Christina Essabba

Christina has lived in Costa Rica for 6 years. She originally traveled to the country 16 years ago, looking for a new adventure. Upon returning home to New York, she knew one day she'd move. Some years later, she packed up and took the plunge. Her business experience is in diverse industries. The common thread being outstanding client service, honest and strong work ethic and high tech marketing skills. Born and raised in New York, she graduated from the School of Visual Arts for photography. This eventually led to working for some of biggest names in the fashion and editorial industry, including SNL, and then became a photo editor for one of the largest agencies in NY. She felt it was time for a new challenge. She'd fulfill a long time goal; owning a business of her own and decided this would be the next adventure. She opened a retail business and became every face of the company from buyer, to accountant, marketing expert, sales associate and much more. After a 1 successful year, she opened her second boutique. During this time NY, she'd also study the real estate market, an interest she'd later cultivate in paradise. Fast forward a few years... Upon her arrival to CR, she kept her eye on the real estate market. Working in sales would marry the love for her home in this paradise with her skills in working closely with people, making connections and meeting client's needs. Christina uses diverse experience and skill to help people looking to start a new chapter of their own in this beautiful country. She understands your vision and will help make them a reality.

In all the excitement of moving to Costa Rica and setting up our new home, I have been remiss in sending you a big “Thank You!”.   I have some sense of how busy Scott Bowers is but we always felt we had your full attention whenever we needed it and Scott Bowers never rushed us. Making such a large decision from Canada had the potential to go sideways in countless ways. Scott Bowers always kept us on track and found answers to our many questions. Scott Bowers helped us bridge the language issues, especially the definition of “furnished”! Cheers and pura vida

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

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

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

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