List your Nosara 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.
Nosara is not a town people stumble into. Buyers arrive already knowing what they want: low-rise, set back in the trees, consistent surf, and a development pattern that has kept the tree line where it is. That restraint is the product. It is the reason people pay to be here instead of somewhere easier to reach.
The other side of it is that getting here is part of the deal. The roads are rough, the dry-season dust is real, and some of them get worse in the wet months before they get better. A buyer who understands that before they arrive is a buyer who does not turn around after the drive in.
Where we take listings: Playa Guiones, Playa Pelada, Nosara village, Esperanza, Santa Marta, Garza and Ostional.
What sells here: Jungle-view and ocean-view homes set back in the trees, villas with a rental history, building lots inside the Nosara development area, wellness and yoga businesses, and small lodges.
Buyers here are mostly North American and European, and a good share are families or remote workers rather than short-stay holidaymakers. Most have visited before, often several times, and they know the town better than the average beach buyer does.
Water comes up first, as it does everywhere on this coast: where it comes from, and whether the local ASADA will issue a letter for it. Then internet and power, because a lot of these purchases are paid for by work done from the house. Then access — which road, what condition, and whether it needs four-wheel drive in October.
They also ask about the rules. Nosara has kept its low-rise, set-back character deliberately, and buyers want to know what that means for what they can build or change. A seller with the documents to hand looks organised. One without them looks like a problem.
If your property is anywhere near Ostional, expect questions about the wildlife refuge and what it restricts. That is much better coming from you at the start than from a buyer’s lawyer three weeks in.
- 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.
