Are you looking to invest in real estate in Central America, buy a house in Costa Rica, or purchase land in Panama? Brymmo supports European and international buyers at every stage — property search, legal procedures, tax optimization, and on-site logistics.
From our base in Switzerland, we have forged strong ties with the real estate markets in Costa Rica and Panama. Our mission: to make these destinations accessible to European and international buyers by offering them not only the best properties, but also the tools they need to understand, make decisions, and take action with confidence.
At Brymmo, we believe that changing your lifestyle or diversifying your assets abroad shouldn’t be a solitary journey. We’re here every step of the way.
If, like us, you’re concerned about the dehumanization of services, step inside BRYMMO Real Estate—you’ve come to the right place! A dedicated, attentive point of contact, always available to appraise, sell, buy, rent, or manage your property with complete confidence.
The Costa Rican and Panamanian markets follow their own logic. I analyse recent transactions, regional dynamics and international buyer expectations to set a credible price — neither too low nor out of range.
I don’t pass along mere browsers. Every potential buyer is vetted — financial capacity, seriousness of intent, realistic timeline. Negotiation is conducted in line with local practices, in coordination with my network of attorneys specialised in Costa Rican and Panamanian real estate law.
Buying in Costa Rica or Panama from Europe means navigating two legal systems, two tax realities and a level of logistics that few people truly master. Brymmo has built a network of local experts so you only have to manage one thing: your decision.
You provide us with basic information about your property via the form or during an initial conversation.
We review the characteristics of your property and the available documents.
We compare your property with recent transactions and similar properties in your area.
You receive a clear and detailed estimate of your property’s value.
From your first question to the keys in hand — or the signed deed of sale.
Distance doesn't mean opacity. You are kept informed at every stage, in real time.
Years spent navigating these markets, understanding their rules and building a trusted network within them.
Investing abroad means placing your trust in someone. That someone is Jonathan — available, straightforward and personally invested in your success.
A successful real estate transaction starts with a satisfied customer who enjoyed the experience without feeling the pressures, stress, doubts, or uncertainties. Read their testimonials.
In March 2025, we entrusted the sale of our apartment to a large Swiss agency, renowned for its technical expertise. For six months, more than fifty viewings took place, without resulting in a sale. Worse still: the only serious offer fell through due to the agent’s blatant lack of understanding of our case.
No follow-up, no work on leads, top-down communication, and a minimalist strategy: publish an ad, share a few photos, then wait. A “wait and see” approach that, over the months, exhausted the market, burned out potential contacts, and created an atmosphere of disappointment.
At the end of this pseudo-exclusivity agreement – which, in reality, didn’t exist according to the Swiss Code of Obligations – we were left with an overexposed property, a troubled history, and plummeting morale. It became clear that a radical change was needed.
Recommended by a trusted acquaintance, Jonathan took over the project in September 2025. He arrived in a challenging situation: six months of uncontrolled visibility, a pool of stale leads, and wary buyers. Yet, from our very first conversation, his methodology was a radical departure from anything we had seen before.
He began by precisely defining the ideal buyer profile, in order to focus efforts on truly relevant profiles. He then activated his network, targeting, among others, local sports federations—an unexpected but remarkably effective approach given the property’s surroundings.
On the marketing side, Jonathan deployed a comprehensive strategy:
A real action plan, not just an automated ad posting.
He also advised us to lower the price judiciously, in line with the market and perfectly aligned with our psychological threshold. Then, he made us a clear promise: “I’ll sell your apartment in fewer than ten viewings.”
This isn’t a boast; it’s a method. Jonathan rigorously screens potential buyers and preemptively eliminates unmotivated profiles. The result: out of six viewings, only one was a genuine “tourist.”
By the second viewing, a serious offer seemed to be taking shape, but the buyer hesitated for a legitimate reason. Jonathan didn’t let up, continued the follow-up, and finally brought in the sixth viewer: a young couple from Lausanne who perfectly matched the established profile. Clear needs, solid finances, and a strong match with the property.
One viewing.
The next day: a perfect offer, within our conditions, without tough negotiations or wasted time.
Promise kept. File secured. Sale completed. Trust restored.
Jonathan didn’t just “do his job.” He truly committed himself. His proactive approach, rigorous lead screening, and follow-through transformed a deadlock into a resounding success.
After six months of stagnation, he achieved in a few weeks what others had failed to do. No empty sales pitches, no empty promises. Just hard work, a methodical approach, and a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction.
No assistant, no delegation. Jonathan manages every mandate from start to finish — because a real estate project abroad leaves no room for misunderstandings or intermediaries who don't know the market.
Costa Rica and Panama are not interchangeable markets. Each country has its own rules, its high-potential zones, its pitfalls to avoid. Jonathan is on the ground regularly, knows the local players and reads market shifts before they become obvious to outsiders.
Drone footage, professional photography, cinematic video, 3D virtual tour: because your buyers often make their decision from the other side of the world, the quality of the visuals is not optional.
Jonathan won't tell you what you want to hear. He'll tell you what you need to know — about the price, the market, the realistic timelines. It's this honesty that builds relationships that last beyond a single transaction.
