About

Greetings to all, I am Suyen Arvizú I. and I am one of the two original Founders of the Costa Rica Real Estate Magazine, the magazine was founded toward the end of 1997, and at that time there was no other printed Real Estate magazine in the country.  A few years later other competitive magazines were founded in Costa Rica but they have all come and gone in these past years but our magazine is still here and growing.

When the magazine started , the cost to print in full color was extremely high so we offered ads in black & white with the option for the larger advertisers to place full color ads at a higher ad cost.  Therefore, advertisers like Century 21 Marina Trading Post, CARICO Real Estate, Isthmus Real Estate, Century 21 TK, Pitts Aviation, Tortuga Villas, Hotel Villas Playa Samara, Vista del Tropico,  Los Delfines and Costa Rica Highlights Tours were some of the long established companies that were willing to pay a premium price to have their ads appear in the magazine in full color.

We were able to see the beginning and be a part of promoting many new developments including being present for the placing of the first stone with the presence of the President of Costa Rica at that time, Mr. Miguel Angel Rodriguez at the Los Sueños Marina, Golf Course and Resort Development in Playa Herradura in the Central Pacific Coast.

The magazine has always had distribution of the printed issues throughout Costa Rica including the South, Central and North Pacific coasts as well as the Greater Metropolitan areas of San Jose, Heredia, and Alajuela.  In the last 5 years we have added distribution at major Expos and Shows in North America including the largest Yacht Shows in the World at Miami and Ft. Lauderdale and the major Travel Shows like the New York and the Los Angeles Travel & Adventure Shows.  Plus we have the digital version of the magazine online with the best application available for digital publications.  As Costa Rica regains its tourism normality and as the interest in not only visiting but also relocating, retiring and investing in Costa Rica grows tremendously, we are making sure the magazine reaches more and more people and helps our advertisers to reach their sales goals as we have done for the last 25 years!
