Top Agent Magazine: Tony & Laurel DiMaggio
We are so proud to have two of our top agents recognized as in this months Top Agent Magazine. Tony is a real asset to Coldwell Banker Tamarindo, we will continue to support him and his hard work. Well done Tony!
 

Although they both came to careers in real estate on different paths, Tony and Laurel DiMaggio are now one of the most successful teams in the business. In fact it’s the differences between the pair that has created their synergy.


 

Tony had spent most of his life in the real estate business and was a licensed California real estate broker before moving to Tamarindo, Costa Rica almost 17 years ago. Once he got settled, he picked up the career again and it quickly became his full time passion.


 

In 2003, Laurel joined Tony. Although her background had been in the dental field, as Tony points out, it actually served as a wonderful foundation for real estate. “She literally would hold people’s hands through stressful situations and real estate requires the same client care and patience. We complement each other with our varied skill sets and that makes our partnership.”


 

The way they work together has been especially advantageous in the challenging resort market in which they do business. As Tony points out, “We often work with visitors who have just a few days to see and understand our market, so you have to be on top of your game in order to be effective with that time constraint. On the flip-side, we work remotely with many of our clients and that can take months, sometimes longer, of emailing back and forth before their possible arrival. That’s where Laurel’s patience can be invaluable. By the time the client arrives she’s already established a strong relationship with them, more like a friendship!


 

We love showing properties together and have fun playing off of one another. Laurel’s focus is on the set up. My strength is on the addressing client’s questions, detailing the buying process in Costa Rica and when they find the right property, contract negotiations. When you work with us, you get two people working very hard for you, offering a full range of service.”


 

Laurel also credits their success with a commitment to high ethical standards. One of the things I admired right away with Tony was the way in which operated himself professionally. Clients sense that and I think that’s also why other agents like working with us. We’ve earned their trust which has great personal and business value in our lives and we don’t take that for granted.”


 

Tony and Laurel take a personal approach to sales. According to Tony “When we are thinking right, it’s about helping people. I don’t even like the term ‘sales’ because I don’t really think you sell real estate. You show it and the more you know your clients the easier it becomes to find the right properties and the rest takes care of itself, if you have the other complementary skills. Most of our business at this point is fortunately driven by client referrals. For that we are grateful, what we do is made much easier when our valued clients and friends pave the way.”


 

Tony and Laurel are actively involved in their community, supporting numerous charitable events, in particular ones that help out the local schools. Laurel is a member and Tony has served two terms as a board member of the Costa Rica Global Association of REALTORS (CRGAR), an organization that is dedicated to establishing ethical standards and educational training for real estate professionals in Costa Rica.


 

Tony and Laurel couldn’t be more thrilled with their business and look forward to helping many more people find not only their dream home, but discover the incredible lifestyle that Costa Rica offers. “For Tony and I there’s nothing better than actually feeling the joy of our clients when they realize they’ve achieved their dream. Seeing how you’ve impacted someone’s life in a positive way is what keeps us motivated.”

While my computer is still running here, I'd like to take the opportunity to thank you for your help during our stay.
When we first came to your office, we were in dire straights and in desperate need of assistance. Andrea was extremely compassionate, spoke with candor, and had a "can do attitude" that was of immense help.
In addition, Andrea has put us in contact with Steve, with whom we are working, preparing to view a little property that might be just what we are looking for at this particular time.
In addition, having gotten to know Andrea personally as well as professionally has been our great pleasure. I wanted to let you know what a tremendous asset she is to your company. She is a great treasure -- a one in a million.

Tina Parker, Costa Rica

We had so much fun at Buena Vista. Thanks for arranging that with Memo.
I also want to say many thanks for all that you have done. We have enjoyed Costa Rica and I have found you so helpful with everything and a pleasure to deal with that it was a very stress free vacation. When I do come back here hopefully you will still be doing what what you do.
Our last couple of days will be spent enjoying the sunshine and eating at great restaurants. Sincerely,

Tara, Kevin and Roy., Costa Rica

Laurel and Tony,
The both of you were fantastic with us throughout the property search and purchase process. As we had mentioned, two other attempts to find thorough, attentive, responsive agents to work with in Tamarindo were failures. I expect that we are more work to deal with than many others as we asked a lot of thorough and analytical questions and expected responses to all of them. You two never failed to deliver. The organization and execution of our condo shopping trip in January was excellent and the fact that you two devoted 2 full days to us, around our schedule, to get this deal done was key to our success. The selection of properties that Laurel planned out, including a few places above and below our target zone helped us to refine our interests. We truly appreciated your interest in our success. This could easily have been very stressful for us, and yet, it wasn’t. Thank you very much.
As a side note, when we walked into the Coldwell Banker office randomly with no appointment in November had we not found your office staff patient and accommodating from the start we would have simply walked on to the next agency. Your staff deserves special mention for getting us interested in the agency to begin with.
We will give you some advance notice before we make our first trip down so that we can plan to get together for lunch or dinner. We are tentatively planning on somewhere in the last 2 weeks of May, as soon as our son gets out of school for the summer.

Dan Batliner, Costa Rica

We are- UNHAPPILY- home safe. Would much rather be back in Tamarindo. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING you did to make our stay a joy ! We look very much forward to seeing you on our next trip to Costa Rica. PURA VIDA !
