About Your Relocation Expert
I Moved to Costa Rica.
I Help Others Do the Same.
Hi, I'm Sarah. I made the leap to Costa Rica in 2015, and like most people, I had no idea how complicated — and how beautiful — it would turn out to be. I spent months navigating visa requirements, finding trustworthy landlords, figuring out the healthcare system, and learning what to expect in a new culture.
That experience became the foundation for RelocateNow. What started as one person's passion has grown into a dedicated team of relocation specialists — each one committed to making your move seamless, supported, and stress-free.
Whether you're moving in 3 months or just starting to dream, our team is here to make Costa Rica feel possible — not overwhelming. You're not working with a one-woman show. You're working with a full team that has your back.

Real stories from real people who relocated to Costa Rica with RelocateNow.
“Working with Sarah Elena and her team has been nothing short of an amazing experience. When we decided to make the move to CR, we had no idea where to start — then I found Sarah. I booked a free call and was so impressed with her expertise that it was an EASY yes for us. There were so many things we would have missed had we decided to do this solo. Sarah and the team truly went ABOVE AND BEYOND. We are forever grateful. We definitely couldn't have done this without you!!!”
The Butlers
Moving to Costa Rica
“I just got off a call with Agustina to go over our Pre-Arrival Meeting. The call was fantastic — she walked us through every item necessary to make sure our arrival would go seamlessly. I want to thank you for what your doing with your company. It's truly a blessing to have the level of support that you all provide. You'll never know how you're setting your clients at ease for such a big move.”
Pre-Arrival Client
Moving to San Ramon Sur
“Still can't believe we are actually here and everything has been sooooo easy! You definitely prepared us and we had answers for every bump along the way. All 4 cats made it and they love it here too! I can not thank you enough for giving us the support and strength to do this. It made our dream possible and painless!”
Client Family
Arrived in Costa Rica
“After 1 scouting trip and numerous one-on-one video chats with her, she's already saved us enough to cover the cost of her services. She does a lot of the work herself, but she branches out to professionals in their fields that she's vetted ahead of time. At this point in our own journey, even if she dropped us like a hot potato, I feel like I have gotten good value already.”
