Lauren Mantey

I recently had the pleasure of working with Lauren Mantey from Blue Water Properties during the purchase of our dream home in Costa Rica, and I can't recommend her highly enough. From our initial meeting to the final transaction, Lauren demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to helping us find the perfect dream home. After the sale, we partnered with Lauren and her team at MMP Property Management of Tamarindo to manage the rental and care of our new home. Lauren, with Laura Masis and Valeria Protti, have treated our home like their own, ensuring that it is cared for and meticulously maintained. Most importantly, she and her team have cultivated a profitable and worry-free property rental income for us when we are not enjoying our home ourselves. Overall, our experience with Lauren was, and still is, outstanding. She made a potentially stressful process enjoyable and straightforward. I will wholeheartedly recommend Lauren to friends and family in need of a dedicated and skilled real estate agent. If you’re looking for an agent who combines knowledge, responsiveness, and a personal touch, look no further!

We are truly grateful to our realtor, Lauren Mantey, for helping us find our dream home in Costa Rica.We found Lauren when we first contacted Blue Water Properties to begin our search. At that time, we weren't even sure that a home in Tamarindo was in our future. Lauren was quick to return our call, and from our very first video chat, we knew that she was the agent for us. She took the time to understand our needs, our timeline, and our budget.Over the next six months or so, we connected with Lauren over video chat numerous times. She regularly sent us promising property search listings for us to review, but was never pushy.Although we had been to Tamarindo a few times previously, Lauren encouraged us to make an exploratory house hunting trip. We took her up on her offer, and expected to spend maybe a few hours together looking at several homes. We were incredibly and pleasantly surprised when Lauren spent the majority of a long weekend with us – showing us homes, of course, but also getting to know us better, introducing us to her colleagues and friends, showing us around the town, and sharing her stories with us. She is well-connected in the community and has a vast pool of resources – from attorneys to inspectors to decorators and property managers – to help make purchasing a home in Tamarindo a breeze.Lauren helped us find our dream home in Tamarindo. We can't recommend her highly enough! If you're looking for a realtor who is going to really get to know you, someone who will listen to your needs and desires, and someone who will work really hard to help you find what you're looking for, Lauren is the person for you!Sincerely,Rick and Shazia Buskens.
