Clients from around the world have bought, sold, and built on Nicaragua’s Pacific coast with us.

Since 2014 we’ve guided hundreds of buyers and sellers through transactions in San Juan del Sur and Tola — first-time international owners, investors, families relocating, and owners selling from abroad. Every testimonial below is a real client, in their own words. Read them, watch their video stories, and if you’d like to speak with a past client directly before you buy or sell, just ask — we’ll make the introduction. Several of them bought or sold without setting foot in our office — here’s how a remote closing works in practice.

Aaron & Julie Menitoff

Bought three properties and built Buddha Roc Hotel, Playa Maderas, 2017Leslie made our search for the perfect property to create our hotel a seamless experience. We made several trips to Nicaragua and each time our itineraries were full with dozens of properties in different regions of the country that we vetted together prior to visiting. We would not have had the confidence to move forward with our investment without Leslie's guidance and expertise. Even after the sale, we continue to rely on Leslie for general advice on all things Nicaragua and always look forward to getting together with him and his amazing family every time we visit.

Chuck Smith

Sold the estate that became part of Buddha Roc, 2017Leslie is a consummate expert realtor, a great communicator, a nice guy, and very easy to work with. Plus, and most importantly, he gets results. My home sale was a very smooth transaction and absolutely trouble free. I truly cannot recommend him enough!

Eugene & Mary Gallagher

Bought two homes in San Juan del Sur in 2017; later sold both with usLeslie did a great job for us when we bought our beach condo and our single home in Colinas de Miramar in San Juan del Sur. He was very thorough and easily facilitated the transaction - seeing us through the entire process, start to finish. Leslie was there at all stages from showing us the property to coordinating with the sellers to concluding with the closing process. He also followed up with us after both sales and kept in touch. We would highly recommend him for any real estate transaction.

Tony Ardy

Bought Soma Surf Resort, Tola, 2018Leslie and Belkys were my first contact in Nicaragua and they were a great influence in my decision making when it came to where to invest in Nicaragua and purchase my first Hotel. Leslie and Belkys were always there to answer my phone calls whenever I needed advise even after the closing. They also helped me with other contacts that I needed to set up my company and for all other needs as a new-comer to Nicaragua. It was pleasure working with them and I will continue to use their services and advise for all my other real-state needs.

Muffadal Sayawala

Bought Casa Oro and other properties in San Juan del Sur, since 2016I have worked directly with Leslie and Belkys on 5 transactions in Nicaragua on both sides of the table, including buying and selling properties and businesses. I have also sought advice from the Invest Nicaragua team on a multitude of other business dealings and investments here in Nicaragua. When in doubt, when I'm confused, when I'm frustrated, when I'm looking to evaluate the viability of investments and think through things, Leslie is the first person I visit. I continue choosing to work with the Invest Nicaragua team because they are the most curious, thorough, honest, thoughtful, and hardworking team on the block. If you're thinking about investing in Nicaragua or purchasing property in Nicaragua, look no further, this is the guy you want in your corner.

Aine & Cormac

Bought the land for Eden on La Chocolata in 2018; later sold with usLeslie assisted us to find the ideal piece of land in Nicaragua. On giving Leslie our criteria we didn't waste time visiting properties that didn't fit our needs, viewing was always a pleasure with Leslie with his very kind & knowledgeable manner. On finding the property Leslie made the sale process seamless & helped us to settle in very well. Leslie also sold this property for us a few years later within 5 months of listing the property, making the whole experience run very smoothly. I would highly recommend Leslie to anyone who is looking to buy in Nicaragua.

Hugh Sandys

Bought a home near Playa Maderas in 2017; later sold with usIn 2017, my girlfriend Nina and I embarked on a journey down to Nicaragua by car, looking to buy a piece of land or a house. While in Guatemala, we saw Leslie's listing for the house that would eventually become ours. Now admittedly, we didn't fully know what we were getting ourselves into, buying a house in the jungle that was essentially uninhabitable without a proper amount of work being done to it first, but Leslie was there for us through the entire process. Even months after we had purchased the house, Leslie would check in on us, make sure we could find supplies, workers and the help that we needed. I honestly don't know what we would have done without him, and I'm sure there were times when we drove him a little crazy. Leslie is not just an excellent real estate agent, but he's simply an excellent human. He could have wiped his hands clean of us once the deal was done, but he stuck with us through thick and thin to make sure that we were adjusting properly and to just be our friend. Eventually, the investment became a bit too much for us, and we decided to sell the house that we had spent so much time and energy refurbishing, and when we needed Leslie's assistance, he was right there for us. It was never our intention to flip our house, but with Leslie's help and intimate knowledge of the community in San Juan del Sur, we were able to sell it for a profit. I 100% put my full faith in him, and we still stay in touch and check in with each other even though I live back in California full time.
