Originally from Brampton, Ontario, Canada, Theo Veenstra brings a unique and adventurous spirit to the Costa Rican real estate market. With a real estate background starting in the picturesque cottage country of Muskoka — where he successfully helped both seasonal families and retirees navigate their property dreams — Theo has long understood that real estate is more than just buying or selling homes. It’s about helping people with a piece of their life.
Theo first visited Costa Rica in 2008 and was instantly captivated. After an unforgettable overland road trip from Canada to Costa Rica in 2012, he decided to make the move permanent, becoming a Costa Rican resident by 2014. Today, Theo enjoys full Costa Rican citizenship living full-time in the beach town of Playas del Coco, embracing the Pura Vida lifestyle while serving clients throughout the stunning Papagayo Gulf region.
With 25 years of real estate experience and a deep appreciation for Costa Rica’s rich culture, Theo doesn’t just sell property — he shares the authentic experience of living in Costa Rica. Having traveled extensively throughout the country, from the mountains of Cartago to the sugar cane towns like Pitahaya, he’s immersed himself in local communities, often making lifelong memories in places most visitors never see. His stories — whether teaching English in Coco, spending time traveling the mountains, or discovering hidden gems — reflect a genuine connection to the country and its people.
Theo's passion for real estate is matched by his commitment to professionalism. He is proud to be a part of Tres Amigos Realty Group — one of the most respected and experienced real estate teams in Guanacaste. With direct access to a powerful network of professionals, an expansive property database, and unmatched market insight, Theo ensures his clients benefit from exceptional support and trustworthy guidance.
Whether you're looking for a beachfront condo, ocean view retreat, or an investment property, Theo brings seasoned expertise, cultural awareness, and a friendly, down-to-earth approach. He understands the excitement and uncertainty of making a move to Costa Rica and is dedicated to helping clients make confident, informed decisions — always with integrity and a personal touch.
For Theo, real estate in Costa Rica is more than business — it’s about sharing a lifestyle, creating lasting connections, and helping others find their own version of paradise.
