Ladder
What you get
- 1 · 30-day shortlist — Tell me budget, beds, and towns. I’ll send pins that fit — broker coverage plus Off-market · Verified when we have them. If the private pipeline is thin that week, I’ll say so. No fake exclusives.
- 2 · One live review call — Forty-five to sixty minutes. We walk the shortlist together and kill the weak ones before you get attached.
- 3 · Optional listing teardown — Already got a broker link you’re eyeing? Paste it into Check a listing or drop it in the form. Same nearby-Airbnb math as the map, plus my read on whether I’d chase it.
- 4 · What to do next — Pass, watch, step into buy help, co-host later, or walk. I’ll tell you which — not cheerlead a soft pin.
- 5 · Advisory — When capital and timeline are real after Deal Desk: buy-window help — walk pins, attorney intro, offer math, negotiation notes. Your Deal Desk fee credits toward Advisory if you take it next.
- 6 · Close — Buy, JV, or co-host what you bought. That’s the end of the ladder — not another PDF.

FAQ
Common questions
What is Deal Desk?
Thirty days of homes that fit your criteria, one review call, and an optional teardown if you already have a listing. It sits between the free tools and fuller buy help. Apply below — I confirm fit, then invoice.
I don’t have a listing yet — can I still apply?
Yes. Most people who apply are still shopping the map. Budget, beds, and towns are enough. Only send a listing link if you want me to tear one down.
Is the listing map still free?
Yes. Map, Check a listing, checklist — all free. Deal Desk is when you want me in the loop with a deadline. I’m not paywalling public inventory.
Who should apply?
You’ve got capital (or you’re close) and a real 30–90 day look window on the Guanacaste Gold Coast. If Costa Rica is a “someday” tab, stay on the free tools.
How do I pay?
Apply below. I confirm you’re a fit, then send a simple invoice — manual for now. No charge until we both agree.
What if you don’t have Off-market · Verified homes that week?
You still get a ranked broker shortlist and the call. I won’t invent exclusives to fill a quota.
What comes after Deal Desk?
If the numbers and timeline fit: Advisory (buy window; Deal Desk credits toward it), or straight toward buy, JV, or co-host. That’s close help — not another PDF.
Does Deal Desk credit toward Advisory?
Yes. If you move into Advisory after Deal Desk, your Deal Desk fee applies to Advisory — you pay the difference. No credit if you skip Advisory.
