History of Compass Group International

Compass Group International evolved from the success of Compass Properties, a real estate marketing and consulting firm started in Costa Rica in early 2004. In two years, Compass Properties developed into the leading real estate broker in the Mid-Pacific region of Costa Rica. After working extensively with developers in some of the most sought-after developments in Costa Rica, Compass Properties' management sensed that the needs of its developer partners extended beyond just locating buyers. Developers needed support with land acquisitions, developing a unique and competitive community, locating financing, and building a world-class sales and marketing organization that can attract buyers and close the sale. Compass Group International was incorporated to help developers address these needs and build the capacity of their own organizations to deliver their vision to international marketplace.
