Blue Zone Realty International, founded in 2012 by Tim Fenton, emerged from a recognised need for professional real estate representation in Costa Rica. This need stemmed from the challenges of buying property in a foreign country, especially for those unfamiliar with the market and legal frameworks. With over 95% of its buyers from abroad, Blue Zone Realty International has been crafted to cater to international clients, ensuring a seamless property acquisition experience.

The company attracts clients seeking real estate opportunities in Costa Rica. Its marketing highlights the country’s stability, affordability, and natural beauty. Through an award-winning website and the Real Estate Life & Style Costa Rica publication, it showcases expatriate communities, healthcare, and welcoming surroundings. Digital and print campaigns emphasise low property taxes, accessible staff, fresh food, and outdoor activities, while further engagement is done through real estate and yacht shows in the USA and Canada.

Each property listing is prepared with professional photography, virtual tours, and compelling narratives. The launch strategy includes broker open houses, targeted email notifications, and placements in Haute Residence and international publications. As a member of Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, it provides global exposure.

Under Tim Fenton’s leadership, the company has received multiple accolades, including Best Real Estate Agency, Single Office, Costa Rica from the International Property Awards for five consecutive years and Company of the Year from the Latin American Quality Institute in 2020, 2022, and 2024. A six-year exclusive partnership with Haute Residence solidifies its role in serving high-net-worth investors.
