Move to Nicaragua, softly. We are the team that lands you.
Your soft landing
in Nicaragua.
Five years ago we moved to San Juan del Sur with one suitcase and a thousand questions. Now we help families like yours land — residency, a rental, getting your shipping container into the country, the right attorney, the right doctor, the WhatsApp number that actually answers on a Sunday.
What we help with
The things you'd ask a friend who lives here
Eight services, one team, every local partner already vetted. Moving next month or just curious for now — we make the messy parts simple, and we tell you when something isn't worth doing.
Property
Rent for six months before you buy a thing. When you're ready, we'll introduce you to the broker we use ourselves — no listing fees to us, ever.
See homes
Legal & residency
Pensionado, investor residency, LLC setup. We know which lawyer to call so the paperwork doesn't sit in a drawer for nine months.

Shipping
We get your stuff to Nicaragua from wherever it is — air at $8/lb, sea at $3/lb. Track it the whole way, we clear customs, and you collect it at our Managua, Tola, or San Juan del Sur pickup point. Free Miami forwarding address if you want one.

Insurance
Home, auto, business, life — the four policies expats actually need. One licensed local partner, quotes back to you in English within 48 hours.

Transport & rentals
Managua airport pickup, a car the day you land ($45/day, SUVs on weekends), shuttles to anywhere we'd take our own family.
Book a ride
Dental tourism
Implants, crowns, full-mouth work — for a third of U.S. prices. We vet the clinic, coordinate the appointments, and book you a beach house in between visits.
See the trip
Weddings
Beach, jungle, cathedral, volcano, or lake — five very different days, all within two hours of each other. We've helped 40+ couples pull it off.
Tell us your date
Tours & fishing
Bilingual guides we've fished with for years. Volcano hikes, surf lessons, sportfishing — the spots we take our own kids to, not the tour-bus ones.

How it works
Three steps, then we stay in your phone
Most families start with one WhatsApp. By the time they've moved, we've traded a hundred messages — sometimes daily for months. We stick around until the day you say you're good. Most never do.
Say hello
Send a WhatsApp. We answer in real time, ask what you're actually trying to do, and tell you straight whether we're the right team — or hand you the name of someone better. No call until you ask for one.
Get a plan
We map out the whole move — residency, a rental, your shipping container, insurance — in the order it has to happen. You'll know what costs what, what's next, and what can wait.
Land softly
We coordinate the lawyer, the broker, the contractor, the driver. You step off the plane in Managua, we hand you the keys to a rental that already has wifi, and we're a WhatsApp away the day the dryer breaks.
Where we know best
Five very different Nicaraguas. Pick yours.
Nicaragua isn't one place. A walkable beach town, a luxury surf coast, two colonial cities, and a volcanic island — each attracts a different kind of person. We'll help you visit the two that fit before you sign anything.
San Juan del Sur
Walkable beach town, ~20K residents, an established expat community on the Pacific. Good if you want neighbors who speak English and a five-minute walk to the surf.
Tola
Gated communities, luxury resorts, world-class waves. Good if your budget is in dollars and you want amenities, security, and Playa Colorado at sunrise.
Granada
Cobblestone streets, café-lined plazas, the oldest colonial city in the Americas. Good if you prefer history to surfboards and a real downtown over the beach.
León
University town, mural-covered streets, volcano boarding on Cerro Negro. Good if you want a younger, scrappier, less polished version of Granada.
Ometepe
Two volcanoes, an island in the middle of a lake, an off-grid eco-community. Good if you've always wanted to grow your own food and the ferry schedule doesn't scare you.
Why we’re here
The neighbors who pick up the phone
Some of us came to San Juan del Sur for a two-week visit. Five years later we're still here — raising kids on the beach, arguing about the best coffee at El Timón, and answering the same questions we wished someone had answered for us. Which lawyer is honest. Whether you really need an SUV. How to ship a dog. Where the doctor speaks English. The things friends tell each other.
By the numbers
You don't know us yet. Here's the receipts.

The people who already made the leap
We landed in Managua with two cats, four suitcases, and no Spanish. They had our rental, our insurance, our residency paperwork in motion, and a driver waiting at arrivals. Six months in we still WhatsApp them weekly — last week it was about a leaky water heater.
I came down for $45K of dental work that would have cost $135K back home. They booked the clinic, the beach house between appointments, and the dinner reservations. A year later I came back and bought a place a block from the ocean. None of it would have happened without them.
Start with a hello.
Send one WhatsApp. A real person on our team answers — usually within an hour, sometimes within five minutes. No email funnel. No sales call until you ask for one. Just a conversation with someone who moved here too and remembers what it felt like.
