Welcome
Welcome to the Century 21 Gold Coast Realty central web site.
We are committed to serving you in answering all your questions
in the pursuit of finding that perfect property to fulfill your
dreams.
Nicaragua is an exceptional place to fulfill your dreams. It is
the 2nd safest country in the western hemisphere behind Canada
and is one of the safest places to drive with excellent highways
around most of the country that are constantly improving. Nicaragua
is also the 2nd poorest country in the hemisphere making it very
inexpensive to live. With poverty and struggle comes an appreciation
to escape to the arts and Nicaragua has some of the best poets,
potters, sculptures and painters in the world….it is full of culture.
There are also many charitable organizations to get involved with
to make this country a better place for all of us and help fight
poverty.
Often called the land of lakes and volcanoes there are unlimited
places to explore including the 2nd oldest colonial city, beautiful
Granada, in the Americas founded in 1524. The tandem Volcanoes
forming Ometepe Island within the 7th largest fresh water lake
in the world, Lake Cocibolca, are magnificent. Some of the most
amazing beaches include Punta Sur, Guacalito, Playa Blanca and
Punta Aposentillo.
The waves…
..enough said.
My 6 years
As the owner of three Century 21 Gold Coast Realty offices along
the pacific coast of Nicaragua I am certain my team is the best
prepared to help you find the property you desire. I have been
in Nicaragua since 2001. I spent my first 3 years living in Granada
and surfing the pacific coast. During this time I was in the export
business shipping artisan products to Costa Rica and the US. As
a non-realtor at the time I was able to look at Real Estate with
an unbiased eye and get a great feel for what other Real Estate
offices were doing right and wrong. I spent over 50 days as a
guest in Rancho Santana as well as other developments and was
able to get a grasp on what is required to create an admirable
development. I was also able to experience the boom in Costa Rica.
I never wanted to be in Real Estate as I always wanted to keep
the surf crowds down. In 2003 I had several friends from Costa
Rica spending time with all of the realtors in Nicaragua. They
would always follow up with questions for me and were very impressed
with my accurate answers. Finally they asked me to represent them.
They convinced me that I could get into Real Estate and do it
better than anyone else. After a few transactions I discovered
they were right and that the money was much better than the export
business. I was also sure that I could help my client's develop
in an environmentally friendly manner that would also help keep
the crowds down in the surf line up.
In 2004 I became the General Manager of the fist Century 21 office
in Nicaragua located in the sleepy port town of San Juan del Sur.
It was just me, the guard Jose and receptionist Nelgin……I was
in the right place at the right time……and just over two years
later I became the owner of all three of the Century 21 offices
along the pacific coast with over 50 employees.
The team and territories
I have formed a team of highly professional individuals. All of
our agents have attended University in the US and worked in the
corporate world for companies such as Deloitte & Touche, SAP Software,
Seibel Systems, McDonalds, Emory University and Sotheby's.
Our San Juan del Sur office covers the area from the Costa Rica
border up to Brito. Land prices here are the most expensive on
the coast as this is the where it all started and San Juan del
Sur is the only city on the whole coast of Nicaragua with more
than one fine hotel and more than one fine restaurant. The town
now has over 20 hotels and more than 40 restaurants. Though it
is more expensive it also boasts a quicker market and more options
for night life.
The Popoyo office extends from Brito to Gran Pacifica. It is often
referred to as the Pacific Riveira due to its gorgeous beaches
and high end gated communities such as Rancho Santana, Hacienda
Iguana and Guacalito. This is also surfers paradise with breaks
such as Popoyo, Colorado's and Manzanillo. Prices here are lower
than in the San Juan del Sur area and the community is growing
with new restaurants and hotels starting up each year.
The Marina office is located near the Marina Puesta del Sol and
covers the territory from Gran Pacifica to Honduras. If its restaurants
and nightlife you want then this is the wrong place. In the Marina
area there are only two places to stay and eat, the Marina and
Hotel Chancletas, that's it. Land prices get less expensive the
further North you go and someday soon there will be more civilization.
We can put you in contact with a team member in each area so that
all of your questions are answered accurately by someone that
knows that area extremely well.
The market
The market has taken off as we all know. Though beachfront prices
have gone up they are still lower than most parts of the world.
This is a very affordable place to buy and build your dream house
and there is still a lot of room for developers to make a profit.
Just click on the link for each office to get a better idea of
each area. We will be happy to answer any property or travel questions
you may have. We hope to see you down here soon. |
