Our Costa Rica Contacts - Everyone that made our move possible - This is Critical for anyone relocating here

---

Since coming to Costa Rica, we have thankfully fallen into amazing contacts.
This is not typical, as most people have horror stories about one person or another.
Thankfully for us, everyone from our realtors to our lawyers, contractors, bankers and more have worked out perfectly.
I figure it is good for them, and anyone else that may be looking to relocate here to have a list of tried and true contacts here.
Without these people our move here would not have been possible. Please don’t add to this in comments, there are others I am sure, this is just my list 😊

Everyone here speaks English!
