Embracing Pura Vida
Hi, I’m Rebecca Clower—but please, call me Becky. Costa Rica isn’t just where my heart is; it’s where my roots are. Born into a Costa Rican-U.S. family, I’m fortunate to carry both worlds within me. In 2006, I took a leap of faith, leaving behind a successful real estate career in Tampa, Florida, to pursue my dream of life in paradise. Little did I know, this bold move would intertwine my personal journey with the flourishing evolution of Guanacaste’s real estate market.
Settling in Guanacaste: Building a Life and Career
Driven by a desire to live closer to family and follow my passion for real estate, I relocated to Guanacaste. Initially, I joined a major international brokerage, immersing myself fully—building connections, learning local market nuances, and earning my Costa Rican real estate credentials. Within just a year, ambition inspired me to establish Blue Water Properties, which has since grown into Guanacaste’s largest independent real estate brokerage. Today, as CEO, I prioritize building genuine client relationships, conducting business with integrity, and making a positive impact in our community.Market Trends Through My Lens
When I arrived, Guanacaste’s real estate market was a diamond in the rough. Fast-forward to today, and areas like Tamarindo, Flamingo, and Nosara have become investment goldmines. Despite global fluctuations, our local market has demonstrated remarkable resilience and continuous growth, driven by the desire for coastal living, improved infrastructure, and Guanacaste’s rising international profile. My experiences—both successes and challenges—have provided invaluable insights into navigating this dynamic landscape.
The New Wave of Buyers
Over nearly two decades, I’ve witnessed firsthand a significant shift in buyer demographics—from traditional retirees to a diverse mix of digital nomads, families, and eco-conscious investors. Today’s buyers prioritize lifestyle, sustainability, and a meaningful connection to nature, reshaping both local developments and the very essence of our communities.Investing with Heart: Sustainable and Community-Focused Developments
For me, real estate success transcends numbers—it’s about making a tangible difference. My team and I actively support community initiatives such as building homes for local families and investing in education and charitable causes. Blue Water Properties isn’t merely selling properties—we’re dedicated to creating sustainable legacies that will positively impact future generations.
At Blue Water Properties, community is at the heart of everything we do. Each year, our Foundation helps a local family achieve the dream of a safe, secure home. This year, we’re honored to support Valeria’s family in Playa Brasilito. Thanks to the incredible generosity and collaboration of our community, Valeria’s new home is already underway. Every nail, every wall, every smile reminds us why we give back. Together, we build more than houses—we build hope.
