Carol Thompson

Carol honed her exceptional business acumen over a period of 20 years working with major brands in the Canadian Real Estate industry where, as a Licensed Broker, she ran her own Branch Office, specializing in Luxury Beach Real Estate.

‘The Real Estate process is very transactional but there is also a very human element to it and it is important to be receptive to that. The client experience should also be fun and enjoyable.’

Carol's passion for real estate is demonstrated through her unwavering work ethic and “Pura Vida” vibes. In her spare time, she enjoys the other type of boardroom and can be found surfing the Pacific coast beaches with her 4-legged sidekicks in tow.

Carol came to Costa Rica in 2012 on a surfing vacation and instantly fell in love with the country, culture and people, so much so that she decided to make here, Home. Are you ready to dip your toes in? Make Carol a part of your Costa Rican experience.

“I recently worked with Carol Thompson from Coldwell Banker Tamarindo and had a great experience. Carol was knowledgeable and responsive, always keeping me updated throughout the buying process. They were able to find me a property that met all of my needs within my budget. Additionally, their support staff was friendly and helpful, making the whole experience stress-free. I highly recommend Carol and Coldwell Banker Tamarindo to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.”

I bought a house near Tamarindo less than a year ago. My agent, Carol, was the most amazing person! Without her help and guidance I think I would have just quit looking for a house. She went above and beyond her job, and still helps me to this day with any questions, procedures or issues of any kind! There is no way I could have done this without her patience, understanding and amazing personality! Thank you for making my dream come true Carol!

Hola,
We put 1300 miles on a rental car and teamed up with 4 brokers along the way.  Once we met Carol we knew it was a good fit.  Carl Thompson is a true professional!
We are expats and we presented many challenges for Carol to find us what "we" wanted.  Once we found our dream home, Carol continued to work very very hard for us. As the buyers broker Carols interface with the sellers broker also presented many challenges and emotions. Carols knowledge of "how this is done" her resources, her patience and her guidance was invaluable!  When I tell you we did our due dilligence, I mean we did our due dilligence. Through all the excitment and the scariness and the education not once did Carol present as impatient or bothered by "our needs".  This "props to Carol" could easily be very long and full of specefics. Lets just say if you are looking to no longer leave your dreams behind....find Carol and Carol will help you find your dream home!
Pura Vida,
Ron and Erin

We are so fortunate to have met Carol at the very beginning of our property search and Costa Rican home buying experience.  Her experience with living in Costa Rica and familiarity with various locations in Costa Rica was invaluable. She was always available to take us to see properties, as we narrowed our search, and answered our many questions about the properties and various steps in purchasing. Carol also provided us with reputable contacts to help us complete the purchasing process easily and without any major issues. Working with Carol was amazing and gave us confidence throughout the whole process of buying a home in Costa Rica. Carol is an excellent agent and an amazing person. I would recommend her to anyone wanting to buy property in Costa Rica.

I worked with Carol Thompson and Julia Henkel of the Coldwell Banker Tamarindo office.

Searching for and purchasing a new home is a difficult and sometimes stressful process, especially in a foreign country.

Carol and Julia were wonderful helping me identify potential matches. They truly understood my requirements for the home, finding potential properties, making the process efficient and enjoyable. They got me.

Once I found the home, Carol was there by my side through the whole purchasing process, from the offer to closing, always looking out for my interests. Always answering the million questions I had. Great work, it was fun.

Thanks much for helping me find my perfect home.

Pura Vida

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Carol, and I can’t
recommend her enough! Buying a home is always a big deal, but buying
one in another country comes with a whole new set of challenges—and
Carol guided us through every step with patience, knowledge, and
genuine care.

She went above and beyond to help us understand the processes,
paperwork, and local laws that were completely foreign to us. Carol
made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel smooth and
manageable. She answered every question we had (no matter how small),
and always made sure we felt informed and confident in our decisions.

On top of her professionalism, Carol is simply a wonderful person to
work with—kind, responsive, and truly dedicated to her clients. If
you’re looking for someone who will go the extra mile, Carol is the
person you want in your corner!

“We had the most wonderful experience working with Carol. As buyers from the U.S. purchasing a newly built home in the Paraiso area, we were unfamiliar with the local process and needed guidance every step of the way. Carol supported us with kindness, professionalism, and exceptional responsiveness. She patiently answered all of our questions and helped us feel confident throughout the journey. She also connected us with an excellent real estate attorney, which made navigating the legal aspects much smoother. Carol is warm, thoughtful, and consistently went above and beyond for us. We’re so grateful to have worked with her and have already recommended her to several friends. She’s truly amazing!”
