RE/MAX Resort Properties Papagayo, founded and led by the team of Iris and Dennis Mailloux, was established in 1994; with a focus on sales and property management.  This couple has been living in Costa Rica, specifically in Playas del Coco, for the past 14 years (Costa Rican residents for 13 years); developing an in-depth knowledge of the Pacific Northwest, and specializing in resort developments, residential lots and homes, beach front and ocean view properties, as well as property management services.

With a vast background in sales and supervision, Iris Mailloux is a leader for the RE/MAX organization in Costa Rica.  Iris prides herself in informative honesty as well as sharing her knowledge and personal experience with every prospective property owner or seller.  The belief is that an informed client is a happy client.  With consistent top 5 showings for real estate sales, transactions and commissions in RE/MAX international offices, this strategy has proven to be a winning one.

Predicting the trends and assessing appropriate value in any real estate market can be a difficult task.  In a booming climate such as Costa Rica’s, this can be particularly difficult if you are inexperienced with the local market or unfamiliar with government / legal regulations, processes and procedures.  Needless to say, a growing market can attract many “entrepreneurs” whose chief interest in the real estate profession is a commission, regardless of how it is obtained.  

With over 14 years of familiarity with the area, Iris has acquired a comprehensive understanding of the Papagayo Peninsula, the people and practices of Costa Rica. With this knowledge she has the ability to anticipate the upcoming changes and development of the area. Along the way, she has built an impeccable reputation based on high standards of ethics and professionalism.  Very few offices in the area can boast registered membership with both the Costa Rican Board of Realtors and Guanacaste Association of Realtors, as RE/MAX Resort Properties Papagayo can. Dennis Mailloux, with over 25 years experience with a leading North American technology corporation, possesses extensive skills in executive management and sales.  This background has transferred well to the property management division.   With almost 2 dozen homes and condominiums in their portfolio, the trust that is built before and during the property purchase is carried through into the administration of your asset.  Dennis can assist you in the maintenance of your property for personal use, rental income, or both, and frequently administers advice for new and prospective residents to the area.
