Larry was born in Chandler, Quebec, Canada. He was adopted and brought to the United States at thirteen months old.
He first visited Costa Rica in 1997. Little by little his vacations to Costa Rica became longer and more frequent. After falling head over heels for an Argentine girl in the town he frequented he made the leap to move to Costa Rica.
Larry’s expertise was in small business management, which led him to help in sales and management of a local store in Tamarindo for a number of years.
He then began working in a real estate office in Tamarindo. He stayed there for three years and always focused his energy on the areas south of Tamarindo. He noticed the constant demand in Playa Negra and decided to open his own independent office in the town where he lives.
Larry knows the area market better than anyone. He has researched the available properties and has weeded out the good from the bad. He is not a “hard seller”. In fact, he prefers to let the buyers sell themselves. His honor and passion have helped many make their future Costa Rican dreams a reality. It gives him great pleasure to turn clients into neighbors.

Dan came to Costa Rica in 2015 on the back end of a 9-month surfing sabbatical from his native England. After having spent over 10 years in sales, including automotive, recruitment and B2B account management, his idea was to clear his mind, improve his surfing and return to England to continue his passion for sales. After 9 months of traveling South and Central America, it was always going to be difficult to go back!
Since deciding to move to Costa Rica at the end of 2015 Dan has been involved in a number of local businesses including Hostel management, Restaurant management, Property management and the ownership and operation of a successful tour company in Tamarindo, all benefitting from his sales approach. Naturally, his passion for sales and customer satisfaction lead him to become our newest member of the team here in the Tamarindo office. With his keen attention to detail, focus on customers’ needs and his tenacity to succeed he will get the right home for you. His main area of focus is within the Tamarindo area, Condominiums, plots of land, houses and small business are his areas of focus.
