Selecting a Costa Rica Realtor® means finding someone who understands your goals, knows the local market, and communicates clearly.
Additionally, whether you are buying a home, selling land, or comparing investment properties, you need practical information.
They should also be available to answer your questions throughout the process.
I’m David Hernández Mussio, REALTOR® and Broker/Owner of Magnolia Real Estate.
I work directly with buyers and sellers in Guanacaste and other areas of Costa Rica.
Additionally, from the initial conversation through closing, I provide personalized guidance.
First, my approach is straightforward: understand what you want to accomplish, explain the options, and help you make informed decisions.
Professional Memberships and the REALTOR® Designation
I am a member of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), authorized to use the REALTOR® designation.
Additionally, I am a member of CRGAR, the Costa Rica Global Association of REALTORS®.
The REALTOR® designation identifies membership in NAR and a commitment to its Code of Ethics.
For my clients, those principles are reflected in how I communicate.
Additionally, I present information and approach my responsibilities throughout a transaction.
Additionally, my professional connections in Costa Rica help me collaborate with other agents.
They also connect clients with appropriate legal, escrow, property management, and construction professionals.
Local Knowledge for Your Costa Rica Property Search
Costa Rica real estate varies considerably by location. A condominium in Playas del Coco, a home in Tamarindo, and a residential lot in Sardinal each require a different conversation about budget, access, upkeep, and intended use.
Additionally, my work focuses on Guanacaste real estate.
It includes listings in the region.
- Playas del Coco, Playa Hermosa, and Playa Panama: Homes, condominiums, and land around the Gulf of Papagayo.
- Ocotal and surrounding communities: Residential properties and coastal settings close to Playas del Coco.
- Tamarindo and Playa Langosta: Properties for buyers considering these established beach communities.
- Flamingo and Potrero: Homes, condos, and land along Guanacaste’s northern Pacific coast.
- Sardinal and Liberia: Options for buyers considering inland communities and access to everyday services.
I also assist with property searches in the Central Valley, including San José, Escazú, Santa Ana, Alajuela, and Heredia.
Additionally, I also handle property sales in the same area.
The goal is to match the location to your priorities.
Moreover, travel time, road access, nearby services, and community rules can matter.
Additionally, ongoing ownership costs can matter as much as the property itself.
Buying Property in Costa Rica
Additionally, when you contact me about buying property in Costa Rica, I start with your budget and plans.
I also consider your preferred location and timeline.
Are you looking for a new place to call home?
Additionally, are you seeking a vacation property?
Furthermore, are you seeking land for construction?
Additionally, are you seeking a property you intend to rent?
Those answers help narrow the search and identify the questions that need attention.
I help you compare suitable listings, arrange showings, prepare offers, and coordinate with the professionals involved in the transaction. Additionally, through listing networks and cooperation with other agencies, your search can extend beyond Magnolia’s own listings.
Looking Beyond the Listing Photos
A useful property search considers more than bedrooms, square meters, and asking price. Additionally, depending on the property, topics to investigate may include:
- Water availability and utility connections.
- Road access and practical travel times.
- Property condition and likely maintenance needs.
- Condominium fees and community rules.
- Suitability for your intended use.
- Documentation requiring review by your attorney.
I help organize the questions and follow-up.
Moreover, you can evaluate properties with a clearer understanding of what you are considering.
Selling Your Property with Magnolia Real Estate
Selling property in Costa Rica starts with a realistic pricing strategy and clear presentation.
Additionally, it requires a plan to reach relevant buyers.
I work directly with you to identify your property’s strengths.
Additionally, I explain them clearly so buyers understand.
This includes accurate descriptions, useful property details, and marketing tailored to the property’s location and type.
My marketing channels include Magnolia’s website, professional listing networks, and international exposure through platforms such as Realtor.com. Additionally, these channels complement cooperation with other real estate agents and agencies.
Throughout the sale, I coordinate inquiries and showings, discuss buyer feedback, and help you evaluate offers. Additionally, I keep you informed as the transaction progresses.

Buying Land to Build in Guanacaste
If you plan to buy land and build a home in Costa Rica, the search should account for the construction.
Additionally, from the beginning, consider all related costs.
A lot’s asking price is only one part of the decision. Moreover, slope, access, utility availability, site preparation, and the proposed layout affect whether the property fits your budget.
Through my work with Magnolia Builders, I bring a construction perspective to these conversations and coordinate technical input.
Additionally, I help buyers comparing land in Guanacaste understand how a site may fit their plans.
What to Look for in a Costa Rica REALTOR®
First, ask about their experience in your target area and their professional memberships. Additionally, inquire about their communication style and approach to working with other agencies.
Discuss who will handle your inquiries and showings.
Additionally, explain how you will receive updates.
Finally, outline which independent professionals should be involved.
I believe you should know who you are working with.
Additionally, you should be able to reach that person.
At Magnolia Real Estate, you work directly with me.
Finally, I take the time to understand your priorities, explain the next steps, and follow up on the details.
