Global luxury real estate leader Engel & Völkers announces its expansion into Samara, Costa Rica, marking its third Costa Rica location to open in the past year. Led by license partner and managing broker Dawn Wolfe, the shop serves neighborhoods across Playa Samara, Garza, Carrillo, Camaronal and Punta Islita. 

"Costa Rica has been an exciting expansion market for Engel & Völkers," said Anthony Hitt, president and CEO, Engel & Völkers. "Samara is its own slice of paradise and is a natural fit for Engel & Völkers and our approachable, yet high-end real estate services and expertise.”

Along Costa Rica's Pacific coast, Samara shines as a hidden gem with its stunning four km-long beach sheltered by a spacious bay. Nearby, Garza offers an eclectic blend of pristine beaches and lush jungle landscapes, complemented by the tranquil haven of Puerto Carrillo with its serene beaches and friendly ambiance. Camaronal stands out for its dedicated wildlife conservation efforts and world class surfing, while Punta Islita beckons with luxurious resorts and exclusive amenities. These coastal treasures offer an unforgettable experience of sun, surf, and relaxation.

"Benefiting from the reputation and world-class standards of the Engel & Völkers brand, our commitment is to elevate the benchmarks of luxury real estate in the region," said Wolfe. “We are excited to leverage the brand’s global network as we welcome many of our buyers who come from the US, Canada, and overseas.”

Wolfe embarked on her real estate journey in 2008, specializing initially in short sales. Transitioning to commercial real estate, she spearheaded the development of a new REO asset management department for a brokerage before overseeing portfolios for major banks such as Zions and Chase. With over $50 million in transactions within four years, she pivoted to working directly with local buyers and sellers as part of Engel & Völkers Salt Lake City, Utah. 

"I am so thrilled to have been able to move my family to the incredible beach village of Samara and bring the Engel & Völkers name with me,” said Wolfe. “There are so many opportunities for us to expand our client offerings with locations across the globe that are key feeder markets to Costa Rica. With access to a range of cutting-edge tools, resources, and support provided by the brand, our real estate advisors are empowered to unleash their full potential and provide unparalleled service to our clients.”
