I’m Kelly Brannon, a real estate professional with over 20 years of global experience in the luxury sector. Born in Vancouver, I have lived full-time in Costa Rica since 2010 and currently reside in Playa Brasilito, giving me a deep, firsthand understanding of the communities I represent—both professionally and personally.
As an Associate Broker with Vesta Group, Flamingo Team, I specialize in residential real estate throughout Guanacaste, helping buyers and sellers navigate lifestyle-driven purchases and sales, from full-time retirement homes to vacation residences and investment properties.
In addition to residential real estate, I offer turnkey solutions for developers across Costa Rica. With extensive expertise in real estate development consulting, marketing, and design, I work alongside developers to bring projects from concept to market with a cohesive and strategic approach.
My career began in the luxury yachting industry, where I worked as a Chief Stewardess and Purser on vessels up to 300 feet. The foundation of world-class service, discretion, and attention to detail that I developed in yachting continues to inform my approach to real estate today. Over the years, I have led sales and marketing for boutique brokerages, partnered on exclusive developments, and launched my own consulting and branding firms: Peak Integrated Marketing and Premara Yachting.
I work closely with clients who are seeking more than just a property—they're looking for the right lifestyle, location, and long-term value. Whether you are buying, selling, or launching a new development in Costa Rica, I’m here to help you achieve your vision with experience, integrity, and personalized service.

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!

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.

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.
