I went to Costa Rica in September to attend an International Living Magazine conference. During the conference we went to John Patrick Wilson's booth. He had the Lake Arenal properties for Buena Vista for sale, also known as Yes Arenal. He invited us to come view and stay at his property for a few days. We accepted.
John Patrick Wilson and his staff are very nice at first but watch out.
We entered into an agreement and gave a $2500 deposit on what we thought was our dream vacation home in September. This agreement was subject to our Attorney's approval.
You see, we heard so many horror stories about Americans being ripped off buying property in foreign countries so we wanted to be extra careful and let an Attorney review the agreement before we made any kind of a real commitment
A couple of days after we signed the agreement and the contract was under review with our Attorney, we received an email from the John Wilson staff stating "they wanted $15,000 more right away".
