Carmen Jimenez

Born in the capital of Costa Rica and raised in Austria, Carmen’s life has always been shaped by cultural diversity and movement. Growing up in Europe sparked her deep passion for languages and global perspectives. She speaks Spanish, English, German, and conversational Italian -allowing her to connect naturally with clients from around the world.

Her professional background blends tourism, marketing, and a Master’s degree in Project Management – a foundation that gives her both creative vision and strong strategic structure. Before fully committing to real estate, Carmen worked in the tourism industry, where she developed a deep understanding of lifestyle-driven destinations and international clientele.

Over the years, she found herself returning to different roles within the real estate world , from management to marketing to sales- until she ultimately embraced it as the career she was meant to pursue.

Carmen was living in Tamarindo and Nosara was her second home. During COVID, as the world paused, Nosara became her safe place- no neighbors, just monkeys, nature, and space to breathe. In that stillness, she realized this was where she wanted to build her life long term.

Since then, she has been part of the Wanderlust Sotheby’s team, representing distinctive properties throughout Guiones, Pelada, Garza, Ostional, and Marbella.

What Carmen loves most about real estate is the people. She is endlessly fascinated by human stories, personalities, and the journeys that bring individuals and families to Nosara. 

Her passion for photography and nature plays a key role in her work. Through her real estate and lifestyle social media (carmeninnosara), she creates content that captures not just properties, but the feeling of living here -the light, the jungle, the ocean, the energy.

Carmen approaches real estate with curiosity, intention, and a deep respect for the land and community she calls home.
