She is a Gem We’ve had the pleasure of working with Brooke, and wanted to let you know what a gem she is! She is knowledgeable, responsive, and warm, yet professional. We are very impressed by her work ethic of going above and beyond. For example, when concerns about bringing our senior dogs to Costa Rica came up, she connected us with a client who shared the benefit of his experience with us. Eventually, we decided to wait on the move due to COVID-related travel restrictions and concerns about the stress of a move on our elderly dogs. Brooke was very understanding and encouraged us to stay in touch…If and when we are able to relocate to Costa Rica, we look forward to working with Brooke to find the right house. You are very lucky to have her on your team!

Brooke takes care of every person she meets as a ” friend” I first contacted Brooke online, when my husband and I were looking to make a move from Mexico to Costa Rica. At that time (Nov 18) she was polite and responded quickly. She sent a few choices that day, which didn’t look like what we wanted, so we chose to search for our rental home by ourselves, (not one of my brighter moves in life). After renting in Barva for a couple of months, I contacted Brooke again and told her how miserable we were and would really appreciate her insight and help in looking for a better-suited rental for us. She responded quickly and got us all set up. Brooke then began the search of finding us not one, but also a second house for my brother and his family. There was a point that a realization happened that we didn’t think there was any way we would be able to get a house within 15 min of each other much fewer neighbors. She remained persistent and continued to work with the seller of our home (who also had an adjacent piece of property with a house on it). This required many calls and emails from her to try and put this deal together for us. Success !! Now, 6 or maybe 8 weeks later, we finally closed on our homes

Simply this What I started out wanting to say to you is simply this: Brooke is a very effective realtor, who takes care of every person she meets as a ” friend”. She is tireless in her assistance with helping a person to settle into a new home or rental. She has been an immeasurable help to us adjusting to our new country as well. Her positive happy attitude is infectious and makes you feel everything is going to turn out all right….. I feel quite blessed to call her a friend and look forward to many happy years in our new home.

She is completely unpretentious Within 5 minutes of meeting Brooke, my wife and I both knew that she was the real estate agent we wanted to work with. Brooke is down to earth, completely unpretentious, 100% bilingual and extremely knowledgeable about the Costa Rican real estate market. She is always easy to reach, never fails to get back to you, and is always responsive and helpful. More than that, she makes herself available to ex-pat buyers, long after the closing to help with the many challenges related to living in a foreign country.

Extremely happy with the result During the past two years, my wife and I have bought two houses in Costa Rica, sold one of them, and looked at many more and the service we have received from Brooke has been second to none. In the past, I have bought properties in England, Canada, and New Zealand, and, at no time, have I experienced such a complete real estate package as Brooke. Absolute trust and honesty are Brooke’s main attributes, closely followed by uncanny attention to detail and personal support in those many issues that inevitably have to be resolved here in Costa Rica. Brooke’s communication skills, in both Spanish and English, are exemplary. Her continual good-naturedness in resolving all those frustrating bureaucratic nightmares is a lesson to all of us in patience and goodwill. I am very happy to unhesitatingly recommend Brooke for all your real estate needs, be they buying, selling, or renting and I’m confident that, with Brooke looking after you completely, you will be extremely happy with the result.

We say Brooke is the Role Model for ‘post-sale services!’ We only wanted to look in the Grecia area. Brooke impressed us with her eagerness to research and find answers to our questions she could not answer immediately. We trusted her answers because we were confident she would not tell us something simply to give us an answer. Real estate transactions are always stressful. I do not know what else Brooke could have done to make it easier. She consistently responded to questions, calls, and emails very quickly, often immediately. Brooke accompanied us to all the important meetings. Way After Closing In a concise word, YES, we are very satisfied with Brooke’s post-sale services! Early after meeting Brooke, she told us that she followed up with her clients to help them adjust. She has helped us in more ways than we could list, but to list just a few… Brooke has referred us to professionals. She has pointed us in the right direction many times. Lending us a compassionate ear, she has helped us make all kinds of decisions. She went into the bank with us and helped us open up our first account. She helped us resolve issues at the Post Office. Recently, she met us at the municipal offices and helped us pay our property taxes. She has offered to go with us to get our driver’s licenses, which we have not done yet. We say Brooke is the Role Model for ‘post-sale services!’

Brooke is a wealth of information on resources of all kinds We contacted Brooke Bishop online, and she arranged for us to see about 8 properties on a fact-finding trip. Our experience was over the top with her. Not only did she have our best interest at heart, but she is a wealth of information on resources of all kinds. Our experience with her gave us the confidence to go forward with our plans to move. Brooke took the time to find out what we were looking for and narrowed the field so that most of the houses we looked at, and the areas we visited were of interest. She answered many questions about relocation, immigration, life in Costa Rica, etc. Above all, she referred us to top-notch experts (Attorneys, shipper, business people of all kinds). She continues to provide assistance with translation, referrals to vendors and has become a good friend. There’s not a tax question or immigration question she can’t help me find the answer to.

Post-Sale Service The purchase itself was amazingly smooth. Brooke set us up with attorney Pablo Gonzalez to set up the corporation and draw up the offer and acceptance. Everything else was handled online. She then helped us get utilities transferred, obtain insurance, finds a car, a mechanic, open a bank account…the list goes on. Brooke is a complete relocation assistance service, with many of the services coming after the sale. We could not be happier with the way Brooke has helped us relocate. Brooke continues to take great care of us!

Brooke simply does what it takes to get the job done I’ll make an exception and give a testimonial for agent Brooke Bishop. From either buyers or seller’s perspective, you will not find a better agent relative to communications, follow up, and effort. Brooke and her associates just simply do what it takes to get the job done with integrity and honesty, minus the fluff, she sold two of my properties in the same year. Give Brooke a call in Spanish or English for your commercial, residential or vacant lot purchases and or listing, you’ll then understand the difference between her and other Costa Rica realtors.
