    Use listings as the beginning of due diligence

    An owner-direct conversation can make communication simpler, but it does not replace a Costa Rican notary, title review, survey, municipal research, tax advice, inspection, or a secure closing process. Save the properties that fit, compare their documents and access conditions, and keep deposits contingent on the checks appropriate to the transaction.

    Before arranging a viewing, ask what ownership structure is being sold, whether the land is titled or concession-based, how legal access is recorded, and which survey, utility, tax, condominium, or permit documents are ready for independent review.

    The interactive buyer and seller checklists above turn that principle into a sequence you can save while reviewing listings and documents.

    Do not send a deposit until the recipient, terms, safeguards, and refund conditions have been reviewed.
