List your Heredia 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.
Heredia is a university city with a busy centre, cooler hills above it towards Barva, San Rafael and Santo Domingo, and quick access to the airport and San José. Buyers come for the value, the schools and the cooler air.
Where we take listings: Heredia centre, Mercedes, San Francisco, Ulloa, and the nearby towns of Barva, San Rafael, Santo Domingo and San Isidro.
What sells here: Family homes and condominiums near the centre and the university, houses with gardens and views in the cooler hills, and apartments that rent well to students and professionals.
Buyers in Heredia are often families, professionals and people working in the business parks nearby. They ask about the drive to San José and the airport, security, parking, and how cool the evenings are up in the hills.
We write the answers into the listing rather than waiting to be asked. A listing that deals with the awkward questions up front gets fewer enquiries and better ones.
A large part of our work is with foreign buyers: Canadians, Americans and Europeans who are moving to Costa Rica or buying a second home. We market to them directly, in English, and many of them are looking in the Central Valley, with Escazú and Santa Ana near the top of their list.
That can help you get a better price. Listing with GAP puts your property in front of foreign buyers as well as the local market, so you are not relying on one group of buyers.
- 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.
