Selling Or Buying
Tightening the laces on his trainer’s before dawn breaks, Jeremy Needs, has become as much a fixture to the region as the hills along the coast that he jogs daily. A Canadian and 27 year veteran of the Papagayo region, Jeremy has learned the nuances of this region’s topography and cultural flow, which secret he is happy to share. “Success here is not traversing the hills but rather following the natural flow with integrity, honesty and hardwork. Assimilation to both the culture and your environment will be the smoothest, most prosperous path.”
With family in tow Jeremy Needs, immigrated to Costa Rica, leaving a profession in education behind but bringing his need to share knowledge. In the early 90’s, his initial connection to the Guanacaste region steered his sights on opening the eyes and opportunities to his fellow countryman working with a Canadian charter company and developing a leisure activity company. All this experience and insight later drove him to realize that although the opportunity here was abundant, established cooperation in the real estate market was still very much a niche market. Teaming up with one of the most recognized and reliable Real Estate companies in the world Jeremy set off to fill this void, establishing the first brokerage in the area with fervent guidelines and firm promises. As the seed to what now has branched out all throughout the beach communities of Guanacaste, this company and idea grew exponentially. With this successful venture, Jeremy wanted to take a more active hands-on approach to put roofs over families heads and eventually paired Pacific Coast Real Estate with it’s partner entity Pacific Coast Construction. Maintaining the same values he had created in real estate gap, Jeremy Needs sought out to ensure that the literal nuts and bolts of housing here were as secure as his word. Focused on the arduous task of creating new building standards, he only found it fair to fully devote his time to creating over sales, allowing his real estate team to venture out on their own.
After years of gaining the reputation as solid builder and salt-of the earth businessman, Jeremy woefully again saw the void in the real estate market. Yet, demand was high and supply plentiful, the market wasn’t balanced, something attributed to quick fixes. Selling and buying had become a process of simply transferring goods for cash, the pivotal part of the equation had been taken out; that these are homes, lives, places where food is shared and children tucked in. Seeing this gap, Jeremy, with his new partner Jerome Leoty, has sought to refresh and rectify the real estate market from Playa Panama to Ocotal.
As with all aspects in Jeremy’s life he employees a sense of patriarcal duty to guide decisions towards the most beneficial outcome. In fact, the chances are if you ask about purchasing property his go to response would be a pensively inquisitive, “Why, what long term benefits do you see in owning here?”, opening up a collaborative conversation rather than pointing to a list of preappointed homes that may not suit your expectations. If you want more than just a house, but a home and a community, Jeremy is your man.
Given his daughter’s homework is done and a call with his boy’s isn’t scheduled, Jeremy would be more than happy to sit back with a beer and take you the process of assimilating into paradise
When you don’t find him jamming out with new friends or lovingly being strangled by one of his three young boy’s dangling from his neck you will notice Jérôme Leoty gleefully pursuing his other passion strategizing the ‘Game of Life’. No, not the board game with the plastic car and pink/blue tabs (though it is likely he will happily sit down for a turn), but the ‘Game of Life’ where he tactfully takes on the challenge of bringing a thought provoking leivity to everyday.
Viewing the world as one epic journey with variable themes, twists and new pages, Jérôme and his family decided to open a new chapter here in Guanacaste four years ago. Leaving the hectic urbane parisian lifestyle behind them and plotting out their new adventure in the natural wonders of Costa Rica, they found to be an occasional daunting but ultimately rewarding challenge.
Yearning to draft from his own experiences both past and present, his willingness to share his stories and handout wisdom, is only seconded by his ability to absorb others. After sitting down to a drink with him you will find an hour has passed and with it a plethora of information and new acquaintances. To draw from Malcolm Gladwell, Jérôme is a connector, this French and Swiss citizen has an innate ability to bring together the right ideas and people. After many years creating event-guerrilla marketing, his take on real estate is developing an experience drawn and designed from all parties involved; a strategy this out-of-the box tactician gears towards every project.
Even though each of his endeavors are meticulously planned with moments of awe, Jérôme believes the true summit of any deal is the culmination of a long standing relationship. With that said, as fireworks die down and food platters put away you can always depend on him to continue to work with you on anything you may need. Ask him which schools offer French lessons at the gym, over coffee you might need to know, “Are there any dependable electricians?” or feel free to bother him at the end of one of his sets at the bar with a “Which accountant is comfortable with EU bylaws?. Whatever the question or need Jérôme Leoty will always be there to answer or at the very least direct you to someone who can.
