Yalile Alpizar is President, Realtor/Owner of Costa Rica Luxury She started her real estate career over in 1990, after working 12 years in international organizations. She is an expert in many fields, including public relations, management, marketing and high end real estate. She is the pioneer luxury real estate expert of Costa Rica, exclusively dedicated to the top'tier market. Costa Rica has been able to successfully leap into new, high'tech markets thanks, in large part, to her efforts. "In 1997 my company closed a multi'million'dollar deal, selling a 123'acre farm near the International Airport to INTEL Corporation to install their Latin American Regional operations," Alpizar said. "This single transaction changed the future of the whole country. It grabbed the eyes of foreign investors and helped them see Costa Rica with a different vision." Suddenly Costa Rica's typically agricultural economy began to change into an economy oriented to cutting'edge technology and tourism. As the country began to flex its new economic muscles Alpizar saw an opportunity to improve the country's luxury real estate industry and she has worked toward that goal from then to now. By networking with the most recognized international luxury real estate experts, she has pioneered in putting the luxury real estate industry of Costa Rica at the highest level and has set an standard for maximum quality and professionalism in the marketing of luxury homes and million dollar homes. As part of her experience with the most exclusive international luxury real estate networks, she served for several years as Regional Director of Who is Who in Luxury Real Estate and as a member of the Board of Regents. "Brokers selected to serve on the Board of Regents provide leadership in their communities and the highest level of personal service and commitment to their clientele."
