Mike Poynton made his first trip to Costa Rica in 2002 and never looked back. By 2005, he had traded Chicago winters for the warm beaches of Playa Hermosa, launching a property management business that later opened the door to his real estate career. With 20 years of living in Costa Rica, Mike brings a deep knowledge of the local market, culture, and lifestyle.
Before relocating, Mike was a licensed architect in Illinois, working on major international projects. His background in design and construction, paired with years of experience in digital marketing and real estate, gives his clients a unique advantage.
Now a proud member of the Tres Amigos Realty Group team, Mike helps investors, retirees, and families find their perfect piece of paradise. Whether you are searching for a vacation rental, a forever home, or an income-generating property, Mike brings the insight and dedication to make it happen.
A Playa Hermosa local, husband, father, and nature lover, Mike lives the Pura Vida lifestyle every day—and loves helping others so they can do the same.
