Founded in Paris in 1949, FIABCI links professionals in the real-estate industry in a multi-lingual, multi-cultural, multi-disciplinary network conducting business in countries around the world. The only international real-estate organization with representation in the United Nations, FIABCI is considered by real-estate professionals and those in affiliated industries to be the leading international real-estate association in the world.

In 1997, Costa Rica Luxury Estates closed a multi-million-dollar deal by selling a 123-acre farm near the International Airport, to INTEL Corporation to install its Latin American Regional operations. This single transaction changed the future of the whole country, turning the eyes of foreign investors toward Costa Rica with a different vision, and transforming its typically agricultural economy to an economy oriented to high technology and tourism.
