Every home purchase or sale is different. Here's what buyers and sellers who worked with me across Guanacaste have to say about the experience.
"We met Miriam on a phone call from Las Vegas, inquiring about buying a home in Costa Rica on February 2nd, and by March 17th we were homeowners in the Guanacaste area. Miriam is super professional, knowledgeable, and knows the market very well. She was always available to answer our multitude of questions and helped us through the complexities of buying a home in Costa Rica. She helped us find our attorney and property manager, and was great at negotiating on our behalf. It was really a stress-free experience. She's multilingual, genuine, super sweet, and very easy to work with. We made an offer before even seeing the home because she made us feel that comfortable. We put all our trust in her, and she delivered. Pura Vida."

"Working with Miriam to purchase our house in Costa Rica was a great experience. We can't recommend her highly enough! Through this process she has always been quick to respond and was very proactive in finding us the best properties. She is extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market in Costa Rica and was essential in helping us narrow down the area that we wanted to be in. The process of purchasing our home was seamless and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Because we were purchasing from out of the country she helped us find an international lawyer and helped us navigate the logistics of a complicated purchase. On top of that she is so warm and friendly and our family has loved getting to know her. We would absolutely recommend Miriam to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Costa Rica. Not only do we consider her our realtor now but a great friend."

"It was our pleasure to work with Miriam in our search for a property. When we first started our search we weren't exactly sure of the type of property we wanted, so we toured homes from Playa Potrero to Tamarindo. Miriam was very professional, personable, and patient in her approach while helping us find our slice of Pura Vida. Her enthusiasm and dedication made the entire process seamless. We feel like we weren't just treated as clients, but friends. We highly recommend Miriam!"

"We had an excellent experience working with Miriam Nolte. She is incredibly professional, helpful, and truly goes the extra mile to find the perfect match for her clients. Miriam helped us purchase a lot in Tamarindo, and her support went far beyond what we expected. She guided us through every step, coordinated smoothly with the seller and the lawyer, and even after the sale continued to help by providing valuable feedback on our architectural plans and introducing us to reliable builders. Her dedication, responsiveness, and deep local knowledge made the entire process smooth and reassuring. We would 100% recommend Miriam to anyone looking to buy property in the area."
Buyer, Tamarindo
"Miriam was such a pleasure to work with! She not only has great contacts for all of the real estate resources you need (including an excellent property and development attorney), but she's also knowledgeable about the local area, culture, stores, and services, which makes everything easier for people who want to purchase a home in Costa Rica. I recommend her unreservedly — you won't be disappointed!"

"Miriam is a dream partner when searching for your dream home. We started talking to her months before we moved to Costa Rica. We didn't know anything about the country, the area, or the type of houses available — we just knew which school our daughter would be going to. Miriam supported us throughout the process of finding a temporary rental for our initial months, taking videos of areas and giving us all the info we needed remotely whilst we were in the UK, which was so brilliant as looking at houses online was different from the reality of understanding the area. Within 5 weeks of moving to Costa Rica, Miriam found us our dream home. We've lived in many homes and in many different countries and never had such a brilliant experience and such a beautiful home! Miriam is super responsive and knowledgeable, plus she's got a lovely energy to work with. I've got high expectations of service and nowadays it can be difficult to find someone who shares your vision and your sense of urgency — Miriam exceeded all my expectations. Thank you so much Miriam for helping us to make the impossible, possible."

"I'm super happy that I chose Miriam as my realtor to sell my property. First I was sceptical to give exclusivity to only one realtor, but now I'm so glad I did. Miriam was putting a lot of effort into promoting my property and finding the right buyer. Communication with her was effortless and she always kept me up to date with the whole process. I can recommend Miriam to everyone that is selling or buying a house in Guanacaste, Costa Rica."
Seller
"Working with Miriam to sell our home was one of the best decisions we've made. From our first consultation to the final closing, she handled everything with professionalism, transparency, and attention to detail. What impressed us most was her constant communication, honest advice, and calm guidance throughout the process. Selling a home can be emotional and stressful, but Miriam made it feel seamless and even exciting. If you're looking for someone who knows the market, works hard for their clients, and gets real results, I highly recommend PuraVida Tribe Luxury Properties."

"Words cannot express my gratitude and thankfulness Miriam Nolte provided to me, when selling my home. She is incredibly knowledgeable, a go-getter, and super professional. From the moment we spoke, she was immediately working on every aspect to ensure a quick sale. I literally was left doing nothing except reviewing contracts and offers. Not having this on top of my other responsibilities was a blessing. She went above and beyond to find a buyer for me. There's not another realtor out there that could've provided me with the ease and comfort of knowing we were making all the right decisions! Thank you."
