The Pacific Coast of Costa Rica has become an important destination for international property buyers seeking distinctive residences, second homes, and investment opportunities. Operating at the intersection of local expertise and international real estate, Blue Zone Realty International has developed a business centered on informed representation, personalized service, and global market access. Its position is further reinforced by recognition among the Luxury Lifestyle Awards TOP 100 in the category of Top 100 Real Estate Agencies of the World.

Local Knowledge with International Reach

Founded in Costa Rica in 2012 by real estate professional Tim Fenton, Blue Zone Realty International has developed from a boutique brokerage into an established luxury real estate company. Today, the agency operates three offices with more than 20 real estate professionals, serving buyers, sellers, and investors across Costa Rica’s Pacific Coast.

Its portfolio encompasses luxury residential properties, oceanfront and ocean-view estates, resort residences, second homes, boutique hospitality assets, development opportunities, and land.

The company’s international client base reflects the cross-border nature of Costa Rica’s property market. Approximately 70% of its buyers originate from the United States, 20% from Canada, and the remainder primarily from Europe and other international markets. Understanding the expectations of these clients has become central to its approach.

For international buyers, purchasing property abroad involves more than identifying a suitable residence. Market familiarity, transaction procedures, negotiation, and local regulatory considerations all influence the experience. Blue Zone Realty International addresses these requirements through professional guidance tailored to individual purchasing objectives.

A Transaction Experience Built on Expertise

Blue Zone Realty International operates as a full-service, concierge-style real estate agency, providing representation throughout the property transaction.

For buyers, this includes initial market education, property selection, negotiation, due diligence, closing, and the transition into ownership. Its regional specialization allows the team to provide context on property opportunities and the practical considerations of acquiring real estate in Costa Rica.

For sellers, the agency combines professional property marketing with international distribution channels, digital platforms, referral relationships, and direct communication with prospective buyers.

This approach reflects the importance of continuity in luxury real estate representation. From initial consultation through closing, the agency emphasizes informed decision-making, clear communication, and professional accountability.

International Relationships and Market Access

A defining element of Blue Zone Realty International’s business model is its ability to connect Costa Rican real estate with international audiences.

Membership in Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® supports relationships and referral opportunities with independent real estate companies globally. The agency also maintains an exclusive relationship with Haute Residence in Costa Rica, extending the visibility of its luxury property portfolio.

These relationships are supported by a proprietary database of more than 100,000 contacts, providing an additional channel for introducing properties to prospective international buyers and investors.

Together, these resources allow the company to combine regional market intelligence with international marketing capabilities while maintaining its specialized focus on Costa Rica.

Measurable Performance and Established Recognition

Blue Zone Realty International’s market activity provides further context for its international positioning.

During the first six months of 2026, the agency completed 157 transaction sides, compared with 126 during the equivalent period in 2025. This represents approximately 24.6% year-over-year growth. Transaction volume exceeded US$75 million during the same six-month period.

The company’s professional record also includes recognition across several international industry programs. In 2026, it received its fourth consecutive Luxury Lifestyle Awards distinction as Best Luxury Real Estate Agency in Costa Rica.

Additional recognition includes seven consecutive years as Best Real Estate Agency, Costa Rica, from the International Property Awards, alongside distinctions for real estate marketing and website excellence. The Latin American Quality Institute has also recognized the company, including Company of the Year distinctions in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025.

Its TOP 100 recognition adds an international dimension to this established record, placing the agency within a broader conversation about professional standards and performance in luxury real estate.
