Meet our dynamic duo!


Ellie Watland, a Minnesota native (grew up not far from Lake Wobegon), came to Costa Rica to escape the cold. She graduated from St. Olaf College and has an M.A. in Organizational Leadership from the College of St. Catherine. Her U.S. background includes experience in non-profit management and mediation. She taught English in corporations in Costa Rica, but now works in real estate full time. Ellie’s enthusiasm about Costa Rica is contagious and she looks forward to helping you make a “connection” with the country, whether purchasing a home, condo, lot, business or investment property. 


Frank Scott, a Georgia native, grew up in Florida and graduated from the University of Florida. On his first visit to Costa Rica, friendly “Ticos” and the country’s culture convinced him that this was the place for him to live and work. Frank has more than 21 years of real estate experience, including income property sales, real estate development (12 years) and proprietorship of Scottco Real Estate Services. Frank enjoys flying (as a private pilot) and volunteering in the U.S. and Latin America. Frank is eager to help you find the property that is “just right” for you.
