List your Playas del Coco 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.
Playas del Coco is the most established beach town in Guanacaste and the closest one to Liberia airport. It has the supermarkets, the clinics, the dive shops, the marina traffic and a settled foreign community that has been here long enough to stop thinking of itself as temporary.
That maturity cuts both ways for a seller. There are more buyers looking in Coco than in most beach towns, and there is also more inventory sitting next to yours, particularly in condominiums.
Where we take listings: Playas del Coco, Playa Ocotal, Playa Hermosa, Playa Panamá, Sardinal, Las Palmas and Matapalo.
What sells here: Condominiums at every level, homes in gated communities, ocean-view houses above Ocotal, lots in the hills behind town, and small businesses serving the resident community.
Practical, value-focused North Americans, a lot of them retired or close to it, and many already renting here while they look. They are less romantic than beach buyers elsewhere and far more interested in whether the place works day to day.
Water is the first question and in this area it is a real one. Supply around Coco and Sardinal has been tight at times, and buyers want to know what the property is connected to and whether a letter can be issued for it. Answer that up front and you have cleared the biggest obstacle in town.
Then the condominium fees and what they cover, the state of the building, rental demand outside high season, whether you can walk to anything, and who looks after the place when the owner is away for six months.
Because so many Coco buyers are already in the country, showings happen fast and often at short notice. A property that can genuinely be shown this week has a real advantage over one that needs a tenant given notice first.
- 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.
