The first thing I look for in a developer is a long term track record in the area. Many, many developers come into Costa Rica from another country, buy some land, develop it, sell it and then move on. Never to be heard from again.
Generally they will have a record of doing this which can easily be found out with a bit of due diligence. Look for phrases something like; World wide developer, International developer or look at our previous developments.
As far as real estate brokers, definitely go with a well known name and stay away from free agents who work for themselves. They don’t have anyone looking over their shoulder, while larger firms at least have general guidelines for their agents.
Personally, I like dealing with developers directly. They are easier to deal with and there are fewer levels of approvals to go through. In other words; they’re more willing to wheel and deal with you because there are no commissioned agents in the middle.

When, someone is looking for development/real estate company. First thing to do is check whether the company is licensed Realtor associates/brokers, whether the brokerage firm provides a quality service. Check whether the company provides the services like Development services, Property Management, Construction Management, legal services, Investment management, etc.
