Shirley and I purchased a condo in Jaco, Costa Rica only a few months into our retirement. Owning international real estate was always a dream of ours and Ken and Jon of Oceanside Realty made it possible by providing valuable and timely assistance at every step of the purchasing process. Their personal commitment to providing us with good information allowed us to make an informed decision. Oceanside Realty made our condo purchase something special. We are in constant contact with both Ken and Jon and we look forward to working with them again.

Oceanside Realty has been the reason we decided to purchase a condo in Jaco, Costa Rica. We can't say enough about the customer service we experienced then, and still do today. Ken Schaafsma put forth the time and energy it took to show us everything available and to make us feel confident and comfortable in making our international investment a reality!

I just wanted to put on record the excellent service my wife and I received from Ken and his team at Oceanside Realty. We went to Jaco not knowing exactly what we were looking for or where we wished to be located. Ken and Jonathan drove us around the whole area for two full days and showed us lots of different properties, patiently explaining the pros and cons of each one. However they never tried to influence us to one particular property, but tried very hard to find homes that matched our criteria. They allowed us to take as much time as we needed to look at each property and the surrounding area and took us back two and three times to ones we were interested in.
The excellent service continued after we had made our choice, as they continued to supply us with all the information we needed and answer all our questions. They even looked after us on subsequent visits throughout the purchasing process.
It was a real pleasure to work with a team that were there just to help us find what we were looking for, rather than trying to push us into buying what they had for sale. As a result of the care and great service we received from Oceanside Realty we have a home that we are very happy with and look forward to visiting on many vacations before eventually retiring there. I wholeheartedly recommend Oceanside Realty to any potential property buyer in Costa Rica.
-Yours truly, Stephen Harrison, Bermuda
Ken, you have been a tremendous help and encouragement to us. To have someone like you on our side makes things much simpler. Thank you. – You get the first Pina Coloda in the new condo!

"We've spent three months enjoying our condo and have since learned the service Ken's office (Oceanside Realty) provides is well known in Jaco and is the standard others try to meet."

Ken, Am I missing something here or is this a pretty shweet deal??? Can't thank you enough.
-Jehanne from Maryland
Hey Ken, I really appreciate the low key, upfront and honest manner in which you let me explore the properties we looked at (and which we ended up buying). I am very happy with my properties and would be more than happy to provide a testimonial for your website. I just don't know if I can express my gratitude in less than a page! ((thank you Leonard -- you just did!))

It's not easy visiting a new country by E-mail and the Internet. Especially when you are considering a Real Estate investment. No pun intended, but it's all very "foreign" if your not a familiar with the 'lay of the land'' Unfamiliar government,new rules, questions, questions, questions....That's where Ken comes in! Once I had spoken to him, asked for his help in some research in the Jaco Costa Rica area, was confident in his abilities and knowledge, I knew I could ask my husband to fly there, and that Ken would assist him in making a sound, potentially profitable purchase. We purchased a great condo! My husband and I highly recommend Ken for his honesty, his integrity, AND his professionalism.We also feel we can call him a friend....Thanks Ken!

Ken, Can't thank you enough for your insight and guidance. You assisted my wife and I in purchasing a condo for investment purposes through our IRA and helped to make the process very easy. We are pleased with our purchase and look forward to doing more business with you in the future...Pura Vida.
