About Dennis & Gerardo

Where La Pura Vida
Meets La Dolce Vita

“Real estate has never been simply about transactions. It’s about connection — understanding people, listening deeply, and helping them discover not only a home but a sense of belonging.”

We Find Joy in Every Corner of the World

Gerardo and Dennis have built their lives around a simple but profound philosophy — one rooted in first principles: honesty, integrity, professionalism, respect, and a shared sense of adventure. These aren’t just business ideals; they are the foundation of how we live, work, and move through the world.

We live together, work together, and play together — guided by curiosity and gratitude for life’s endless possibilities. The world, for us, truly is our oyster. Whether trekking through the Costa Rican rainforest, relaxing on volcanic-sand beaches, scaling Alpine peaks in Switzerland, exploring ancient ruins in Rome or Athens, or sharing a humble meal in a grandmother’s kitchen in Oaxaca, we find joy in every corner of the world.

For us, luxury is not about glitz or excess — it’s a state of mind. True luxury is having the freedom and health to savor life’s moments fully; it’s about meaningful connection, time well spent, and experiences that nourish both the body and soul.

Our philosophy is that business and life should flow seamlessly — without friction, and always with joy. Our approach to real estate mirrors our approach to travel: it begins with a dream, followed by thoughtful research, attention to detail, and a commitment to excellence. We curate every client experience with the same white-glove care we bring to planning our own journeys — identifying what truly matters, then crafting something remarkable around it.

We take our work seriously, but never ourselves too seriously. There’s laughter, candor, and conversation woven into everything we do. We believe that being genuine — showing our humor, our humanity, and even our differences — builds far more trust than any polished presentation ever could.

Here’s to a life well lived - one filled with curiosity, purpose, and connection. A life where la pura vida and la dolce vita meet - the true pinnacle of living.

Meet Dennis

Born in Florida and shaped by a lifelong curiosity for culture, architecture, and design, Dennis has always seen the world through a lens of possibility. From exploring the grand estates of Europe to the mountain villages of Latin America, his travels refined a global sense of style and an appreciation for the way architecture shapes experience.

After visiting Costa Rica over two decades ago, Dennis found what he had long been seeking — a place where beauty, balance, and authenticity coexist naturally. Settling in Atenas, he channeled his passion for people and property into a career built on integrity, professionalism, and genuine connection.

Fluent in both English and Spanish, Dennis bridges cultures with ease, allowing him to communicate clearly and effectively with clients from around the world. Today, he is known not just for his expertise in luxury real estate, but for his thoughtful approach to life and work. Clients describe him as insightful, intuitive, and deeply invested — a trusted advisor who understands that every home tells a story.

Meet Gerardo

A native of Costa Rica with deep roots in the Central Valley, Gerardo González-Porras embodies the essence of pura vida — genuine, grounded, and full of heart. With a background in business and a lifelong connection to the region, he offers clients an insider’s understanding of local culture, community, and the art of living well in Costa Rica.

Fluent in both Spanish and English, Gerardo bridges local authenticity with international perspective. His natural warmth, quick wit, and approachable charm make him instantly memorable — he’s as comfortable negotiating a complex sale as he is hosting a dinner filled with laughter and music. Clients often describe him as the heartbeat of any gathering: joyful, sincere, and endlessly welcoming.

Beneath that playful spirit lies a deep professionalism and commitment to excellence. Gerardo guides every client with care, honesty, and precision, believing that real estate is more than the business of property — it’s about helping people find harmony, beauty, and belonging in their lives.
