What Our Clients Says
"I live in Miami and was looking to invest in a property in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua — and I'm so glad I found Daphne at Reliance Realty. From day one, she was incredibly helpful. Buying property in another country can be intimidating, but Daphne made the process smooth and gave me the confidence I needed every step of the way. She truly went above and beyond, even after the purchase was complete. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to invest in Nicaragua — she's the real deal."
Matin Mansouri
Investor
"Daphne Espinoza recently sold my lot in the Big Sky development of Escamequita (San Juan del Sur) and it was an incredible, seamless experience from start to finish. Daphne is professional and prompt, she also knew exactly who to show my lot too and sold it literally the day I gave her the listing (after it had been listed for close to two years with another realtor!!)
She is a joy to work with and I highly recommend if you’re buying or selling in San Juan del Sur to give Daphne a call !"

Many real estate transactions and large purchases are also conducted in USD. However, it’s recommended to carry some Córdobas for small purchases in local markets or rural areas.
