Dear Robert and Karla: Thus, I would like to keep in contact you both, if you do not mind. |
Michael Perez, Ph.D. My wife, Pat, and I first visited Los Jardines in January of 2007 as part of a real-estate tour organized jointly by Christopher Howard and the Association of Residents of Costa Rica. That was the first time we met Brian Timmons and Rudy Matthews. Of all the beautiful homes and condos we saw over that two-day period, we were most impressed with Los Jardines. It was our good luck to be able to return to Costa Rica for two weeks in July of that same year and to be able to rent a unit in Los Jardines. Our stay there was simply wonderful. The unit itself was roomy, well-designed, at the high end of North American standards, nicely furnished and with beautiful, solid built-in cabinets in the living room, kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. The grounds of the development are resort-like; very well maintained and simply lush with trees, plants and flowers. Pat and I swam in both of the pristine swimming pools and grilled on the built-in BBQ in one of the ranchos on the property. The on-site management and maintenance provided by Brian and his partner, Paul LeDuc, make a huge, positive difference. Everything works very smoothly. Meeting and spending time with the other residents of Los Jardines was also one of the huge plus points. We very much enjoyed our leisurely times on our terrace, sharing a coffee, a drink or a cigar with a passing resident. Wednesday evenings were reserved for playing Texas Hold’em in the large rancho. 6-10 residents gather each Wednesday evening for a few hours of socializing and card-playing. It’s only $20 per player so nobody gets hurt and even the “big winner” does not walk home rich; happy maybe, but not rich!! Most importantly, I heard not one complaint from any resident. Each resident expressed the conviction that buying at Los Jardines was a great decision and that the lifestyle they enjoyed was all they had hoped for and more. The support provided by Brian, Paul and Rudy is simply first class; you can’t over estimate the value of trust when you are choosing a place to live. Pat and I simply fell in love with Los Jardines. We wanted very much to buy a unit there but we need three-bedrooms. When we received the open letter to prospective buyers in October, we were thrilled and seized the opportunity to become one of the very first to put in a reservation and wire our earnest money. We hope you will come visit us in building 11A, ground (middle) level, left side in April 2010, when we move in! In the meantime, feel free to email me at perezm@cod.edu or call me at 630-942-2316 between 7:00am and 3:30pm M-F, Central Time if you want to hear more about Los Jardines and buying at El Dorado. Note: I am not a paid consultant or employee of El Dorado, just an excited buyer glad to share the good news. |

Good Day Mr. Shannon My name is Desiree Smith, my husband currently live in Bermuda and we are thinking of moving to Costa Rica. We saw your web site and became interested in some of the properties on it. Carla contacted us immediately and since then has taken good care of us. We felt safe with her, what wonderful services you have. She really took a personal interest in our needs and took care on them 100%. We never felt pressured or obligated to buy and are still now following up on some of our interest. We will highly recommend our friends to Carla at Costa Rica retirement. We have 12 year girl and needed to see the different schools available and Carla again took care of that. We are thankful to have meet Carla and are very grateful for her care and interest us and our brief visit to Costa Rica. It is our hope real soon to finalize a purchase through Carla. Many thanks again for having such caring staff. |

George Worley Hola! Your professionalism was great. You
really do know Costa Rica & the areas that I was
interested in very well & cut my search to where and
what i wanted to the best degree that anyone could have
possibly done. I gave you my criteria for location and &
price range and you knew exactly where and what to show
me. You made our time very productive & I appreciate
that so much, You are really a great person. |

Karen and Rob Abcug Robert and Carla, Thank you so much for arranging such a wonderful tour for us. We were able to see many properties and the different areas along the central to southern coast. Everybody that you put us in touch with were excellent, very informative and friendly. We loved the country and the people. It was beautiful. We ended up signing contracts on two properties. Thank you again for your help. We can't wait to go back.
Your friends, |

Alanas... Hi Robert, I am back in Canada and full of good impressions about the opportunities in CR. I must thank you for all the good things and ideas that you provided to me. Also the most sincere regards to Carla who is now the "etalon Costa Rica lady" for me. On a business side, I was really thrilled by a 25 ha property option (225,000 + 8% + 80,000 for the road less the share of other owners whom we did not consider + electricity). Of course, the situation seems to be more complex than that, and I believe that you will make the most rational decision. In any case, I remain interested in similar options, and I would like to maintain our good relationship. After all, it is having friends like you that makes a new country "livable". I hope to be back from my Lithuania/Russia/Europe trip in September or October, and then I could visit CR again. Although my family will probably remain in Canada or Lithuania for awhile, I still think that CR is worth of investment and effort for the future. Alanas September 7, 2004 Bill & Margeret Schiller... Thank you so much for the wonderful and informative tour. Your participation and attention to detail made the trip a great experience. We especially want to thank you for altering your schedule and taking us back to the Riverside Condo Project. After a full day of looking at other properties and dithering into the evening, we decided to contact Riverside Condo and Josh ten Brink came to the hotel after business hours and explained the project to us. We were so impressed by him and his project that we gave him a deposit! Per your suggestion, we contacted Robert Shannon and he has agreed to help us with purchasing the condo. He is a very warm, caring and wonderful person who has given freely of himself in calming our fears. My one regret is that we were overtaken by time and Robert was not the one to introduce us to Josh and facilitate the meeting. That being said, with new friends like you and Robert, we feel we have placed ourselves in good hands. We look forward to becoming Costa Rica residents and good friends. Warmest Regards,
Bill & Margeret Schiller Frank Yates.... August 10, 2004
Dear Robert,
Your effort, service and excellent follow through has
been fantastic. The week that you and your compares
(Gustavo and Annie) spent with me to introduce me to the
various properties that were available in the area
around Uvita was just what I and my wife needed in order
to make us feel comfortable with the concept of moving
to Costa Rica. The fact that you were able to answer my
questions about the intricacies and problems of moving
from one country to another was a very key factor in my
choosing to purchase the property I chose, from you and
Gustavo.
Sincerely;
Dr Robert Sulkin.... Joseph Hamel March 14, 2005

I have recently bought a villa in Costa Rica based on
the assistance from Costa Rica Retirement - Vacation

purchased the villa without the assistance from CRRVP.
Your organization assisted me with the following:
Understanding how to move and retire in Costa Rica. I am delighted with my villa and the assistance CRRVP provided me. I would be more than happy to be a reference for your services. My dream would never have come true if it wasn't for you. Thank you! Regards,
