Michael Mills is a highly experienced real estate professional with over 26 years of expertise in Costa Rica, specializing in the dynamic Guanacaste region. Originally from Ontario, Canada, and later a resident of Shawnigan Lake, British Columbia, Mills first discovered Costa Rica in 1995 and made the life-changing decision to relocate permanently in 1999. Today, he serves as the Managing Broker for Tres Amigos Realty Group, leading the office in Playas del Coco with a reputation for excellence, integrity, and results-driven service.
A recognized innovator in the Costa Rican real estate market, Mills was among the early pioneers to incorporate online video and drone technology into property marketing. His forward-thinking approach significantly elevated how properties are presented, attracting a global audience and accelerating sales timelines. Clients consistently commend his professionalism, market insight, and the measurable impact of his advanced marketing strategies.
Having established deep roots in the Playas del Coco, Playa Hermosa, Papagayo, and Playa Panama communities, Mills possesses an exceptional understanding of the local real estate landscape. His extensive network of trusted legal professionals, builders, and property managers allows him to offer clients a seamless, full-service experience—whether they are relocating, investing, or purchasing a vacation property.
Mills also recognized early the immense growth potential of Guanacaste, driven in part by the accessibility of Liberia International Airport. This strategic advantage has attracted major global brands and luxury developments, including Coca-Cola, Walmart, Waldorf Astoria, Ritz-Carlton, and Four Seasons Resort. These developments have contributed to rising property values and positioned the region as one of Costa Rica’s most desirable real estate markets.
Beyond real estate, Mills has a personal passion for sharing the beauty of Costa Rica. As the former owner and captain of the Spanish Dancer Catamaran Sailing Charters, he provided unforgettable snorkeling and sunset experiences, connecting visitors with the natural splendor of the region.
With decades of experience, a deep local network, and a genuine passion for Costa Rica, Michael Mills is dedicated to helping clients find their perfect piece of paradise in Guanacaste.
