Costa Rica Elected Rodrigo Chaves Robles as our new president on April 3, 2022 on a second round of voting after not having a majority winner in the first election round. President Elect Chaves ran on a campaign platform that promised to reduce government spending, increasing tax revenue by reducing tax evasion and attacking corruption. He is a political conservative and has focused on reducing unemployment and eliminating bureaucracy. Chavez is a 30-year veteran of the World Bank and a holds a Ph.D. in Economics from Ohio State University.

We think this is great news for our little corner of the world and we are 100% behind this new president. If he is able to make it easy for businesses to get permits and cut through red tape and succeeds at reducing some of the government bloat then it will be a success. We are looking forward to having a president that thinks about the fiscal health of the country first and not just tax and spend.

Rodrigo Alberto de Jesús Chaves Robles (born 10 June 1961) Chaves was previously Minister of Finance during the presidency of Carlos Alvarado Quesada.

It’s a New Year 2022

At the beginning of 2021, there was a lot of unknowns in our market. The borders had just opened, COVID was still on everyone’s mind, there was a lot of concern about travel and restrictions and Tres Amigos Realty Group (TARG) was starting a new calendar year, without the franchise brand we had been associated with for so long. How would everyone respond? I must tell you; it was overwhelming!  I could never have imagined the phone calls, emails, and texts that we received from thousands of buyers, sellers, developers, builders, attorneys, competitors, friends, neighbors, and agents around the world. THANK YOU.

As it turned out, this past year was one of the best years we have ever had, and ALL my agents had their most productive 12 months in their individual careers.

WOW! Not too shabby.
