Purchase Process
To bring money to Costa Rica, buyer must use a third party Escrow, who will verify that your money is clean (request for legal document inheritence, sold property, income, etc). Escrow holds the money until purchase document is signed and releases funds to seller, agent, lawyer.
Seller pays real estate agents usually as most of them will pay a 5-8% referral commission; this commission is shared among agents. Buyer is not responsible for this fee.
Closing fees (lawyer fees, government taxes & stamps, escrows) are usually 4% of the property price; the buyer is responsible for paying this.
