A fourth-generation San Franciscan with a lifelong love of surfing and sailing, Jim Shaw first came to Costa Rica delivering a 64-foot sailboat and never truly left, eventually settling in the Tambor area after meeting his wife while working at the Barcelo Hotel Playa Tambor. With 26 years of experience in Costa Rica real estate, Jim has become a trusted advisor to clients searching for property from Playa Naranjo to Montezuma, drawing on his deep regional knowledge and even his own experience developing a 200-acre farm overlooking Tambor Bay. His combination of local roots, hands-on development experience, and longstanding community ties make him a valuable partner for buyers throughout the Nicoya Peninsula.
