CEO / Broker / Owner

Jose Mario Alvarado

José Mario Alvarado is a driven entrepreneur and industry leader in Costa Rica's residential real estate market, with an unwavering passion for marketing, sales, and helping people find a property that truly feels like home. As the CEO and Founder of NAKMA Realty, he has built an agency grounded in trust, market intelligence, and genuine care for every client he serves. Born and raised in Costa Rica, José earned a degree in Industrial Engineering from LEAD University. He completed both his primary and secondary education in Costa Rica before beginning his professional career, first stepping into the corporate world before real estate fully captured his attention. Since graduating, José has built a strong foundation in market research and analysis, working alongside brokers, agents, and financial analysts to interpret economic trends and translate complex data into clear, actionable insight for buyers and investors alike. That analytical background, paired with his natural instinct for sales and storytelling, became the blueprint for NAKMA. Since founding the company, José has grown NAKMA into a trusted name for buyers seeking curated, nature rooted properties all across Costa Rica. With nearly four years of dedicated real estate experience, he has guided countless clients through some of the most important decisions of their lives, always with the same philosophy: real estate should feel personal, informed, and honest. Beyond the transactions, José is genuinely passionate about the craft of marketing itself, the strategy, the storytelling, and the creativity it takes to connect the right property with the right person. That passion shows in every property NAKMA represents and every client relationship the agency builds. Today, José continues to lead NAKMA with the same energy that started it all: a belief that Costa Rica offers more than property, it offers a way of life, and that every client deserves a guide who treats their search with genuine care.
