Trusted Costa Rica Real Estate Agent & Broker on Guanacaste’s Gold Coast

Gina Briguglio is an experienced Costa Rica real estate agent and founder of Costa Rica Real Estate CR. She is also a trusted real estate broker serving clients along Guanacaste’s Gold Coast and the Lake Arenal region. As a respected realtor, she specializes in luxury homes, investment properties, and lifestyle relocations within some of the country’s most desirable coastal communities.

With more than 30 years of real estate experience — including 18 years successfully running her real estate business in the United States before relocating to Costa Rica — Gina brings seasoned expertise and an international perspective to every transaction. As a dedicated buyer’s agent in Costa Rica, she provides strategic guidance and strong negotiation. Additionally, she offers personalized representation for buyers, sellers, investors, and those planning a move.

Her expertise spans luxury beachfront estates, ocean-view villas, gated communities, condominiums, boutique hospitality opportunities, and income-producing investment properties. At the same time, she understands the nuances of coastal regulations, fee-simple ownership, concession considerations, and long-term asset performance. Rather than focusing on one micro-market, she works across premier coastal and lake communities while aligning each property search with lifestyle goals and financial objectives.

Because she has personally navigated an international relocation, Gina offers practical guidance beyond the transaction itself. She helps clients evaluate community selection, lifestyle transitions, and long-term residency planning with clarity and confidence. Ultimately, her approach is strategic, transparent, and relationship-driven, ensuring every client makes informed decisions within Costa Rica’s evolving real estate landscape.

Experienced Costa Rica Real Estate Broker with Global Credentials

With more than three decades of industry experience, Gina brings depth and structure to today’s coastal and investment markets. As both a Costa Rica real estate agent and broker, she represents international clients with transparency, strategic negotiation, and disciplined transaction guidance.

Originally from Chicago, she spent 18 years running her U.S. real estate business before relocating permanently to Costa Rica. Because of that background, she understands the expectations of North American buyers navigating international property purchases.

She is a licensed real estate professional in Illinois and a Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS). In addition, she is a member of the Costa Rican Global Association of Realtors (CRGAR) and the National Association of Realtors (NAR). These affiliations reinforce her commitment to ethical standards and global real estate best practices.

Having personally completed the relocation process, she offers practical insight into lifestyle transition, community selection, and cross-border acquisition strategy. As a result, buyers move forward with clarity, confidence, and informed decision-making.
