Real Estate Guidance Built Around the Buyer
Buying property in Costa Rica should be exciting—but it should also be carefully planned.
At My Guanacaste Real Estate, we help international buyers navigate the Guanacaste property market with greater clarity, local knowledge, and professional guidance. Our role is not simply to show you properties. It is to help you understand what you are buying, identify potential risks, and make a confident, well-informed decision.
Meet Daniel Clachar
My name is Daniel Clachar, a Costa Rican engineer and CELAFI-licensed real estate advisor specializing in buyer representation in Guanacaste.
My professional background has shaped the way I approach real estate: methodically, transparently, and with close attention to the details that can affect a property’s value, usability, and long-term potential.
I created My Guanacaste Real Estate to provide buyers with something I believe is essential when purchasing property in Costa Rica: a knowledgeable local advisor who looks at the transaction from the buyer’s perspective.
More Than Finding the Right Property
A beautiful view or an attractive listing price is only the beginning.
Before moving forward with a purchase, buyers may need to understand:
Whether the property is titled or located in the Maritime Zone
Road access and registered easements
Water availability and service documentation
Zoning and permitted land use
Construction limitations
Utilities and local infrastructure
Property boundaries and survey plans
Homeowners’ association rules and fees
Closing costs, taxes, and ongoing ownership expenses
The due-diligence process with qualified legal and technical professionals
We help you ask the right questions before you commit.
Our Buyer-First Approach
Our process begins with understanding your goals—not with sending you a list of properties.
We consider how you plan to use the property, your preferred lifestyle, budget, desired location, risk tolerance, and long-term expectations. From there, we help you compare areas and opportunities based on the factors that matter most to you.
Our goal is not to pressure you into a transaction. Our goal is to give you the context and information needed to decide whether a property is truly right for you.
Local Knowledge Matters
Guanacaste is not one single real estate market.
Communities such as Tamarindo, Playa Flamingo, Playas del Coco, Nosara, Sámara, and the surrounding inland areas offer very different combinations of lifestyle, infrastructure, pricing, accessibility, development, and investment potential.
Online listings rarely tell the entire story. Local conditions—including roads, water, seasonal changes, services, and future development—can significantly influence the experience of owning a property.
That local context is an important part of the guidance we provide.
A Coordinated and Transparent Process
A secure real estate purchase requires the participation of qualified professionals.
When appropriate, we help coordinate the process with independent attorneys, notaries, surveyors, engineers, inspectors, property managers, and other specialists. Each professional remains responsible for their respective area of expertise.
We keep communication clear and help you understand what is happening at every stage—from the initial property search to due diligence and closing.
Our Commitment
We believe buyers deserve:
Clear and honest communication
Realistic expectations
Careful property evaluation
Local market context
Respect for their time and budget
No unnecessary sales pressure
Professional support throughout the purchase process
Purchasing property abroad is a significant decision. You should never feel that you are making it alone or without enough information.
