About Jota Properties

Jota Properties operates as the Costa Rica investment platform of Jlasalle Investments. The platform is guided by an investment-oriented perspective developed through over a decade of working within real estate markets. That background shapes how properties are viewed, evaluated, and sourced. Living in Costa Rica also provides the ability to observe the Central Valley market firsthand. Being present in the region allows for a better understanding of how communities develop, how neighborhoods evolve, and how property opportunities emerge over time. Rather than functioning as a traditional brokerage or listing service, the platform focuses on identifying select off market properties, researching available information, and presenting opportunities so buyers can evaluate them with greater clarity. The objective is not to represent buyers or sellers in a transactional sense, but to provide a clearer view of potential opportunities for those exploring property in Costa Rica.

The process behind Jota Properties is straightforward. Properties are sourced through local connections, market observation, and ongoing research within the Central Valley. Once identified, available information about the property, surrounding area, and general market context is gathered and reviewed. Opportunities that appear to have genuine merit (Jota Certified) are then offered to buyers. From there, buyers may conduct their own independent due diligence and work directly with attorneys, licensed real estate professionals, or other specialists as needed. This structure keeps the platform focused on transparency rather than sales pressure. Many real estate websites in Costa Rica operate primarily as listing catalogs or brokerage platforms. In markets where property information can be fragmented across multiple agencies, buyers often encounter duplicate listings, outdated information, or incomplete details about properties. We emphasizes research, observation, and local insight rather than simply displaying listings. Our objective is simple. To provide the best off-market property opportunities, with the clearest verified property information available in Costa Rica’s Central Valley. This approach allows buyers to review the property through a more practical and informative lens. For international buyers who may be exploring the country from abroad, having someone familiar with the local environment can help provide additional context when reviewing potential opportunities.

Jota Properties reflects a personal journey. Before living in Costa Rica, I approached the country the same way many international buyers do today, exploring the regions, researching communities, and trying to understand how the local property market works. Over time, that curiosity turned into a deeper connection with the country. Living in the Central Valley provided firsthand insight into the communities, the rhythm of everyday life, and the qualities that continue to attract people from around the world.

That perspective now shapes how we operate. By researching properties, monitoring local activity, and staying close to the communities where opportunities emerge, the goal is to source properties that may be of interest to buyers exploring the region. Having once approached the market as an international buyer, I understand many of the questions people have when looking at property in another country. Jota Properties exists to bring opportunities to light and provide a clearer view of what the Central Valley market looks like from someone living within it.
