List your Belén 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.
Belén is small, organised and right between San José and the airport, with Intel, business parks and the schools of Cariari close by. That makes it one of the easiest places in the Central Valley to sell to families and professionals.
Where we take listings: San Antonio, La Ribera and La Asunción, including Cariari.
What sells here: Condominiums and townhouses in gated communities, family homes near the schools, and larger homes around Cariari.
Buyers here are often professionals and families relocating for work. They ask about the drive to the airport and the business parks, school runs, condominium fees and security.
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.
