Costa Rica real estate

I was born in Holland and came to Costa Rica in 1980 looking for new horizons. In 1997, I started working full time in real estate and founded GoDutch Realty in the same year. With 6 offices nationwide, we are one of the largest real estate companies in Costa Rica. In 1999, since we had no MLS here, there was a need for real estate agents work together, so we founded the American European Real estate Group (AE Costa Rica), MLS in Costa Rica where you can find over 1,500 properties.

Are gay people also moving to Costa Rica

by Ivo Henfling

Gay marriage is not accepted yet in Costa Rica

Because I grew up in Holland it comes easy to talk about the topic and quite a few gay people email me asking that question: “are gay people moving to Costa Rica”. The answer is yes.

When I was a kid, there was a gay kid on my block and at the time nobody would talk about it. He was the first person on national TV with his partner, talking about his experiences of coming out of the closet.

Jeez, I knew when I was 12 years old that he was gay. His mom and dad were very religious, poor guy, he suffered a lot and his mom and dad probably too. That was like in 1972.
