List your Jacó property free. Pay nothing until it sells.
No listing fee. No marketing fee. Nothing monthly. And it is an open listing, so you can list with us and with every other agent you like at the same time — whoever brings the buyer is the one who gets paid.
Jacó is the beach most of San José can reach in an afternoon. Since Route 27 opened, the drive is short enough that Costa Rican families keep weekend apartments here, and that is what makes this market different from Guanacaste. You are selling to two audiences at the same time, one foreign and one local, and they behave nothing alike.
It is also the most built-up stretch of the Central Pacific. There are a lot of condominiums, and in a listing a lot of them look the same. Presentation and an honest price do more work in Jacó than almost anywhere else we sell.
Where we take listings: Jacó centro, Playa Hermosa, Herradura and Los Sueños, Punta Leona, Playa Agujas, Playa Bejuco and Esterillos.
What sells here: Condominiums of every size, marina residences at Los Sueños, ocean-view homes and lots in the hills behind town, rental apartments, and small hotels and businesses.
Two very different buyers. Costa Rican and Central Valley buyers looking for a weekend place, who come and see it in person, decide quickly and negotiate hard. And foreign buyers, usually thinking about rental income, who want the numbers before they get on a plane.
The questions are practical. What the condominium fees are and what they actually cover. Who manages the rentals and what the unit has earned. What the salt air has done to the railings, the windows and the air conditioning. How old the roof is. Whether parking comes with it.
Because so much of Jacó is condominium stock, buyers compare buildings before they compare units. If yours is well run and the reserve fund is in good shape, that belongs in the listing rather than in an email three weeks later.
- List with as many agents as you like, and sell it yourself if you find the buyer
- Every agent has to actually produce a buyer to earn anything
- Walk away whenever you want — nothing binds you to us
- More agents showing it means more people see it
- One agency holds it for a fixed term, often six months or a year
- They earn the fee even if somebody else finds the buyer, or if you do
- After the first flurry of calls, a lot of exclusives simply sit there
- If the agency loses interest, you wait out the contract
On an exclusive our payday is protected the day it is signed. On an open listing it is not protected at all. That is exactly why we prefer it.
Two things, and neither is difficult. Keep the price the same everywhere — nothing kills a sale faster than a buyer finding your house at three prices on three websites. And tell every agent when something changes: a price adjustment, a new roof, a tenant moving out, an offer under negotiation.
Send the address, the price you want and whatever photos are on your phone. That is enough for us to tell you whether we can help and what we would do with it. There is no contract to sign and nothing to pay.
