Serving: Tamarindo/Brasilito/Flamingo Costa Rica
Allen moved from Chicago to Costa Rica's newest resort coast, the northern Pacific, for a change of life. He was looking for one after having been mostly self-employed as an architect, general contractor, interior designer, and facility manager for his entire career in Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago. Mixing drinks at the beach sounded good after years of stress in America's 3 largest cities. After 2 vacations in Costa Rica, he and his partner, David, sold everything in the USA, packed up the cat (Henry) and dog (Rudy), and settled near Costa Rica's most beautiful beaches and the glorious Pacific sunsets. This coast, of Guanacaste Province, was largely unknown to the world when the new international airport in Liberia (LIR) opened in 2002. Now, you can be on a Pacific beach one hour after arriving from Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Miami, Newark, Minneapolis, Charlotte, Chicago, Los Angeles, Calgary, Toronto, London, and New York (JFK)".
Guanacaste is still largely unknown to gay travelers and investors, but Allen can see the Flamingo, Potrero, and Surfside area emerging as a "Next Big Gay Thing" over the coming few years, much like South Beach emerged in the 1990's. Costa Rica is being built/rebuilt from the ground up and opportunities abound for investment, retirement, tourism-related business, or change of life scenarios like his own. It is a country that, needs almost everything, has perfect weather (think Hawaii), comes with high-speed internet, and the roads are finally being repaved!
Allen's "change of life" didn't quite go as expected. He is working at the beach, or at least across the street from it, but he now uses every element of his experience and training to help clients understand their place in Costa Rica and the real estate investment that suits them best.
He is also the owner of an integrated network of companies, the Summerland Group, offering vacation rental, property management, interior design, insurance, and wireless network services.
Allen is anxious to share the good karma of Costa Rica, since it welcomed his family with open arms. There are generous referral fees for agents, regardless of your network affiliation, and free advice by email.
