As the founder of We Are Costa Rica Real Estate & Rentals (WERCR), I’m proud to say I’ve built a boutique firm with a bold attitude and a portfolio that many say reads like Costa Rica’s luxury A-list. I’ve carved out my space in this highly competitive market by breaking industry molds with equal parts grit, grace, and grounded experience. While my team and I have direct and co-listed access to over 1,000 of the country's most exclusive properties, my true passion lies in working directly with buyers—and my greatest asset is something you won’t find on paper: deep, personal understanding.
Why? Because I’ve lived the expat life. I was raised in Costa Rica by expat parents—my mother is from Barcelona, and my father is originally from Alabama—so I understand the nuances, hesitations, and dreams that come with relocating. I know firsthand what it feels like to build a life abroad, to need trust in your advisors, and to crave the blend of comfort, opportunity, and authenticity that Costa Rica offers. That’s why I specialize in serving the expat market—not just as a broker, but as a guide who truly gets it.
My brand is known for being sharp, bold, rebellious, and probably a bit hipper than most—but my real edge comes from doing things differently and always on my own terms. I focus on Exclusive Buyer Representation and have become a trusted ally to high-net-worth individuals, serial investors, relocating families, and the occasional celebrity who prefers to keep things off the radar. Whether it’s a beachfront estate, a private family home, or a high-stakes relocation, I know how to open the right doors—and when to keep them closed.
My career has taken me from the glamor of Miami and New York to the soul of the Caribbean and the rhythm of Central America. I started in hospitality, which shaped my approach to white-glove service, and worked with some of the most iconic names in the industry: Ian Schrager Hotels, Morgan’s Hotel Group, The Gansevoort, Hilton, The Biltmore, the Versace Mansion, Barton G Enterprises, Enjoy Hotels and Hotelera Los Altos—the visionary team behind Auberge’s Hacienda AltaGracia here in Costa Rica.
Beyond WERCR, I proudly serve on the Board of Directors for the Costa Rica Global Association of Realtors as Treasurer, pushing for innovation, transparency, and professionalism in our industry. I’m also a Certified International Broker, reflecting my commitment to global standards and seamless cross-border transactions.
And while real estate is my passion, my world also revolves around my family. I’m a mom of two, a seven-time dog mom, and wife to my business partner and WERCR Co-Founder, Henry De Castro. We live just outside San José in Hacienda Los Reyes, a community we love, support, and proudly represent. Around here, they call me “La Reina de Los Reyes”—and let’s just say, I’ve earned the crown! :)
I’m not your average broker. I’m the one you call when you want real results, real guidance, and someone who will actually answer the phone at 3 a.m. if you need them. Grounded, bold, fiercely loyal (and yes, unapologetically direct when it matters), I’m here to help you navigate Costa Rica’s market like a pro—one signature, one deal, and one pink power blaze at a time.
