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.
