Hear what some of our recent clients had to say
Very impressed listed with them 2 weeks ago my property has been marketed on over 100 high-ranking property platforms worldwide and translated into 79 languages. Proof of all marketing sent when requested and I have a viewing booked in next month already.

Esales very recently assisted in the marketing and sale of my overseas property. I can wholeheartedly recommend their professional marketing services as from day one they have been thorough. I must extend an extra arm of gratitude to my agent who went over and above to get things done outside working hours. Without his expert knowledge and guidance to set the right price for the market the process would have been harder. I was very pleased at the speed and efficiency of correspondence or calls at the weekend to tell me I had an offer. There was a few hurdles to get things done often but this was no issue for the reputable notary office they put me in touch with. I felt everything was under control at all times. If you are looking for an efficient and professional service to market to global investors look no further. Everything was extremely transparent.
Muhamed Ashid
I highly rate how professionally this company handled the marketing and exposure of my property, also the fact they are contactable by phone or email at any time for updates and help. They are so much more cost-effective than local agents who can easily fob you off and charge extortionate fees. Esales has more coverage in all markets around the world and after many years of trying with local agents, we decided this was the best route to go with. Delighted to have sold inside 8 weeks of listing and we will be listing 4 other overseas properties we own. Very thorough and transparent from start to finish and we sold over asking price for any cynics out there !

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five-Star Review
I have had an excellent experience advertising my properties with eSales and can confidently say they are true professionals in international real estate marketing.
Through eSales, I successfully promote a diverse portfolio of premium properties located directly in front of Ponta Preta Beach, Maio, Cabo Verde, including:
Beachfront and beach-view residential development lots
A model beachfront home
My beachfront restaurant, Martin’s,
A private beachfront mansion, and
My penthouse villa, Villa Martin
The eSales team is highly dedicated, responsive, and genuinely committed to serving their clients. They provide outstanding exposure, consistently generate high-quality, serious leads, and understand how to position unique international properties to the right audience.
What truly sets eSales apart is their professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to connect sellers with motivated buyers and investors from around the world. Their platform has been an invaluable tool in expanding interest and visibility for my Cabo Verde properties.
I highly recommend eSales to any property owner or developer looking for reliable service, strong international reach, and real results. — Martin D. Harris Maio Properties | Cabo Verde

My property is advertised with Esales, not sold yet but it is early days. I live in Spain and deal with Gerard who always responds to any questions I have within minutes or at most, a few hours. My property is advertised all over the world so I am confident it will sell eventually, The fundamentals here are what impressed me. Gerard does what he says he will do and very quickly. For an online service that is very important and gives me confidence. Also, if Gerard needs information, he will call me. Speaking to a human being these days is rare but still essential. Thoroughly recommended.

I must say that my first exposure to this company was via an online search on google which happened to be an 'accident'. I normally engage directly with estate agents selling property face to face but after reading all about the company I decided to contact the company within minutes. Initially I was reluctant to respond but I am so glad I did!
Immediately after sending a request to contact me a polite and professional member of staff named Gerard phoned me and explained extensively how his company could meet my needs and requirements for selling my Bulgarian mountain house. I decided to go ahead and pay the one off marketing fee as I knew instantly that this would save me thousands of pounds in estate agent commission in Bulgaria.
Furthermore, Gerard went out of his way to compile and assist me with my marketing profile page and within just 48 hours, as promised, my property was live on 76 portals online, representing 42 countries with a spectrum of potential buyers of 249.1 million. Gerard has been transparent throughout and has advised me regularly regarding the progress of potential buyers. I am so impressed and Gerard advised me this is just part of the service offered by the company. I am very happy with the services offered and would not hesitate to recommend this company.

Complete Guide to Selling Real Estate in Costa Rica
Selling property in Costa Rica is a structured process that relies on the national notary system. Because Costa Rica offers equal property rights to foreigners and locals, the process is transparent but requires meticulous attention to legal documentation and tax compliance.
The Legal Framework: Conveyancing and Registration
In Costa Rica, property transactions are formal legal acts that must be executed by a Notary Public and registered with the National Registry (Registro Nacional).
Appointing a Professional: It is strongly recommended that you engage both a reputable real estate agent and a qualified attorney. An attorney is essential for conducting due diligence, preparing the transfer deed, and ensuring the transaction complies with Costa Rican law.
The Notary Public: In Costa Rica, a notary must be an attorney. They are the only professionals authorized to draft the public deed of transfer (escritura pública) and record the transaction in the National Registry.
Due Diligence: The buyer’s attorney will conduct a title search to verify the property’s legal status, including checking for liens, encumbrances, or boundary disputes.
Documentation: Ensure you have your clear title (Folio Real), up-to-date municipal tax receipts, and a registered survey map (plano catastrado). If the property is held by a corporation, you must provide current corporate documents (personería jurídica) and board meeting minutes authorizing the sale.
Taxation and Financial Obligations
Understanding your tax liabilities is critical to a smooth closing.
Capital Gains Tax: Generally, profits from the sale of real estate are subject to a capital gains tax. However, individuals may be exempt from this tax if the property is their primary residence (lived in for a minimum period per year). Under certain conditions, owners who acquired property before a specific cutoff date may opt for a reduced tax rate of a small percentage of the purchase price.
Withholding Tax: If the seller is a non-domiciled entity or person, the buyer may be required to withhold a portion of the sales price as an estimated payment toward potential tax liability.
Agent Commission: While negotiable, agent commissions in Costa Rica typically range from a set percentage of the sales price. It is standard for the seller to pay this, but it should be clearly defined in your sales contract.
Closing Costs: Closing costs (including transfer taxes, notary fees, and registration fees) often total a percentage of the purchase price. While these are often split or paid by the buyer, you should clarify who is responsible for each fee during negotiations.
Strategy: Maximizing Market Exposure
To achieve a successful sale in Costa Rica’s unique market, focus on preparation and professional reach.
Valuation: Work with a local agent to determine an accurate market price based on recent sales of comparable properties. Pricing competitively is the most effective way to attract serious international and local buyers.
Property Preparation: First impressions are vital. Declutter, deep clean, and complete minor repairs. High-quality photography and virtual tours are essential for showcasing your home to international buyers who may be viewing it from abroad.
Digital Presence: Since there is no centralized MLS in Costa Rica, ensure your property is listed on multiple popular real estate platforms and social media channels to maximize visibility.
Pro-Tip for Sellers: If you are selling from abroad, you can grant a Power of Attorney to a trusted representative in Costa Rica. This must be executed in person before a Costa Rican Notary Public or via a specific consular process to be legally valid.
Selling property effectively in Costa Rica requires balancing local legal expertise with global visibility. eSales International specializes in connecting property owners with a worldwide network of investors.
Global Reach: We market your property across international platforms, ensuring your listing reaches high-value buyers beyond the local market.
Streamlined Coordination: We provide a dedicated point of contact to guide you through the marketing process, from initial listing to managing inquiries, while you work alongside your chosen local legal counsel.
Efficiency: By leveraging our database of international investors, we help you find the right buyer faster, ensuring a transparent and professional selling experience while you maintain full control of your asset.
