Costa Rica Real Estate Service

What Costa Rica Real Estate Service does

Costa Rica Real Estate Service (CRRES, legal entity Costa Rica Real Estate MLS, LLC) is a private real estate brokerage founded in 2001 in Dominical, Costa Rica by Casey Stamps and Paul Dorr. The firm provides full-service brokerage, buyer representation, due diligence, title research, residency advisory, and rental management for international property buyers from the USA, Canada, Europe, and other regions seeking to purchase or invest in Costa Rican real estate. Its team of seven to eight senior investment advisors serves clients across four Costa Rican zones (South Pacific, Central Pacific, Central Valley, and North Pacific), operating from a Dominical headquarters in Plaza Pacifica and a satellite office in downtown Uvita.

The firm's core product is its PropertyBase CRM-powered listing and search platform with MLS integration, offering property categories including single-family homes, luxury estates, building lots, farms and acreage, commercial real estate, condos and townhomes, hotels and resorts, plus discounted 'Fire Sale' home and land categories. Listings range from sub-$500K residential parcels to a $29.95M 4,850-acre beachfront ranch, with multiple luxury ocean-view estates in the $1M-$2M band. Distribution is via direct field sales by senior advisors, the company's own self-serve website, and social channels (YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X) targeting top-of-funnel international interest.

CRRES earns revenue through traditional transaction commissions on property sales and buyer representation fees, with pricing negotiated individually rather than publicly disclosed. The firm is founder-owned and operated with no external funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no acquisitions or divestitures on record. Ownership and management rest with the two founding partners, supported by a stable senior advisory bench that has grown organically since 2001.
