List your Uvita 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.
Uvita sits in the middle of the Costa Ballena, and it is still the part of the Pacific coast that feels like it is arriving rather than arrived. The Costanera made it reachable, Marino Ballena brought the whale season, and the hills behind the town filled up with ocean-view property that would cost a great deal more three hours north.
Most of what sells here is in those hills, not on the sand, and that changes the questions completely. Buyers are not asking about beachfront. They are asking whether the lot can actually be built on, where the water comes from, and who owns the road.
Where we take listings: Uvita, Bahía Ballena, Playa Hermosa de Uvita, Dominicalito, Ojochal, Tres Ríos and the hills above the Costanera.
What sells here: Ocean-view homes and lots in the hills, small lodges and B&Bs, fincas and farm land, river and waterfall properties, and houses in the established pockets around Ojochal.
Buyers here lean European and North American, and they come for the nature rather than the nightlife. A lot of them are making a life change rather than buying a second home, which makes them slower, more thorough, and very hard to rush.
Three questions decide most sales in Uvita. Where the water comes from and whether there is a letter for it. Whether the access is a registered right of way or a neighbour’s goodwill. And on a steep lot, how much of it can actually be built on once the setbacks and the slope are taken into account.
They will also ask about internet, how far the nearest hospital is, and what the road is like in the wettest part of the year. None of those are hard questions when you have the answers ready.
If the property runs on a spring, a well or a shared system rather than an ASADA connection, put it in the listing. Buyers here are used to that. What they are not used to is finding out late.
- 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.
