We moved to Costa Rica over 18 years ago looking for a quiet life and good weather.
For this we traveled throughout the country for a month to discover the area that suited us the most. It was not easy because all of Costa Rica is very attractive and with very different scenarios and even climates, but finally we decided that by proximity to the Capital, airport and the beautiful beaches Jaco was the right place, and still is.
In these 15 years we have seen it grow and it is a place where one can enjoy many amenities and easily find related groups. Jaco began to develop only 45 years ago, that makes it very interesting and providing many interesting opportunities.
Originally I am from Chile and live in the Canary Islands (Spain) for 15 years in the 70/80. And the reason why we were looking for a place with a warm climate all year round after we finished raising our children,.
I love the lifestyle here where every day you can go to the beach to see the sunset and feel that you are in the perfect place … it’s like paradise.
Not to mention the exuberant vegetation and the diversity of fauna … every day you can see the scarlet macaws and many times of the year you can view from the beach, whales with their young enjoying these always warm beautiful waters.
Since moving here I have been a real estate agent and know the area perfectly! RE Max is a franchise that helps you become a processional agent in the broadest sense of the word. I love this profession because it spreads enthusiasm and happiness when I help my clients find what they are looking for and a new adventure in life begins, just as I have experienced several times before.
My wife Mary and I moved to Costa Rica permanently in July, 2018. After renting and exploring the country we decided to buy property in the Central Pacific Coast region of Costa Rica.
There were a few properties that interested us online and we contacted agent, Alexandra Kleinow of Remax. We are so happy we did. Alexandra drove us around the area and not only showed us homes, but gave us a tour. At that time, our Spanish was limited and Alexandra speaks perfect English and Spanish. Alexandra is extremely knowledgeable about the market, the region and knows everybody. She is well respected and trusted in the industry and enjoys a high profile.
Alexandra represented us in our first purchase and everything went smoothly. When we decided to move to another area close by and sell our first home, we contacted Alexandra. She attracted many qualified prospective buyers through her marketing strategy. She sold our home and took a lot of the stress out of the process. When you hire her you know things will be handled right. We cannot recommend Alexandra enough.

We’re an American/Polish couple who has lived, worked and traveled to numerous European, American, Middle East, Asian and South Asian countries. Now nearing retirement ages, we began to consider Costa Rica as a semi-retirement haven. We had honeymooned there years ago, and were enamored by its climate, diverse geography and Pacific beaches.
I began to research Realtors in coastal locations, and via “blind-luck” discovered Alexandra Kleinow in the central, Pacific coast town of Jaco (the “J” is pronounced as an “H”). Alexandra has lived in Jaco for decades, and speaks German, Spanish and English fluently.
We quickly discovered her friendliness, professionalism and knowledge of the Pacific coast area was genuine, and she courteously drove us to a number of properties to familiarize us with different areas, local restaurants, useful stores, business persons and even a lawyer to discuss the necessities of Americans to buy and occupy property in Costa Rica.
Alexandra was and continues to be an invaluable resource to fulfill our desire to own a second home in Costa Rica. She was always courteous and respectful of our cautious tendencies and never pushed us. While we were intending to make only an initial research holiday, we found a “new development” compound that suited our wishes quite well, and she has kept us updated by phone, photos and videos of our house construction that will be completed and closed before May 2022. We look forward to our becoming her Jaco neighbor, and her becoming our Jaco friend!
Sincerely, Ron & Aleksandra Johnson
