sense of humor. I can not envision working with any other agent than Jogi in the future on any real estate ventures. Top notch describes him and ABC Realty.

Jogi and his team are the best realtors in the Tamarindo/ Flamingo area. We listed two properties with them, and both were sold very quickly. I have worked with realtors in several countries and think that ABC is at the top of my list. I would definitely work with them again!

I listed the sale of my property, a nice penthouse condo, with ABC. Even throughout the COVID pandemic they remained resolute in getting my property sold at a fair price. I worked with multiple members of their professional team who were very responsive and looked out for my best interest. Even as some buyers tried to lowball me ABC stood by my side until we got a solid buyer with a fair offer. I would gladly do business with them again. All aspects of the listing and sale were expertly handled and responses were always timely. Thanks ABC for getting me a good deal and walking it through escrow to closing. Federico was my agent and I recommend him without reservation.

Recién utilice los servicios de bienes raíces para una compra de una propiedad en Tamarindo Guanacaste; siempre estuve informado y asesorado por el representante de ABC. Excelente servicio!!

El servicio de Gregory fue excelente, buen trato, responsable y atento a todos los detalles de la venta. No tuve que preocuparme por nada, todo salió fluido. Excelente servicio.

We contacted ABC Real Estate as soon as we hit the tarmac in Tamarindo, Costa Rica. We wanted to explore the area and ABC had a very nice selection to start with. We felt really lucky picking the winning lottery in choosing real estate agent. Something that can be very difficult. ABCs realtor Jogi is a warm person with very little self interest. Simply put, he helped us finding the absolute best property and we could not be happier with the ongoing support we keep getting from him in all areas needed for a smooth relocation to a new country. ABC and Jogi made all the difference in this important investment and commitment. Pura vida!

ABC Realtors of Tamarindo is a great company to help you sell your property when you are ready to find a qualified buyer. Jogi Juergen Gerner, the owner of the company, will make sure you get the best opportunity to sell your home from the first day you list it to the day it is sold. Jogi is very professional in all aspects of the transaction. You can be sure that you will constantly be notified of all marketing activities and excellent suggestions on how to present your property to get maximum selling price. The all important closing process was made easy with his help and guidance.. He obviously knows the local market because his company is established for more than 20 years and has made many relationships in the community. I would highly recommend ABC for all your real estate needs in the Tamarindo area.

Jogi, muchas gracias por esas palabras tan hermosas. Yo tengo que decirle que pocas veces he tenido la oportunidad de trabajar con un corredor tan confiable y serio como usted. Muchas gracias por sus servicios. Si señor, Pura Vida!!!

I recently sold two houses in Langosta thanks to the extraordinary efforts and professional services of ABC Realty in Tamarindo.I was unable to be present during the second sale, so would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to both Jogi and Mark for all their professionalism and over the top service to make this possible.I would highly recommend ABC Realty to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Guanacaste.

I was fortunate enough to have done a real estate transaction with Jogi and his team at ABC Real Estate in Tamarindo, and received solid advice, constant support, and friendly professional representation through out. I was out of my element (and my language) in a country I love but don’t live in, and am so grateful to have had such a trustworthy representative. If you are looking for a realtor in the Tamarindo area, look no further. ABC Real Estate goes above and beyond for it’s customers and its community.

I just want to say thank you to Jogi from Tamarindo ABC Real Estate for being so helpful and professional during my searching for the house in Tamarindo.I cannot speak highly enough of the service he offers. Friendly, professional and nothing was too much trouble for him, he really goes out of his way to help. I will certainly continue to use him and recommend him to anyone who wishes to buy or sell their house in the area.

Jogi is not your typical real estate agent, in a good way! I never felt pressured or like I was being given a sales pitch. Transparency was provided on all issues, which is so important when buying real estate in a not-so-transparent market. Jogi and his agents were genuine, professional and knowledgeable. They were happy to help without being pushy. When investing money in real estate, I wanted to use someone I could trust because you hear horror stories from other expats. I can honestly say I trust Jogi and his company. They have been around for many many years, and my experience was nothing but positive. In the end, they helped us find something even better than what we were looking for. Thanks Jogi and team!

It has been my pleasure to own property in Tamarindo since the early nineties when it was a sleepy fishing village.  By the middle to the late nineties many Real Estate companies discovered Tamarindo. The village was known for surfing, fishing, warm water and a beautiful beach.  I watched the development of ABC Real Estate, owned by Jogi Jürgen Gerner.  I have sold and bought property in Tamarindo with Jogi and his company who have shown professionalism, honesty, ability to advertise and sell property.

Mark, my experience was very good! I enjoyed the attention given to me by the agency. My unit was not the most expensive, but I felt like it had just as much attention as more expensive properties. ABC was always available when I had inquiries. The agents became friends throughout the process!

Herr Jogi Jürgen Gerner hat uns sehr professionell beraten und begleitet. Durch seine überaus freundliche Art, Zuverlässigkeit, Gewissenhaftigkeit hat er uns überzeugen können. Er hat dabei aus unserer Sicht überragendes persönliches Engagement an den Tag gelegt. Jeder Zeit hat uns Herr Gerner über den aktuellen Status auf dem laufenden gehalten. Wir können Herrn Gerner jederzeit uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen. Herzlichen Dank an Jogi und an das ganze ABC Team in Tamarindo.

I just recently sold my business through ABC Real Estate Tamarindo and have had an excellent experience from start to finish.My agent, Karen, was the perfect match for my procrastination. She stayed on top of my progress with writing copy, declutterIng and staging and finally getting all the pictures needed. She always was there to help if I needed her. The listing was quickly online and the sale was completed within a record 6 months! Great photos, pricing and a professional agent and real estate office made this happen. Everyone was available for after sales support as well.Many thanks to Karen Fabre and the whole team at ABC Real Estate Tamarindo!!

We have used exclusively ABC for the past 15 years, Jogi & Verena’s professionalism and customer service are without question the best in the Tamarindo area. Their knowledge of the Costa Rican legal process and deep understanding o the local market make them the best partners you can have when selling or buying property.

If you are looking to purchase real estate in Tamarindo or surrounding areas, this is a first rate company. Speak English, well informed, and not the type of business that puts pressure on you to just buy. They leave it up to you and show you what you want. Federico Jose is the #1 agent at this place.

Por este medio les agradezco su gestion y acompañamiento en el proceso de compra de este lote.Los felicito por su etica y profesionalismo.

Mark was our agent when we bought the property and when we sold it, and in both cases Mark was extremely easy to work with and ABC proved to be a great choice for dealing with Tamarindo real estate. Overall the experience of working with Mark and ABC was very positive. Mark and ABC made the selling process relatively easy and straightforward, which is especially important when completing a real estate sale from another country. In all my interactions with ABC, everyone was friendly and professional. I also like that they are a local organization and they seem to know the Tamarindo market really well. I would definitely recommend ABC to others, and I would work with ABC again.

My name is Waleed William Tarazi and reside in Rancho Villareal just outside of Tamarindo Costa Rica. My wife Deborah and l are from Chicago , Illinois and prior to that l was born in Baghdad, Iraq. Upon our retirement we elected this amazing part of the world to build and dwell in our amazing home known as Casa de Gracia.We have elected to return to the states to be closer to our daughters after nearly three years and other family members. While living here we have learned that it takes 2-3 years to sell if not more . Selecting the best agency to help our efficient sale was very critical for us.We did solicit various input from friends , professionals, builders, neighbors, real estate agents and the consensus after sorting through objective input was ABC. I was given the name Jogi as he was the principle. I elected to stop by one late Friday afternoon about five minutes after closing time and the only person that was there at the time was Federico . I introduced my self and communicated him my full name and asked him about The owner who was on vacation in Germany for few more weeks. I told him that we are interested in selling our home and to the possibility of listing with them. Federico was willing to help in anyway he can and gave me his business card and of the owner. I thanked and walked out . Ten steps later l turned around and knocked on the door again and Federico opened the door and l said just one question , what is my first name? Without any hesitation Federico responded , Waleed ! He did not look at any notes and was sharp on his feet. Normally people struggle with my name few times. I smiled and said he will hear from me.That positive encounter with Federico coupled with various endorsements they have earned made our decision easy . I respect my gut instincts so we went with ABC and Federico. The firm has a sales staff of various nationalities and exposures to N America and Europe and work very well with many agents and other Real Estate companies.Federico was always a pleasure to deal with . He is intelligent, educated, great communicator, professionnal, personable, a good family man, and a settle kind easy salesperson . He has earned our admiration and respect and was able to trust him fully. Selling our home in just 6 months was an amazing accomplishment and closing on it within 8 months was music to my wife’s ears.Other agencies wanted to offer our house for less $ than it costed us to build and seem that they did not care if we lost $ or not as long as they were able to sell and get their commission. That was never the case with ABC. We liked their entire staff and always felt good visiting their office.We have and will continue to recommend ABC, Federico, Jogi, etc. l’m confident that we will maintain communications with Federico as we have built a mutual like for each other which will endure the test of time.Take it from us; your decision to sell should be as easy as saying ABC.

Un immense merci à l’équipe de ABC Tamarindo Real Estate qui, avec professionnalisme et diligence a su, encore une fois, mener à terme la vente d’une de nos propriétés. Madame Karen Fabré sait non seulement assumer son rôle avec brio, mais également mettre tout en œuvre afin d’assurer la mise en place des conditions gagnantes à la conclusion d’une affaire.

Although I’ve been a professional real estate investor for almost four decades, it is rare when I find myself on the selling end of a transaction (I’m a long-term hold guy). As such, it is an honor to write this review regarding the attention that ABC Real Estate in Tamarindo, Costa Rica provided us in a recent sales transaction. Throughout the process, we found both Federico Fernandez (Agent) and Jogi Jürgen (Broker) to be professional; responsive; communicative; and a pleasure to work with. Even when issues / problems arose, they dealt with them in a reasonable and timely manner. As long-standing members of the Tamarindo community, we have often recommended Jogi and his Team to others who are looking for an integrity-based organization. With this experience completed, we will continue to do so and highly recommend Federico; Jogi; and their Team.

I purchased two residential lots in Tamarindo back in 2012. I just recently sold them in 2018. Jogi at ABC Real Estate, represented me in the purchase and sale of both lots. My ownership experience in Tamarindo has been tremendous, mainly because of Jogi. He has helped me, not just in the purchase/sale, but also in the yearly maintenance of the properties as well. He goes above and beyond to help his clients with their properties to ensure they are satisfied with his work. When I first met Jogi, and started to understood the breadth of knowledge that Jogi brings to the real estate field in Tamarindo, I referred to him as the “Mayor of Tamarindo.” I highly recommend Jogi at ABC Real Estate for all your property needs. If I do decide to invest again in Tamarindo, I will definitely be giving Jogi a call, and you should too.

I wanted to truly thank you for all your help with the purchase of the commercial lot in Huacas.First, I can’t believe you found this property for us. After searching ourselves for months all I did was finally break down and ask you for your help (because I didn’t want to bother you with such a small lot) and the next morning you had lined up properties that we didn’t even know were for sale – and others that technically were not for sale but were worth pursuing. And then we ended up with a property that wasn’t listed for sale and you managed to get this for us at a price that was too good to be true. This would not have happened without your local knowledge and you working one on one with the seller as it took someone like you with your finesse to keep the deal together as it seemed like it was going to fall apart a few times. It was so stressful knowing that the seller could back out at any minute and by all rights he could have and sold it for much more than he was asking. I held my breath throughout the whole transaction because this one meant so much to us as it was for our new business venture in Costa Rica- which also meant we were finally committing to moving there!In the course of seven years we have purchased our vacation home and also a few lots and sold a few lots with you. Every time we have worked with you it has been the absolute most positive experience. Every time you and Verena advised us on purchasing and selling it has been a lucrative transaction for us. I have nothing but the most respect for you all -and as much as I don’t want to recommend you to others so we can keep you for ourselves we absolutely have to. What you bring to the table far exceeds the expectation of a realtor or any professional in the industry. You have helped us with our piece of paradise and our next chapter in life and it seemed you did this so effortlessly, but we know how hard you work and as much as you dedicate yourself to your clients. We are forever thankful to you and we are even more thankful we have had the chance to get to know you and Verena over these years.I can’t believe we bought this. I am still pinching myself. I am pinching David as well just for the fun of it.

Federico was a lucky meeting for us as we had already been looking for property for quite some time in the Tamarindo/Langosta area when we met him. His knowledge about the area as well as many of the properties and owners was quite refreshing and we were delighted to know he would be representing us through the process. We are both in real estate in the states and realize the small percentage of real estate brokers that work at a high level for the interest of their clients. Federico is definitely one of these people. He found us an off market listing for a great price in a prime location. He knew what we were looking for, intently listened to our needs, and continued to support our search time and time again. We are thankful we have met him and we can call on him for his local real estate knowledge.

Madame Karen Fabré a démontré un réel engagement en s’assurant de mettre en place toutes les stratégies possibles pour mener à terme la vente de notre propriété.Nous avons grandement apprécié sa grande disponibilité, la qualité de ses communications ainsi que son positivisme dans un dossier pourtant complexe. Travailler avec cette équipe, c’est s’assurer d’être entouré de gens professionnels, dynamiques et investis.La meilleure décision que nous ayons prise au cours de la dernière année a été de se joindre à l’équipe de ABC Real Estate.

Je suis très satisfait de ma relation professionnelle avec l’agence ABC. Karen a suivi le dossier du début à la fin. Elle a su rester positive et encourager les visites malgré les délais un peu long jusqu’à temps de trouver un acquéreur. C’était un vrai plaisir d’échanger avec elle car j’apprécie beaucoup sa rigueur et son sérieux dans le travail. Nous avons eu un beau partenariat et j’espère que nous aurons d’autres occasions de travailler ensemble. Merci pour tout.

I would like to thank you for the excellent job you did. From the beginning you were very helpful, informative, welcoming and professional. I think I was very lucky in having contacted you for this venture. I would definitely work with you again and recommend you to my friends and family.It was excellent from the beginning to the end. I chose ABC mainly because Mark Venegas responded to my email inquiry right away with a very thorough and informative email. He always made sure to keep me well informed and responded to my emails quickly, keeping me informed and solving any issues. When I went to ABC’s office in Tamarindo I was treated very nicely and professionally. The office is very nice and well-located. Mark took me to see the lots and was a very good host. The whole process went very smoothly with very low stress levels for me.I always felt safe, in good hands. The whole process was very smooth, with very low stress levels. Mark was an excellent professional who did an outstanding job in every area.

My experience was absolutely positive. Especially because I worked directly with Mark Venegas. This was not an easy transaction due to the circumstances surrounding the lot. Yet, Mark’s professionalism and work ethic was key to a successful outcome for all involved.I liked Mark’s honesty and transparency. I appreciated how he kept me appraised of all developments, how fast he responded to my questions, and, most importantly, how he lent a helping hand to all parties.I already have and will continue to recommend and encourage my friends in the U.S. and in Costa Rica to contact ABC if they are interested in purchasing or selling real estate. Especially, if they to work directly with Mark. He’s a trustworthy person.

I am extremely pleased with the professionalism of ABC Real Estate. From the first time they walked through the property and helped us understand what we had to do to make the home presentable to sale. Then all the follow up it took to get the property sold and closed. I would very highly recommend if you want your home sold to listen to their advice.

Our experience with ABC was effortless and painless. They made everything very easy to understand and the trust was there from the first second we were introduced to our brokers. The level of knowledge and understanding living and buying in another country was incredible and we felt we could be in contact 24 hours 7 days a week. The closing was fast and so so easy. ABC has great knowledge about buying and selling in Costa Rica and this was very important to us buying a new house and in the future selling our old house with ABC. We look forward to selling our house with ABC Real Estate!

Hi Mark, Please accept this email as my feedback on the services you provided thru ABC Real Estate. We were very impressed with the real estate services you provided when we listed our lots with ABC. You provided us insight as to what was needed to show the lots better, and you arranged for the fencing and seasonal clearing of the lots in our absence. The online advertising was very well done, and you incorporated our ideas into the write-up. Your expertise and diligence certainly made the difference and resulted in the sale of our lots in a difficult market. I can’t think of anything missing in your service, and I would certainly use ABC Real Estate again in the future, and would not hesitate to recommend your services to others.

We feel that you and ABC Realty took good care of us. We will definitely use you again, if we decide to sell in 20 years lol. I’ve actually recommended you and your office several times to people I’ve met walking the beach with the dogs.

Very trustworthy and reliable staff. Best real estates company in Tamarindo. They’re going the extra mile for the customer. I know that, as I did some business with them. Absolutely recommendable!

Federico buenos días! Estamos muy contentos con la compra de esta propiedad de verdad que me agrada mucho hacer negocios con personas como usted sus valores y principios se notan desde el primer contacto, esta ha sido una experiencia maravillosa, su asesoría fue imprescindible para tomar la decision de compra, usted y ABC Real Estate tienen toda mi confianza, me gustó mucho como me dirigieron y acompañaron durante todo el proceso, no sólo volvería a hacer negocios con ustedes si no que espero con ansias que así sea. Gracias a su manera de tratar los clientes y el compromiso con su negocio no tengo duda que seguirán prosperando día con día. Definitivamente %100 recomendados.Mi más sincero agradecimiento.

My God Jogi , humble and so professional is a rare breed in this business. I am 100% satisfied with ABC and you Jogi

Thank you very much! We are really happy about our new home in Tamarindo. And also thank you very much for you fantastic and warm help, and your friendship. The same goes back to you of course, if there is something we can help you with or assist you, just let us know at any time.My knee is doing a bit better already, it will just take some time to heal. I will have a meeting at the hospital on Monday and will know if any tendence/cartilage is dammaged. I will ask if my insurance pays for the cure in Tamarindo;).I also hope that we can make a next deal soon with the lots we were looking at. I will talk to Sarah about this and we will let you know as soon as possible.And of course we are happy to answer your questions and give you a feedback:Our general experience in regards to buying with ABC Real Estate was excellent. Our agent (Federico Jose Fernandez) was very friendly, helpful and straight forward – not only with dealing with properties, but also assisting with moving to Tamarindo, driving us to places, looking for cars, internet, etc. He was highly professional and efficient with listening to our needs and wishes. He always took concerns serious and had straight forward answers, and he never tried to make things better or worse as they are. He showed us properties that matched our criterias and based on that also suggested alternatives that were very helpful for our decision-making. He took a lot of time for us and was there for us at any time we needed him. He also had a very good feeling for what we liked and what we were not interested in. We would deal with ABC again any time and can only highly recommend working with them.For your personal feedback, I can honestly not suggest anything to improve. Your work was simply excellent, from a professional point of view as well as from a personal one.I am looking forward to see you in December, and hopefully get back to you for the lots before that!

Federico, I would like to thank you for working so hard in the sale of my condo. I know how hard you worked to accomplish this for me. If this was a proving ground for you, you proved yourself worthy. First and foremost, I was so pleased with the way you emailed me on a regular basis with updates and advice as I was out of the country. This was very reassuring to me.I was impressed with all the marketing that ABC Real Estate was constantly doing: the regular newsletter, putting my condo on HGTV International, ads in the local papers down there as well as international marketing.To me ABC and Federico are top notch in professionalism. With the fact that there is no multiple listing service, like in the states, you did a remarkable job of networking within the real estate community. Kudos to you. Your attention to details is beyond criticism.Your promise when it came time for closing was that you would take care of everything-that it would be easy for me. This was a promise held and it all couldn’t have been easier for me.I would like to tell you that everyone I encountered after all was complete was told by me to use ABC and Federico Fernandez if they needed a realtor to represent them in any transaction concerning real estate in the area. IF I were to ever in the future consider buying anything there again I know where I will come to do so – ABC Real Estate and Federico Fernandez. Besides you are a charming, hard working, trustworthy family man.Thanks again so much.

Es la segunda vez que trato con ABC y la verdad que tienen un equipo muy bueno. Federico Fernandez uno de los agentes muy profesional y en todo momento al lado de uno para cada duda que se pueda presentar. Uno se siente comodo y con la confiaza de seguir trabajando con ellos. Muy recomendado!!

Es war meine beste Entscheidung, die Verkaufsabwicklung meines Grundstückes in die erfahrenen Hände von Maklern der “ABC Real Estate” gegeben zu haben!Vom zuständigen Agenten wurde ich sehr professionell betreut und stets über die aktuelle Sachlage informiert; was dann schlussendlich in kurzer Zeit zum erfolgreichen Verkaufabschluss geführt hat.Ich kann die Dienste von “ABC REAL ESTATE” mit bestem Gewissen empfehlen! Bei Jogi Gerner und seinem Team erfährt der Kunde überdurchschnittliche Qualität”.Personal Note: Jogi, es gibt bei meinem Fall keine Kritikpunkte zu erwähnen! So wie ich es oben erwähnt habe bin ich mit dir und Federico hochzufrieden gewesen (schwierig alles in Kürze zu erwähnen). Alles lief so locker über die Bühne (fast wie ein CH-Uhrwerk ;-). Der informationsfluss von dir und Federico habe ich sehr geschätzt und als Top-Profihaft empfunden! Auch das du all die vielen Km bis nach Basel abgespuhlt hast ist schon grandios gewesen. Danke

Karen Fabré and the staff at ABC Real Estate were amazing to work with. Being a first time home buyer in Costa Rica I was very pleased with the professionalism that Karen provided. Karen & ABC made the whole process very easy and I look forward to future dealings with ABC Real Estate.

Had a positive experience working with ABC Realty, both in the purchase and sale of a business. In fact, it was the professionalism that we saw on the part of ABC in our original purchase that led us to choose ABC again when it came time to sell the business. ABC’s agents are trustworthy, honest and easy to work with. Recommended for both purchase and sale of a property or business!

I have worked with ABC Real Estate for more than 10 years in buying and selling real estate as well as property maintenance. Jogi and his team have always been honest, straightforward and helpful. Equally important, ABC is committed to what is in the best long term interests of the Tamarindo community.

Working with ABC has been a consistent pleasure. Whether buying or selling, they’ve always had our best interests at heart. We’ve never felt the least bit pressured, and regard them as trusted friends and advisors. Not only have they gone out of their way when we’ve been involved in a transaction, they’ve acted as our eyes and ears with respect to the properties we’ve owned. They kept an eye on things for us, let us know when upkeep was required, and then had it taken care of efficiently and at a fair price.We consider Jogi and the folks at ABC as friends, and catching up with them is one of the primary reasons we look forward to visiting Costa Rica.

Buying real estate outside of the country can be both exciting and stressful at the same time. Many questions will undoubtedly arise over the course of your transaction. It’s critical that your real estate agent becomes your partner and guide through the process. From the moment of introduction, both Carlos Velarde and Federico Fernandez provided me not only with all the answers, but their patience was evident throughout the entire process. Federico guided me through the challenges of negotiating with the seller. He took every question with ease. Carlos was there from the beginning to help me process my ultimate decision to purchase the lot. He surveyed the two lots in consideration and made his recommendation based on the ability to achieve my goal of building my family resort home. I highly recommend this team and company when you’re considering your Costa Rican real estate needs. I wouldn’t hesitate to enlist their services again.

Buying with ABC was great! We loved it! it was very easy, everything was taken care of Federico was always making sure we were in track and informed.Their willingness to help the first time we used ABC we where Buyers of a listing they had.Federico was so helpful to make sure everything we needed was provided; Also when the owner of the rental place wanted to take advantage of us he went and found 2 other rental places with better deals for us to look at.We are super thankful for that because our business is in a way better location now.I will definitely use ABC again for any real-state need i have in the near future. And I’m already telling everyone I know that is looking into buy a house or a property here in Tamarindo to go talk to the agents at ABC .We would definitely recommend ABC to anyone who is looking to buy a property or a business in TamarindoOur experience was great! Federico went above and beyond to help us to close the deal. He was very good at keeping track of everything and make sure all was done in time. Also that all everyone involved in the deal was informed of everything that was going on.

My wife and I have been coming to Tamarindo for over 20 years now. This year at the end of our stay, we decided to buy property. With only one more week in town, this was a really small time frame. Jogi and Mark made it all happen. Mark showed us the properties, Jogi helped us prepare an offer and negotiated with the sellers. We could just literally sit back and relax !! They have been around for so long, they know what’s happening in town, who to talk to, and so on. I would recommend abc and their team to anybody looking to buy property in the Guanacaste area. Thanks again guys

My experience with ABC Real Estate has been great from start to end. The process has been easy and efficient, they have explained and included me as a client in everything. Jogi kept me well informed every step of the way, we had a daily contact and all my questions where answered right away! I would highly recommend ABC to those wanting to buy in Costa Rica! Jogi, I’m really happy with our collaboration, as you know this was my first time buying in another country. You made this experience really easy for me, and I felt well informed during the whole process, even though I was on the other side of the world! Thank you so much! Pura Vida

Sehr geehrter Herr Gerner, lieber Jogi, ich möchte die Gelegenheit nutzen und Dir mitteilen, dass ich sehr zufrieden mit dem Kauf des Grundstückes, mit der zügigen Abwicklung und mit Deiner wirklich insgesamt hervorragenden Leistung bin. Bezüglich unserer Geschäftsaktivitäten fühle ich mich bei Dir in kompetenten und absolut professionellen Händen. Es ist für mich selbstverständlich, Dich bei nächster Gelegenheit wieder mit der Organisation und den Kauf- bzw. Verkaufsaktivitäten zu beauftragen. Herzlichen Dank für Deine allzeit umfangreichen Bemühungen.

It was a pleasure working with ABC Realty. We can highly recommend our agent Federico Fernandez. We recently closed on our property and had a few snags on the way, but Federico was there with us the whole time. He responded to all our emails quickly and worked long hours with us. What we really like about him is his patience, kindness and that he was never pushy. Federico speaks good english, and is very professional and knowledgeable about real estate in the Guanacaste area. He is a hard worker and cares about his clients, it was truly easy to work with him. We would use ABC Realty and Federico again if we needed to do any more real estate transactions in the future.

Sehr gute, kompetente Beratung, extrem herzliche, ausdauernde und aufmerksame Kommunikation. Bei ABC Real Estate geht man die Extra-Meile um Kunden zu betreuen und rundum zufrieden zu stellen. Ich werde gerne bei weiteren Transaktionen jederzeit wieder auf diesen exzellenten Service zurückgreifen und kann ABC Real Estate uneingeschränkt weiter empfehlen!

My experience buying property in Tamarindo with ABC and in particular with Jogi was 5 star.I had a v very short time frame to realize this operation and appreciated very much the fact that Jogi was on his game, had all the information readily available and was always reachable (inclusive weekends).Jogi is very knwoleadgable about the market and market pricers so we could quickly establish fair market prices.His advice was priceless and saved me a whole lot of money by advising on a price offer and then negotiating this with the sellers.I cannot think of any hiccups or anything that could have done better.In short Jogi presented me an opportunity, we made an offer, went into escrow and less then 4 weeks later we closed ! Very happy.

Dear Jogi and Verena. Margaret and I want to thank you for the terrific job ABC Realty did in marketing our property for sale in Tamarindo’s Oro del Sol community this past January, 2016. We could have chosen any number of excellent real estate firms in the area to handle our sale but chose ABC Realty because of your professionalism, attention to detail, follow-through, courtesy, and willingness to go the extra mile to make certain that our needs were being addressed and protected. Oftentimes, the Seller’s concerns get overlooked when the sales process focuses exclusively on satisfying the Buyer’s demands and/or requirements to complete and close a purchase agreement. That was not our experience with ABC Realty. We felt as though our position was always paramount in the negotiations because we had the most desirous asset available in the area. We were always treated with respect and deference whenever a question arose about decision-making because it was our “home” being discussed, not just another property! Therefore, we’re proud to recommend ABC Realty to anyone, anywhere! You get results that satisfy and elevate your client’s aspirations and expectations to the highest standards of excellence! Please feel free to refer us to any interested client, be they Buyer or Seller. We owe you a debt of gratitude for your performance and are always happy to provide recommendations and/or references. Yours very truly…

Jogi found us an unbelievable deal on a piece of prime real estate in Tamarindo. Not only that, but he then facilitated the purchase of our lot, which was easy and smooth and we closed in a little over one week! With this being our first land purchase, Jogi held our hand the whole way and was available practically around the clock to answer any questions and to dispel any doubts about the process. He gave us solid, honest and unbiased advice the whole way through. We will only use ABC for future real estate dealings and I highly recommend Jogi and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell in this area! Jogi is honest, responsive and an all-around nice person — a pleasure to work with.

Last week my wife and I closed on a property in Langosta with the help of Jürgen “Jogi” Gerner from ABC Realty. The entire process was made as simple and stress-free as possible as Jogi helped us find and purchase a piece of land that we would have thought was out of our budget. We got an amazing deal and are beyond happy with Jogi and ABC. Everything about dealing with ABC inspired confidence and projected sense of ethics that made us feel really comfortable. I absolutely and without hesitation would recommend Jogi and his team at ABC, they are the best at what they do, they enjoy it, and that shows. Thanks again.

We started the process of buying a lot a few months back ,contacted several agencies in Tamarindo however talking to Federico at ABC Real Estate really made us feel great about this important step, very helpful , never pushy, and the most important thing we felt we could trust him, being away from Costa Rica he put together a package of lots to see when we arrived. He took us to all of them in order to make an informed decision. We purchased a lot in Langosta and we are very happy about it, good investment and the lawyer he suggested was prompt and very helpful as well. We want to recommend this agency to anyone looking to invest in this amazing country Buena Vida

Hallo lieber Jogi, wir danken dir sehr fuer all deine Aktivitaeten, die unsere Erwartungen uebertroffen und schließlich zum Erfolg geführt haben. Wir koennen dich und dein Team sehr empfehlen -professionell und immer zuverlässig – und werden auch in Zukunft gerne mit dir in Kontakt bleiben. pura vida

It was a pleasure working with Jogi and ABC Real Estate when my house was recently sold in a matter of a few weeks. Jogi is professional and capable- his advice is based on experience and the needs of his client, and I appreciate the ease of listing and selling Casa Camille. I also appreciate the promptness of Jogi to respond to any questions or concerns that arise when listing and selling a home. I strongly recommend to anyone considering a purchase or a sale of a property in Costa Rica to touch base with Jogi and ABC Realty. Thanks again

Our experience was Phenomenal!! I know this purchase was very small and compared to probably many of the other transactions you deal with every month – it still meant the world to us and you treated us as though it was a million dollar estate. I actually felt very guilty knowing the amount of legwork you had to pull off to get this property for us. I am still in disbelief that it actually happened and YOU made it happen. We tried for years to find the owners of that property and you found them and contacted them on our behalf. I am also still in shock at the great price you got it for us at as well… There is an enormous advantage to working with ABC above all others in the area. Jogi and his team are ridiculously connected and are very involved in the community. Your sincere commitment to preserving the environment you work in is extraordinary. I can’t recommend you enough and I feel very fortunate to have made the connection with you and Verena and your amazing staff.

Queria agradecer a todo el equipo de ABC, en especial a Federico, mi agente!! La verdad es que desde el primer momento me trataron con mucha seriedad y dandome toda la importancia como a cualquier otro. Siempre respetaron los acuerdos y estuvieron presentes en todo momento, es un placer haber cofiado en ellos y desde ya que volveria a contratar a sus servicios.

I am writing to tell everyone about what a pleasure it has been to have worked with Frederico Fernandez of ABC Realty in Tamarindo. I would highly recommend ABC Realty,and especially Frederico Fernandez to work with again. He recently sold a property of mine in Playa Avellanas, his knowledge of real-estate, contract law is accurate, and necessary. He is diligent, honest, personable and understands the area, it’s municipality by laws and property concerns of the different area’s in Guanacasta. He understands buyers needs as well as his sellers and works for the best result. I would not hesitate to use Frederico in any further real-estate transactions.

These words come to my mind, “helpful”, “thoughtful”, “patient”. ABC Real Estate (Jogi) helped us to find the best Attorney for our purchase. ABC Real Estate (Jogi) answered all of our questions and provided us with a detail synopsis of the events that would transpire during the purchase process. ABC Real Estate (Jogi) stood by us when executing each event and he was respectful to the seller’s wishes. Providing us 100% attention, always. The ABC Office location and the meeting facilities at the office. Ease of communication and quickness of response to our questions. We soon will be working with ABC again on selling our home. We have often mentioned ABC to others when they ask and we will continue to do so. As far as we are concerned, ABC is the only Real Estate business we will deal with in Costa Rica.

Quiero agradecer especialmente por este medio a Federico Fernandez de ABC Real Estate porque en todo momento fue una ayuda en la busqueda de un terreno que finalmente compramos. No es solamente vender un terreno sino ayudar al comprador a que elija lo mejor, acompañarlo en todo momento y seguirlo en el proceso, cosa que otros Real Estates solo van por la comision y no les importa el cliente . Gracias Federico no solo compre un terreno sino que en el trascurso de la compra me hice de un amigo.

In general we had a great experience. We were looking for a lot or house to buy and ended up with a very nice lot in Tamarindo with the help of Jogi. What we liked most was that Jogi was very commited through the whole process. Yes absolutely, I would deal again with ABC or recommend them to others in the future.

The process was very simple and straight forward. Federico made the process extremely easy. It was, in fact, easier than buying property in the United States. Federico went above and beyond what I am accoustomed to real estate agents doing. He made it so easy and pleasant. I would happily use ABC in the future and I would recommend them without hesitation.

Hi Mark ,as always our experience with ABC was very good and professional. Your knowledge of the potential buyers and available properties is always a benefit for the buyer and sellers. We will continue recommending you and ABC for all real estate transactions. One item I still think is important, but not a business practice in Tamarindo, is the MLS (Multiple Listing Concept) with all brokerage companies. The customer may think they are looking at all available houses, but they are not. Each companies listings are way to guarded from other brokers. A buyer has to actually hire brokers from each company if they really want to get a true picture of what is for sale. I think a list of all available properties would be a great benefit. Just a few thoughts, but as you know we are very appreciative of all your hard work. Thank you and hope to see you soon.

Dealing with ABC and Jogi was a pure pleasure. I had “heard” of Jogi when we lived there in 2005 and when I realized he was also representing the seller in our deal; it seemed worth the email to reach out and inquire. He was very professional and quick in responses; I asked many questions trying to understand the entire situation before committing to purchase the property and Jogi was very patient and forthcoming with information; it was a very simple process and we enjoyed very much working with ABC and Jogi. I will definitely use his services and expertise in the future for any other real estate transactions. Be assured; the next time we are in town we will come by the offices and say Hello and finally put a face to the name. it has been a pleasure and a great experience!

Excellent! Jogi and the crew are so professional and know how to get the job done! Enjoyed the experience and would certainly recommend ABC to others! Much aloha from Kauai.

Thank you to you, Jogi for ALL that you have done for us over the years. It has been a pleasure to work with you. Your positivity, willingness to go the “ extra mile” and your professionalism have been a blessing to us. It was a bittersweet decision to sell our lot .Tamarindo/Langosta is a special place. Thank you to you, Felipe and all of your staff members who made this such a smooth transaction. I hope the new owners love the property. Perhaps someday we will return to see what they have done. Happy Holidays.

We’ve worked with ABC for the past 10 years and have always trusted Jogi’s knowledge and experience, we have succesfully sold two houses and bought one lot through them and would definitively work with them again in the future.

Jogi, You have been a great pleasure to work with in Tamarindo, and you were essential to us to purchase a piece of Paradise! I would gladly answer your questions regarding my experience working with you.The overall experience was A+. You would be considered in the top 5% of realtors here in California and the whole United States. Only the best of the best, can be considered in the top 5%. Your knowledge of the local real estate market is very important to me when working with a realtor. You knew about all the properties in town and the history behind alot of the developments and the real estate people in Tamarindo and Langosta. As we saw on our visit, you were considered the “Alcalde” of Tamarindo/Langosta. I think when people around town have very nice things to say about you, then that is very important and says alot about you as a person and as a realtor.I think the best thing about dealing with you (since you are ABC Real Estate) is the knowledge you have about the market, and also the time and patience you took with me and my brother, to tour available lotes, and also tour homes/condos in the area. You helped us with meetings, such as Ricardo and Brad, and also willing to set up future meetings with architects and designers that will help us in the future to build our homes. You are also willing to go above and beyond your scope of work, by helping us in the future with cutting the grass and watching over the lotes, and also with building the metal fence etc. We were there for only 4 days in Tamarindo, however, you spent every day with us and helped us get comfortable with the market, the real estate, and our purchase of the lotes. I think that your customer service is impeccable.I would deal with you again anyday. Hopefully soon, we can continue to purchase more real estate in Tamarindo with your help. You will be the first one we call. We will also gladly recommend you to all our friends that are considering to purchase property in Tamarindo/Langosta.I can’t think of anything that you could do better. I think you are doing a great job, that is why I believe you are very successful in real estate.Well, maybe there is one thing — you can purchase a 4-wheel drive limosine with good air-conditioning, beer, soda and food, that would be very nice to ride around in Tamarindo/Langosta during the property tours (una broma :-))My brothers and I think that it’s a good sign that we met you, Jogi, as our realtor, and now as our friend. As we say in the United States, “things happen for a reason.”Muchisimas Gracias Otra Vez, Jogi.

I recently sold my house using ABC Realty as the agent. I must say that dealing with the company was professional, trouble-free and a pleasant experience. I would definitely do business with them again.

ABC Real Estate is really excellent and I strongly recommend them. They sold my condo very quickly! Prior to working with them, I had listed my unit unsuccessfully for 5 years with most of the other real estate firms in Tamarindo. ABC has agents who are very motivated. I highly recommend my agent, Federico Jose Fernandez. He is an excellent communicator. I always knew when my condo was being shown and to whom, and he communicated prospective buyer feedback very quickly. It was a pleasure to work with the dedicated and professional team at ABC Real Estate.

Dear Jogi, I wanted to take a minute to thank you and ABC Real Estate for all you help in selling our land in Costa Rica. Since we are unfamiliar with the way things work in regard to selling property in CR it was great to have someone we knew that we could trust. The sale seemed to be a bit challenging at times with the closing date being postponed again and again due to the fact that we needed a government document but us kept assuring us that things would go well and you were right. Thank you so much for all you help and your kind attention to my frequent emails. Feel free to have a potential client contact me via email if they would like a recommendation. I would be happy to give you a glowing one! Thank you again.

Hola Mark, ante todo mil disculpas por la tardanza pero realmente hemos estado bastante full de trabajo y no he tenido tiempo de contestarte, para nosotros fue un gusto volver a verte y una gran satisfacción haber trabajado contigo en estos años de venta de Maria Bonita, sinceramente no tenemos palabras por toda la profesionalidad y disposición que tuviste con nosotros TODO EL TIEMPO, nunca un NO de respuesta al contrario siempre dispuesto a colaborar con nosotros y aconsejándonos para siempre una venta, muchísimas gracias por todo, en cuanto ABC no tengo quejas, el cierre fue perfecto sin ningún contratiempo contando que teníamos el tiempo exacto y se hicieron con tiempo de antelación todos los papeles relacionados al cierre para no tener inconvenientes a ultimo momento, lo que indica tener un buen personal como tu e Iván que se porto muy bien también. Muchas gracias por el envío del registro de la hipoteca, signo otra vez de trabajo eficaz, por supuesto no dudaríamos en trabajar contigo nuevamente y recomendarlos a nuestros amigos para sus ventas, de hecho ya lo hemos hecho. Nada importante para todo lo excelente que trabajamos pero es una opinion, ya sabes estamos a la orden aqui en el ombligo del mundo, un placer de nuevo conocerte y trabajado contigo, saludos al equipo de ABC, mil gracias……..

Choosing a real estate agent in Costa Rica is a lot like selecting a surgeon for a hip replacement. You want a veteran surgeon who has done thousands of successful surgeries, not an intern that’s going to “learn” on you. You want a surgeon that all the anesthesiologists say is “gifted” not just good. And at the end of the day you want the guy that’s going to improve your health, not ruin it with complications. Buying, or selling, real estate in Costa Rica can be a good or bad experience based on the real estate agency you choose. You want someone that’s been around the block, SEVERAL TIMES, someone who really knows the market, knows the players, knows which properties to avoid and which ones to consider. In short, you can’t go wrong with ABC. I brought my family down to Tamarindo for a year before deciding to purchase property down here. Over the course of the year I got a lot of positive feedback from people in the area saying ABC was a good company to do business with, which is why I chose them. Jogi knows the area really well. He’s lived here a long time and has seen everything when it comes to doing real estate transactions down here. I just purchased a lot that is located on a hillside here in town. Jogi was very helpful when it came to getting a soil stability test performed, property lines resurveyed, coordinating things with the attorneys, the seller, etc. He constantly kept me updated on things from start to finish, which was really important. Bottom-line, I’d highly recommend using ABC.

Ciao Mark, I’m sorry for the delay in responding, but as you can imagine I had so many things to put in place. I can answer that since from the beginning I felt in the right hands able to sell Casa Luisa at reliable and credible people. All people starting from Jurgen untill last one were polite and well prepared to solve any request. There’s no better Real Estate selling properties than ABC in Tamarindo Guanacaste. A sincere hug to everyone nd who knows….., a goodbye.

I had been trying to sell my lot in Palm Beach Estates, Playa Grande for quite some time, but with no luck. I listed with Federico J. Fernandez of ABC Real Estate April 30, 2014 and the lot sold, closing escrow May 19, 2014. Federico was very diligent and worked hard on my behalf locating a buyer and helping me work through the selling process. Not living in Costa Rica made doing business difficult for me personally, but ABC Real Estate took care of everything. I highly recommend ABC Real Estate and most definitely would work with them again. – Former owner of Palm Beach Estates lot #157

I first got in touch with Jogi from ABC real estate, through friends’ recommendations. As I like doing my own property search, Jogi guided me on where to search and who to get in touch with. I did not buy any property from him, but used him as my agent. He helped me with all the right contacts for paper work etc…, and also warned me about what to look out for in my search, like to make sure that there are water and electricity services. I was very grateful for his German efficiency. I ended up finding a great piece of land for an excellent price, and I think I gained a friend in the process who will come visit me in Ibiza.

Nous venons de vendre notre maison, Casa Camilla par l’intermediaire de l’agence ABC real estate. Nous recommendons fortement leur service, leur qualite et professionalisme. Ils ont aide les nouveaux proprietaires a s’installer, ouvrir un compte en banque et regler les divers problemes administratifs contrairement a d’autres agences qui une fois leur comission payee ne donnent plus signe de vie. Si nous devions vendre ou acheter un bien, notre choix serait sans hesitation ABC real estate

Jogi and the entire ABC team, We are so greatly pleased with our home buying experience, thanks to the professional services of ABC. Jogi was generous with his time and attention to detail. He kept us informed of the process every step of the way. He assured us that it was possible to handle all of our transactions, though we resided far away. And his quick responses to our concerns and issues that developed in the process made our dream come true. We have and will continue to urge others to choose ABC for their real estate needs in Tamarindo. They have provided services that were over and above our expectations. Even helping us to set up our bank account! With sincere respect

Normally, I do not like so much real estate agents, but you have been a true professional that anyone would feel confident with, and I assure you that I will recommend your company to those people that I know are currently considering Costa Rica.

We found dealing with ABC easy, you kept us informed along the way until the deal was completed and we would recommend you to others. As a matter of fact we have. The only glitch was at the closing. The atty for the buyer was not very professional in having the parties who attended the closing wait for over two hours. It was disrespectful and unprofessional. Had we been informed prior we could have changed the time of the meeting so that our atty could reschedule his other apps. Other than that we are enjoying Florida even tho we are homeless in Costa Rica! Thank you, again, for your assistance in getting the transaction completed.

Jogi, Thank you so much for all of your help in our real estate needs. You were a pleasure to work with and very knowledgeable. We were very happy with the level of service we received and we appreciated your straight-forward, non-pressuring approach. We would highly recommend your services and would be happy to work with you again in the future. Thanks again.

Working with ABC Real Estate and Jogi was a very positive experience. Jogi always goes the extra mile to help you before and after the sale. When and if I buy again in Costa Rica, Jogi would be the first to call. And of cause I would recommend him to my friends.

We first dealt with Juergen Gerner (Jogi) in September, 1998 when we used his services to purchase our condo at Villas Langosta on Playa Langosta in Costa Rica. We were impressed with his professional conduct during the construction phase of our condo. He worked with us and the developer right through to the successful completing of the project. Even though we were in Canada, he kept us informed of the construction progress and e-mailed us pictures to actually show us our condo being built. This allowed us to participate in decisions during the construction phase. When we decided that our life priorities had changed and it was time to sell our condo, we automatically went to Jogi and ABC Real Estate. We feel that ABC Real Estate did everything possible to present our condo to prospective buyers during a very difficult real estate environment. We successfully closed the sale of our condo in May, 2013 and again Jogi was instrumental in the dealings between us and the buyers and the Costa Rican lawyers. We highly recommend ABC Real Estate in general and Jurgen Gerner (Jogi) in particular for any and all real estate dealings.

Regarding my experience working with you and your organization, it most certainly could not have been any better. ABC is a company that stands above all others in Tamarindo. I feel so strongly about the high level of professionalism at ABC that I would want to work with you and your team. Our experience was fantastic and we have recommended you and your company to other interested parties.

As always Jogi, you and your team are the most efficient and professional group we deal with. Having regular property transactions in the U.S. we really appreciate the level of service, knowledge and above all HONESTY we receive from ABC Realty. I can’t recommend your organization enough. From the first time we purchased our second home approximately 3 years ago, you have always been available and helped us with the most ridiculous questions and answered any and all questions well after the sale of the home. In addition, it really helps working with you because you are very connected in the area and well respected. We felt so COMFORTABLE working with you, when it came the time we were ready to purchase additional lots in Tamarindo to develop, we did not hesitate to have your organization represent us. We never had to be present for any of our closings and we really can’t thank you enough for everything you have done for us to make our transition into paradise so effortless!!P.S.: David’s exact words were “Man, I wish we had a realtor like Jogi here in the states to do business with. Our transactions would be easier and more professional

Our general experience working with ABC Realty was excellent. We really appreciate all that you have done to make the experience of moving to a new country with a new language go as smoothly as possible. We were very pleased with your quick responses to our email inquiries regarding the transaction, and also all the help with logistics outside of the real estate transactions. I would say that we are extremely satisfied with the service that you provided, and would not hesitate to deal with ABC Realty again. And we would also highly recommend Federico and ABC Realty, to anyone we know looking for property in Costa Rica.Again, thank you for making what could have been a difficult transaction, very easy for us. You have gone out of your way to make our lives easier, and we appreciate your help.

Our experience with ABC was World Class. We were never pressured over the course of 4-5 years by Mark or Jogi to purchase a home or lot. They were always willing to show us any property that we were interested in during each visit we had to Tamarindo and were very conscious of our timing and prerequisites. The whole process of purchasing from a foreign country is very nerve racking but Mark did everything to reassure us of our concerns.We enjoyed every aspect including the professionalism by Mark, openness to our ideas and dream, and continuous effort to find what we were looking for. He even connected us up with an incredible lawyerThere is no doubt in our mind that we would use ABC again and we’ve already spoken to our friends and family about our incredible experiences with ABC. We are looking forward to working with the crew on our next adventure!

Hola Jogi, Thank you for your kind words and also your patience with our purchase Villa Langosta #6. Your e-mail gave me the courage to move forward with our purchase when I was about ready to give up. Thank you for your reference of Ivan Granados-he was very professional and helpful when we needed it most.You seemed to know how much I liked the condo (I would be terrible at poker) and fought for us to have it. Although we did not feel pressured at all. Would I use ABC Realty again-you bet! Would I recommend ABC Realty to people purchasing property in Tamarindo/Costa Rica-absolutely!Thank you to you and your team for a job well done.

Hello Jogi, thank-you for your professional service in helping us purchase our dream property in Tamarindo/Langosta, Costa Rica. We are excited about spending time in our “new to us” condo on the beach at Langosta. Your advice in getting the right legal assistance was perfect. We could not have managed without this. The lawyer you recommended did a professional and efficient job of making certain everything was checked as the purchase was finalized. We will be recommending you and your company to friends as they visit us in our new condo in Langosta, Costa Rica.

I am so happy that Karen and Coby Kriegshauser recommended Mark Venegas and ABC realty. It is so difficult to purchase a property when living so far away. Mark answered all of my emails in a timely manner and went above and beyond helping me since I could not do everything in person. I relied on Mark to arrange a day of property showings, make arrangements with an attorney, and provide me with every bit of information I needed. Since Mark was so diligent in showing properties that I would like and could afford, I felt very comfortable asking his opinion. Much of our time on this transaction was conducted via email from Costa Rica to Australia where I was on vacation. I would recommend Mark and ABC to anyone wanting to make a purchase in Costa Rica.What I liked most about working with ABC and with Mark was that the communication never ceased. Mark was very punctual in answering every email and helping me find a property manager. In my move to Costa Rica, I have many more questions than just buying property and Mark helped with everything. Mark even put me in touch with an international shipping company.I would highly recommend ABC realty to anyone. I enjoyed the “small” feel of the company rather than some huge company where I would just be another number. Also, I wasn’t a high-end buyer, but still felt important and that my purchase was important.Quite honestly, I can’t think of anything ABC could do better. The whole process was really easy and not stressful at all!

Me dear friend Jogi: I bet yo forgot I would send over this testimonial with a extremely high endorsement there are three area that stand out about you:professionalism, command of the market and your ability to listen and understand what the customer needs. Regarding professionalism I was referred to you by a neighbors sister from the US and from the second we met you made feel safe and welcome.as far as command of the market you were able to explain the different ares of Costa Rica and ask questions that would cull down our search to find the to identify potential pretties and you were also,willing to share needs with other Realtors in other sections to help make the best match. Finally you ability to listen is key. You did not try to push property that was not a fit.As I said this our first look into Costa Rica and I know you will me able to find the property for my family God Bless

Hello Jogi, as you know this is my second time I do business with ABC. I was very pleased with the service when I bought the house and again when I sold it. What I particular liked is the ongoing feedback. Federico always kept me updated. It was a pleasure working with him and also with you. Even at closing I felt support to have both of you guys there and I noticed the buyer was without any representation from his broker. Again was a pleasure working with you and if I ever sell my house at Pinilla I will be knocking on your door.Thanks and all the Best

OK, the experiance we had was great. Our agent was the best, he made everything as easy as possible and went out of his way to get copies of documents that were needed and to keep us in the loop as the timeline progressed. The selection of “—-” made things even more comfortable. Federico worked thru some serious personal issues and still handled the sales process professionally. Jogi who filled in for Federico during the actual transaction gave us the moral support that put us over the top.The down side of the transaction was the delays in getting some of the documentation from “—–“, the sales break down sheet didn’t arrive until the night before. The other problem occured after the transaction was complete. We received a urgent message from Juan Carlos that that the Corporate books were required with our signature. We got this message after we had disolved our corporation and we checking into our hotel at the airport in San Jose. I would suggest using a checklist for all the requirements. Overall, we were very pleased with everything and we would use and recommend ABC in the future.

Karen and I were happy about the job that you did for us. We couldn’t think of any issues or problems that we disliked. We will forward all interested parties to you and you would come highly recommended. Who knows, we may do more business in the future. The main thing that made me comfortable was that you came highly recommended by Bobby and that Mark was from the US and was familiar with both ways of transactions. See Ya Soon!

We thought you were professional honest and responsive. We appreciate all of your help and that you went the extra mile for us particularly your help with the shippers and thoughtful negotiations between us and buyer always tricky when u are representing both sides. We are glad you made the sale.

Jogi is the real estate agent on the deal for my land purchase. I’ve gotten to know Jogi on a trip to Tamarindo last year and then again this year. He and his fine staff were instrumental in showing us properties that suited our needs and in getting us comfortable with the country as a place to possibly retire, and at least invest. We spoke to several real estate agents down there over the past few years and Jogi’s the best. Let me know if I can be of help to you.Jogi, feel free to give my name, email, phone, etc. as a reference to any U.S. people who come in your door. I’ll tell them what a great experience we had with your agency.

Hi Mark, Our general experience was great. You treated us like we were royalty from beginning to end. Tj and I can’t think of anything you could have done better. Yes we would recommend you to others. Your customer service was excellent. The whole team gave us a Spotlight experience. Now that we will be neighbors, …I can say …see you later! Thanks for everything.

My experience was good with ABC. The network and relationship developed by ABC’s principal allow for a step by step approach to sensitive deals in Costa Rica with a successful ending benefiting all parties. ABC understands and promotes the need for protection of the investor & investment while negotiating. Yes I would work again with ABC and refer ABC to others in the future.

Thank you so much Jogi! You were an absolute professional through this whole process and we appreciate all that you did. Take care and we hope to come see how Tamarindo progresses in the years to come!

We bought two properties via ABC in 2003 and their internationally diverse group was very helpful in understanding what was going on in Tamarindo and Guanacaste in general. They really know how things work and don’t work in this environment. Yet they were very professional about saying “We can’t answer that” when a question went outside their area of familiarity. There was no bluffing. I think ABC is a good agency both for home-seekers and developers.Then in 2011 we put ABC to the test with a very challenging real estate sale. We had moved out of Costa Rica and our remaining property was in a bad state – plus squatters had moved in. Jogi at ABC had some helpful suggestions about the squatters – a situation with no good remedy. We initially rejected a low offer and ABC then persevered and got us an offer we were happy with. With the squatters and other complications, it took an entire year and massive patience and negotiation to finally close the sale. Jogi was totally professional throughout, month after month. Many others would have just blown up, or given up in frustration. Jogi had to shepherd our deal for 12 months. If you are looking for a broker who is extremely knowledgeable–and honest about which situations have answers and which ones don’t, then definitely call ABC. I think ABC has an advantage in addressing European buyers – which is important these days. If you require a broker with great patience and maturity, who thinks through each situation carefully, or if the deal is complex, talk to Jogi.

Hi Jogi, thank you for helping me sell my lot. I had a great experience with your company; I would recommend your company and have in the past. I think your and Verenas personalities and professionalism was what I liked best about my experience with you. I’ll be in touch.

Overall, working with ABC Real Estate was an excellent experience. Mark and Jogi were both extremely helpful, and a pleasure to work work with. They were friendly, honest, forthright, professional, and generous with their time, always willing to answer questions and clarify information. Mark went out of his way to help during the entire purchase process, and was always available to assist with anything I needed. I would definitely work with ABC again, and I recommend them highly to anyone looking to purchase or sell property in Tamarindo.

Mark, we enjoyed working with you and ABC. Very Professional and you gave us a quick response on the entire showing. Mark seem to know the market really well and also gave us insight of local and government events.”We would deal again with ABC or recommend them to others in the future, absolutely.

Jogi,the deal has closed. I want to thankyou for selling our condo,you did a very good job, you are a true professional.

Extremely professional and very pleasant. Jogi was highly responsive, very thorough and detail-oriented, and helped facilitate transaction. He was a pleasure to work with. I would absolutely deal again with ABC, and highly recommend them to others.

When our condo originally went on the market, we worked with Gary and Jolene. We had a wonderful experience with them when we bought our condo.In terms of the selling process, we felt that the listing price ended up not being terribly realistic, and that Gary and Jolene were not terribly proactive in working with us to sell the property quickly, even though we felt we had conveyed a sense of urgency. Once they retired, working with Jogi was a more positive experience. Jogi was more proactive in keeping us updated with buyer feedback, and helped us to negotiate a price with our eventual buyer. Overall, we’re happy with ABC and consider your firm the premier real estate agency in Tamarindo. We appreciated everybody’s honesty and professionalism, including Gary and Jolene, and appreciated Jogi’s ability to find a buyer for our property. I would recommend ABC to other buyers and sellers.

Our experience with ABC was nothing short of fantastic! Jogi, was involved and interested in our finding a home from the outset of our contact. He aided us at every turn, including supplying us with precise instructions & mapping out how to get from San Jose to the property near Tamarindo, some 3 1/2 to 4 hours away. He aided all our discussions with the owners and remained involved throughout the purchase/sale of “Our” new home.It truly was a pleasant and ultimately successful experience. Jogi, of ABC anticipated our every need, and immediately responded to every question or message that we sent to him.When dealing in another country it was so much easier because of his(Jogi) easy & immediate communication, he never left us with unanswered questions.We have already started praising ABC, Jogi and our very positive experience with ABC to our friends & colleagues.Our honest opinion is that you exceeded are wants/needs in every way; I believe both your communication & style were those things that made this a great positive experience for both of us. You never let us down in anyway, as many other RE Agents have done, by misrepresenting a property or by being unwilling to get information we had requested.

My experience has been outstanding with your firm and specifically Jogi. We became good friends throughout the experience and his professionalism and honesty is unmatched! What a really good character he is! I was quite concerned doing business in Costa Rica in the beginning and once I met Jogi, my worries were over. I will do business again in the future, for sure, once business here in the U.S. picks up again. The property Jogi sold my partner and me was very clean legally and was everything and more, as Jogi represented it to be.Thanks again Jogi for everything and I salute your kindness and honesty! You are a true professional.

My experience with ABC was very good. Jogi was straight to the point and handled everything perfectly. In all honesty it was the easiest transaction I have ever had to deal with. I would use ABC again, recommend them whole heartedly to anybody in CR.

Hola Jogi, debo decir la verdad estuvimos muy contentos con usted, para mi ABC es usted, pienso que usted es una persona honrada, seria, que sabe hacer el comercio tratando tambien de ayudar que las partes obtengan su negocio y queden contentos, de seguro que si alguien nos pregunta, estamos para recomendar otras personas a trabajar con ABC mas bien con su persona. No sabria que decir para mejorar el servicio, a nosotros nos ha quedado bien asi como estuvo!!!!!! Gracias por todo

Dear Jogi, I would like to thank you, Mark and all at ABC Real Estate for helping us find our wonderful condo on the beach in Langosta. We had been looking in Tamarindo for some time and were fortunate to inadvertently walk into your offices to see what was listed. That very same afternoon we went with you to see several properties and were very excited to find exactly what we were looking for that first day. The whole process was easy from the very first offer we made to the seller’s acceptance and the ultimate closing. You and your staff helped us handle an unusual and complicated closing with ease and professionalism. We have bought many properties over the years but I can’t recall a purchase or sale that went so quickly and smoothly. In the future, if ever we are looking to buy or sell real estate in Costa Rica, we will certainly turn to ABC first. I will also recommend your service to anyone looking for property here. Thanks for everything!

My experience in regards to selling with ABC Real Estate was very good. I liked the easy and good response time. Yes, I would deal again with ABC or recommend them to others in the future.

Are you kidding me? Y’all did everything right! Mark, you are a rock star in my eyes!

It was “easy” working with you and your staff. Quite honestly, wish there was less “drama” with transactions of the same here in the states! I could go on and on about how we loved you all, but we would fill up this whole page! We really can’t thank you enough and we were happy we had found you. We appreciated how honest your opinions are – and your knowledge of the area, culture and system in Costa Rica was remarkable. I Would deal again with ABC or recommend us to others in the future, Absolutely!Really don’t think you could have done much better unless maybe you bought the house for us! LOL!

I had a very positive experience in regards to my real estate transaction with ABC Real Estate. I was kept apprised of the status of our listing and was offered realistic feedback as to pricing, timing, and expectations.I appreciated the accessibility of our agent, Jogi. My questions and concerns were answered timely and thoroughly. Lastly and most importantly, I felt comfortable with Jogi representing our best interests without significant involvement on my part.I would definitely use the services of Jogi and ABC in the future and would refer others as well.The one area in which some improvement could have been realized was with the marketing photos of our unit. The strongest feature of our condo was the beachfront location and the extraordinary white water views from our balcony and living spaces. Other photos could have been taken which would have better illustrated this strong selling point.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

What I do like about dealing with ABC is, support and assistance, teamwork, knowledge of the area and market, continuity, and follow up assistance.

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!

L’ affare e’ stato conveniente, veloce e senza problemi chiarezza, professionalita’ e competenza sicuramente se vorremo investire ancora a Tamarindo ci rivolgeremo a voi.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

THE VERY BEST, PROFESSIONAL STAFF. HONEST, VERY HELPFUL. JOGI MADE US FEEL COMFORTABLE.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

I listed the sale of my property, a nice penthouse condo, with ABC. Even throughout the COVID pandemic they remained resolute in getting my property sold at a fair price. I worked with multiple members of their professional team who were very responsive and looked out for my best interest. Even as some buyers tried to lowball me ABC stood by my side until we got a solid buyer with a fair offer. I would gladly do business with them again. All aspects of the listing and sale were expertly handled and responses were always timely. Thanks ABC for getting me a good deal and walking it through escrow to closing. Federico was my agent and I recommend him without reservation.
