There are aspects of real estate sales that seem pretty simple, as well as many elements of a smooth sales transaction.  However, these can also be very complicated and daunting in Costa Rica (different laws, different processes, Spanish language, banking considerations, etc.). 

Now that I have been successfully selling real estate in Guanacaste for over 15 years, I am happy to use my knowledge and expertise to ensure your investment is as solid and trouble-free as possible. I am a full-time legal resident of Costa Rica with permanent status. I am a licensed Realtor through the Costa Rica Global Association of Realtors and a past Board Member of same. In addition, I am also an international affiliate of NAR . 

I am also a member of the “International Consortium of Real Estate Associations”. In an effort to help more buyers from the United States achieve the dream of owning property in Costa Rica, I have completed the and hold the designation of  CLHMS (Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist) CIPS (Cerifired International Property Specialist) IRES (International Real Estate Specialist) SDIRA (Self Directed Individual Retirement Account) RSPS (Resort and Secondo Home Property Specialist) and ACP (Accredited Commercial Professional)

Hello there! I’m Julia Skibinska, I was born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago. In 2005, my life took an exciting turn when I first set foot in Costa Rica. Its lush rainforests, stunning beaches, and vibrant culture instantly captured my heart. From that moment on, I found myself returning to this enchanting country every summer.

The more time I spent in Costa Rica, the more I realized that I wanted to make this tropical paradise my permanent home. In 2018, I decided to take a bold step towards realizing my dream. I bid farewell to my job as a librarian and embarked on a new adventure.

With a desire to help others discover the magic of Costa Rica and to follow my newfound passion for real estate, I obtained my Illinois Real Estate License in 2018. The world of real estate felt like the perfect platform to introduce people to the breathtaking beauty and opportunities this country has to offer.

I’m here to tell you that age and experience are no barriers when it comes to pursuing your dreams and finding happiness. So, whether you’re seeking your dream home, an investment opportunity, or simply a slice of Costa Rican paradise, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Let’s make your dreams of living in Costa Rica a reality!
