Some of the questions that we are asked most frequently are, “Who are buying all your lots?” “Do they live in large cities or are they from rural areas?” “Are they young people, middle aged, or retired?” “Are they very wealthy or are they middle income?” Interestingly, the answer to all these questions is YES!
Currently, we have buyers from Costa Rica, Canada, the United States, England, and France. Within the United States, buyers are from Oregon to Virginia and from Minnesota to Georgia and Florida. We have folks from large cities, such as London, England, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Los Angeles, California, and Paris, France. We also have buyers from the rural areas in Iowa, South Dakota, and Oregon. Buyers range in age from the mid-30’s to the late 60’s. They are farmers, teachers, CEO’s of companies, military people, people who work for $20,000,000,000 companies, and those who are self-employed. Some buyers are in the first quarter of their careers, while others are retired. Some have been to Costa Rica numerous times, while others never have. Some are planning to build a home on their property and live there all or part of the year, while others has bought lots solely as an investment.
Thus, the key characteristic of our buyers is not age, income level, current location, or a common reason for purchasing. Instead, we have found that the characteristic that the overwhelming percentage of our buyers have in common is the philosophy of life, or simply “attitude.”
Our buyers tend to have a very positive attitude. They see the glass as “half full,” not “half empty.” They also have an appreciation for beauty and adventure. Those who see life as a “cookie cutter” approach and want no new experiences are not our prospects or buyers. Our buyers are full of life, celebrate the unexpected, such as a monkey running across the highway or a toucan in a nearby tree, and enjoy learning new things, meeting new people, learning (or trying to learn!) a different language, and trying new foods. In other words, they are great people to be around.
If you have purchased one of our properties, we say, “Thank you and welcome aboard!” If you haven’t considered purchasing, the obvious question is, “Why not?” Come and join us in a truly great lifetime experience.
