There are two main real estate organizations in Costa Rica: CRGAR (Costa Rica Global Association of Realtors<ref>[http://crgar.com/ Costa Rica Global Association of Realtors]</ref>), and CCCBR (Costa Rican Chamber of Commerce for Real Estate).<ref>[https://camara.cr Costa Rican Chamber of Commerce for Real Estate]</ref> Of these two associations only CRGAR has an MLS system<ref>[https://www.costaricarealestatemls.com CRGAR MLS]</ref> in place.

CRGAR is associated with the NAR<ref>[https://www.nar.realtor/intlnet.nsf/pages/CostaRicaCRGAR National Association of Realtors]</ref> (a US based National Association of Realtors).  According to the CRGAR website, as of October 2019 they have just over 120 individual agent members and sponsors.<ref>[http://crgar.com/directory CRGAR Members]</ref>

The actual number of real estate agents in Costa Rica is unknown. Agents are not required under the law to meet any minimal licensing standards nor are they required to join any association in order to become a realtor.  Anyone can be an agent without pre-qualification.

A few private real estate companies have set up their own MLS systems, some claiming to be the only official MLS, but these are not directly affiliated with any Costa Rica based real estate associations.
