The Story Behind Tropical Investments

Tropical Investments was born out of a passion for helping people enhance their quality of life by achieving their real estate dreams in Costa Rica. We are a professional real estate brokerage serving buyers and sellers in the southern Pacific of Costa Rica. It’s important to know there is no mandatory license for real estate agents in Costa Rica. That means it’s crucial to only work with a qualified, honest broker with a proven track record of success. Our founder, Karol Barboza, is a licensed real estate broker and local, bilingual Costa Rican. Our unparalleled industry expertise and on-the-ground background knowledge ensure we provide objective advice to each and every client.
