Ian McPherson

Born in Knoxville, TN, Ian is not only a world traveler but a world resident, having crossed both the U.S. to live and work in San Diego, CA and oceans to build businesses in both China and Macau. And then, as so many stories begin, Ian and his wife, Sayaka, visited Costa Rica for the first time. They came to see a friend and left with a love for the pura vida lifestyle and a mission.
 
Ian has been involved in real estate in one way or another most of his adult life. From building homes in Las Vegas to working on sets for Cirque Du Soleil, he saw an amazing opportunity to build he and Sayaka's life in Costa Rica. Ian’s passion for real estate is all-encompassing, and in addition to being a successful luxury NAR members, he also owns and operates a luxury construction and real estate development company.

While you can bond over your shared interests – Ian loves biking, spear fishing, boating, building, swimming, surfing, hiking, pickle ball and learning almost anything new – you know he’ll get down to business when necessary – and get serious at the negotiation table. Break away from the old and invest in your new life in Costa Rica!

"Johanna is the best! I wasn’t familiar with Douglas County. Johanna worked with me to find the perfect home that suited me. I was coming from California, and each visit, Johanna had appointments scheduled for me. She was always very professional and friendly. Johanna helped me find the right lender and assisted with closing as I was still in California. I love my condo, perfect location, and everything I wanted. Johanna helped make the entire process easy and smooth!"

"Being in the real estate industry, working with another Realtor to buy a house can sometimes be hard for both the buyer and the Realtor. In this case it was an awesome experience. We have been friends with Ian Macpherson for several years and when it came time to buy our dream home in Costa Rica there was no other person I would have wanted to work with. At the time he was a trusted friend but we had not worked with him as a Realtor and he proved to be instrumental throughout the entire process. He was responsive with us and relentless in his approach. We made an offer that was not accepted and Ian continued to work with us, the other Realtor, the attorneys and his team to make sure we did not lose out on this once in a lifetime opportunity. After much back and forth we finally were under contract. Buying a home in another country can be stressful with the uncertainty of certain laws, customs and rules and regulations Ian was constantly helping us through the process and even more importantly answering our questions from the United States at all hours of the day and night. Ian had a fantastic network of referrals, from the attorney to contractors, inspection, and surveyor each referral was reasonably priced and thorough. I say this as a real estate coach in the U.S., Ian did a great job and we will be working with him in the future. "
