An American on the ground in Sicily and Costa Rica — sourcing, vetting, and delivering off-market real estate opportunities to qualified U.S. buyers. Built for partnership with Brown Harris Stevens.
I'm an American entrepreneur living between Sicily and Costa Rica. For more than 15 years I've built relationships with local agents, attorneys, notaries, agronomists, builders, and craftsmen across both regions. Every property I bring forward has been walked personally, vetted legally, and packaged with marketing-ready materials before it reaches a U.S. buyer's inbox.
I find properties before they reach the open market — through my local network of agents, sellers, and longtime contacts. Every listing is walked in person.
Where properties need restoration or new construction, I manage the project end-to-end using my established local builder and craftsman network.
I produce professional drone footage, photography, and video walk-throughs for every property — ready to present to high-net-worth buyers without further investment from your agents.
I'm available as the local liaison through the entire purchase — coordinating site visits, attorney calls, and translation between U.S. buyers and Italian or Costa Rican counterparties.
Sicily and Costa Rica share a unique profile: strong American buyer demand, favorable government incentives, world-renowned lifestyle appeal, and significant value relative to comparable U.S. or Western European destinations. They are also two of the few places left where truly off-market inventory still exists for those with local access.
Sicily offers historic stone farmhouses, productive olive estates, coastal properties, and luxury restorations at prices significantly below mainland Italian markets. Italy's restoration incentive programs and EU residency pathways make it especially attractive to American buyers seeking a foothold in Europe.
The American market is growing fast — particularly among professionals seeking second homes, semi-retirees pursuing residency, and investors looking for productive land that delivers both lifestyle and rental yield.
Costa Rica is the established leader in Central American luxury and lifestyle real estate for North American buyers — offering political stability, no military, strong property rights, and the proximity advantage of just a 3-hour flight from major U.S. hubs.
My pipeline focuses on the southern Pacific zone — cloud forest properties, off-grid eco-builds, and turnkey hospitality assets in some of the country's most ecologically rich and tourism-favored corridors.
Brown Harris Stevens' client base already includes many of the exact buyers actively looking for premium international real estate. What's been missing is a trusted, accountable, on-the-ground partner who can deliver pre-vetted opportunities directly to agents, with the local infrastructure to execute closings cleanly. That's what I bring.
Direct access to a curated, vetted pipeline of off-market properties — available to BHS agents and clients before they reach broader international platforms.
Structured commission arrangements that allow BHS agents to participate in international sales without leaving their primary market.
Every property delivered with professional drone footage, photography, and video assets — ready for BHS branding and presentation.
Full support from inquiry through closing and beyond — including translation, attorney coordination, and post-purchase property management.
I'm seeking a formal partnership or the creation of a dedicated international real estate division at Brown Harris Stevens — with Sicily and Costa Rica as anchor markets. The opportunity is to give your agents and clients an exclusive, vetted gateway to two of the most sought-after international destinations, executed with the same standard of excellence BHS is known for in the U.S.
Below is a representative sample of properties currently in the active pipeline. The full inventory — including off-market opportunities not displayed publicly — is available on request.
Turnkey luxury estate within the Fiumara d'Arte cultural park. 550 century-old olive trees, four independent apartments, panoramic pool, Energy Class A4.
Pristine 3-hectare finca with natural springs, creeks, pasture, and existing barn-house structure. 7 minutes from downtown San Isidro.
Additional off-market and pre-listing luxury properties are available to qualified partners and buyers. Full pipeline accessible on partnership inquiry.
Active pipeline updated continuously. Full inventory, comparable analyses, and marketing materials shared under partnership NDA.
If Brown Harris Stevens is interested in building a dedicated international real estate division — or in exploring how this pipeline could benefit your agents and clients today — I'd welcome the opportunity to share the full inventory and discuss partnership structure.
