Ron’s Bio
Let me introduce myself.
Hello, my name is Ron Lambrecht; I am a licensed professional Real Estate Agent for Tres Amigos Realty Group in the Papagayo region (Northwest) of Costa Rica. I was raised and spent most of my life in the Rocky Mountains of Western Canada, enjoying the outdoors, sports, family and friends. I worked in a sales and management capacity most of my life, building relationships with customers and developing big brands. I enjoyed the fast-paced of the global package goods companies (Pepsi cola and Labatt Breweries of Canada). These companies provided me and my family with a fantastic lifestyle and great experiences. They taught me the invaluable art of sales and allowed me to grow and gain expertise in the field and build a great network of colleagues, friends and wonderful customers.
After 50+ years in Canada, (which I really enjoyed, watching the continuous change of seasons), I found the winters to be too long. We would often holiday in Hawaii or Mexico, finding ourselves not wanting to come home. Then one day we choose to Holiday somewhere different, Costa Rica was our choice, and from there we never looked back. We fell in Love with the landscape, people, ocean, beaches, culture, food and climate. We went back home to Canada, sold everything and moved to Costa Rica 1 year later.
What is Costa Rica Like?
Costa Rica has many different climates throughout the country. Whether you are looking for warm weather near the beaches or a little cooler weather up in the mountains you are sure to find what you are looking for. We travelled and visited the majority of the country, enjoying everywhere we went. After many discussions, we finally settled in Playas Del Coco in the Guanacaste Province.
We choose Playas Del Coco for many reasons – proximity to an International Airport (Liberia International Airport), Healthcare - Costa Rica has great healthcare, and there are fantastic Doctors, Dentists and Natural Health Practitioners here. There is both Public and Private Health Care in Costa Rica. Weather – the weather is amazing year-round with only 2 seasons (Dry and Green Season) daily highs of +32C (90F) and evening lows of +24C (75F). We are a 1 ½ hour drive to 3 different volcanoes with an abundance of things to do (Zip-lining, River Tubing, Horseback Riding, Hiking, Hot Springs, Waterfalls, and beautiful countryside). We live in a beach town so there is also a lot to do on the water; World-Class Deep-Sea Fishing, Sailboats, Catamarans, Snorkeling, Scuba Diving, Surfing, Swimming, Sea Dooing, Paddle Boards, Kayaks and much more.
Playas Del Coco is a laid-back, safe beach community with a full selection of services – Real Estate Agents, Banks, Supermarkets, Car Rentals, An abundance of great restaurants, Doctors, Lawyers, Immigration Specialists, Souvenir stores, Tour companies, Mechanical shops and much, much more.
Turning our Passion into business
COSTA RICA is now our home, and we Love it. We have since bought our own place, received our Costa Rican Residency Status, set up a corporation, started our business called Paradise Found Real Estate, acquired a Costa Rican Real Estate License and have settled into the community of Playas Del Coco since 2017. We have always had a passion for Real Estate; every time we travelled, we always wanted to look at properties. We have bought many properties over the years and even built a custom home, which was difficult to leave. With our passion for Real Estate, we would continuously check out the local market wanting to someday turn our passion into a business. As they say, if you put your dreams into the universe, work towards them and believe, one day they will come true. One of the first people we meet in Coco (Michael Simons), happens to be the owner of the largest real estate company in the country, Tres Amigos Realty Group. We became good friends over the years and after we completed all the criteria to become a licensed real estate agent, we were invited to join the Tres Amigos Team, the top performing Real Estate Company in Central and South America. Talk about an exciting opportunity, selling amazing homes and condos in the most beautiful place on earth, WOW, Dreams do come true!

Robin’s Bio
Hello, my name is Robin, and I grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Since a young age, I’ve had an entrepreneurial spirit and passion for sales, from selling vehicles for Holiday Chev Olds to owning and operating several businesses throughout the years. I have been involved in renovations, custom design, building of a Master Home, and sales of various properties in Canada. I’ve worked as the administrator involved in restructuring and renovating a health care facility in Alberta Canada and understand the process of collaboration needed between all involved.
After spending three weeks visiting Costa Rica for my birthday in 2016, my husband and I fell in love with the people and the weather, sold our acreage in Alberta, and moved to the Guanacaste area. We spent a year travelling throughout the country, obtained residency, and settled in the Papagayo area in the beach town of Playas Del Coco.
Playas Del Coco is a bustling quaint little beach town with so much to offer. It is one of many amazing towns in the Papagayo Gulf of Guanacaste which has an average year-round temperature of 92 degrees. The vibe here is laid back, family-oriented with lots of adventures in nature just waiting for you. The saying ‘Pura Vida’ is used commonly in Costa Rica and means ‘Pure Life.’ – Something we all strive for.
What sold me is the friendly people, the stable government, high-quality health care, food, the vicinity to an international airport, the ability to hold title to the property and their residency program. But most of all was to enjoy a summer day, every day! Walking on the beach every morning by the ocean enjoying the sun, greeting one another, watching the boats taking people out fishing or sightseeing, or hanging in my hammock under the palm trees. Every day feels like a vacation. The only word that describes this area is “Paradise.”
“Paradise Found Costa Rica” started by assisting visitors with transportation, accommodations, and tours. This business gives us a unique ability to view many homes in different subdivisions so we can direct you to the perfect fit for you. Many times, our guests would ask about purchasing a home which directed my husband Ron and I to take our Real Estate Certification in Costa Rica. Becoming licensed professional realtors enables us to answer and direct our clients with confidence.
I have lived in Costa Rica since 2017, have obtained my permanent residency and have purchased property in Coco. We even renewed our wedding vows here. I can’t image living anywhere else and am eager to represent you throughout the entire home buying and/or selling process so you too can own a “Dream Home in Paradise”.

- Knowledge of the Market: One of the biggest benefits of working with me is the knowledge our Reality Group has of the local market. Tres Amigos has been assisting people to buy and sell homes in the area for over 20 years, giving us a deep understanding of the area, including the current market trends, pricing, and availability of homes. We have the largest up-to-date inventory for the Papagayo Gulf area, which is the fastest-growing expat and tourist area in the country. I can provide you with valuable insight that can help you make the best decision when it comes to buying or selling a home. I have lived in this area for 6 years and have gone through the purchasing process personally. I am continuously doing research to stay on top of current trends and new properties and developments.
- Negotiation Skills: “The man who is prepared has his battle half fought.” Cervantes. Another benefit of working with me is my experience with building relationships, clear open communication, negotiation approach, skills/techniques, and ethical practice. I was the President of a union group for over 6 years and have been involved in negotiating equitable contracts. I will represent you as the seller or buyer by being prepared to help you get the best deal possible. I will negotiate on your behalf and ensure that you get the best price by collaborating, being prepared, and creating value to produce a win-win situation for all involved. Negotiation is a process involving problem-solving collaboratively, exploring options, and coming to a win-win agreement on the tough issues first to meet everyone’s needs.
- Access to Resources: I have access to extensive resources that can assist you with the home buying or selling process. I am able to connect you with lenders, home inspectors, Lawyers, builders, property managers, and other professionals who can help make the process easier.
- Personal Experience - I have personally moved from another country (Canada), purchased and owned property in Costa Rica for over 5 years, opened bank accounts, and business accounts, went through the steps to obtain residency with immigration and so on. From firsthand experience, I am confident I can assist you through the process to make your transition as smooth as possible.
- Skills - property law, regulatory framework, due diligence, taxes, ethics, immigration, condominiums, contracts, property ownership, registry, etc.
