Katy and Larry Benveniste

In 2020, we traded one tropical paradise for another, leaving Maui’s sunny beaches for the shimmering white sands and truly “endless summer” vibe of Tamarindo. After spending 3 unforgettable weeks exploring Costa Rica a few years ago, we fell in love with the “Gold Coast”, and decided to settle in this vibrant beach town. Great people, great food, great weather, and an eco-friendly environment - what’s not to love? Monkeys, Toucans, and sloths, plus whales, and turtles round out our enchanting new world. We are members of the highly successful Coldwell Banker Tamarindo sales team, and look forward to the opportunity to serve and assist you with your real estate needs. We listen to you, and work hard to make sure you find just the right property to fulfill your dreams. Wherever the next phase of your life will take you, we are here to support and guide you. From modest condos to mansions on the beach, it is our privilege to introduce you to all of these great venues, helping you find a property to call your own. Vacation rental opportunities abound here on our “Gold Coast”. These properties can be great investments, bringing income now and appreciation in the future. The bonus is that they can be wonderful family vacation venues, year around, to escape from the winter cold, or bask in the summer sun. Katy is from Los Gatos in California’s Silicon Valley, with over 30 years of real estate sales, leasing, and vacation rental expertise. Larry hails from Seattle,and brings a wealth of sales and marketing experience having spent over 30 years in the automotive industry. Together, we provide the highest level of customer care, dedicated to serving our clients with professionalism and attention to detail. We look forward to assisting you with a property purchase or sale. Contact us anytime, and come down and see us here in Tamarindo! Pura Vida!

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

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!”.

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.

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.

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.
