Michael Murphy

Luxury & Investment Real Estate Broker | Southern Costa Rica | 24-Year Global Experience

I help clients invest in more than property — I help them invest in extraordinary places and sustainable futures.

For over two decades, I built my career in Chicago’s competitive real estate market, representing global buyers and developers through Sotheby’s International Realty and Related Companies. Today, as a full-time resident of Costa Rica and part of the Coldwell Banker Global Luxury team, I specialize in titled beachfront estates, architecturally significant homes, and high-performing investment properties across the Southern Zone — including Escaleras, Dominical, Uvita, Ojochal, and the Osa Peninsula.

My clients include both high-net-worth individuals and everyday investors seeking lifestyle-driven opportunities — from rental income and remote-work living to long-term land appreciation and conservation impact. This balance of luxury and investment insight allows me to guide clients through every layer of ownership in Costa Rica, from titled land and development potential to sustainability programs like the PSA conservation incentive.

Whether you’re looking for a luxury residence, a second home, or an income-producing retreat, I bring market strategy, discretion, and deep local knowledge to every transaction — helping you make an investment that’s as purposeful as it is profitable.

Let’s explore what’s rare — and protect what’s extraordinary.
