I recently sold a property in Ojochal, Costa Rica. James Drews, of your office, was the realtor involved. I have been buying and selling real estate for my entire adult life. We all know that real estate can be a challenging game to be in, especially for the client. The nature of the business allows many scenarios, both business and personal. It can be difficult to find a safe port in the sometimes-turbulent waters of real estate transactions. Much is often on the line for both clients and realtors, which can result in a wide spectrum of human emotion and reaction.
From the minute I met Jimmie, he stood out in the crowd of area realtors. He was professional in manner, precise and knowledgeable. He understood my property and my goals, and quickly translated them into a real estate deal. Above the other professions involved in the transaction, Jimmie kept the process on an even keel and helped push through time and circumstance barriers that arose. That translated to a closed deal, on time and money in my coffers.
Whenever I am doing business, I try to assemble the best team available. It greases the runway to success. When it comes to picking a real estate team on the South Pacific coast of Costa Rica, James Drews is my first pick. From my experience, James Drews is the Ninja realtor on the south coast, and you will want him on your team. Thanks again, Jimmie.
