Surf Vacation Homes
Owner · User
Co-own a beach villa or surf condo with two or three partners. Use it on your weeks, rent it the rest — lower the cost without giving up the dream.
Surf Real Estate Partnerships
Partner with International Surf Properties to co-own, fund, build and sell surf property in the world’s best wave markets — Costa Rica, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Mexico, Indonesia, Portugal and beyond. Investors, working partners, agents, brokers and referral partners all start here.
/01 — Why partnerships exist
Partner with International Surf Properties
Most surf real estate deals stall for one of two reasons: the capital is there but the local expertise is not, or the project is ready but the funding is not. ISP is the hub that closes that gap — connecting visionary capital with premier ocean-centric real estate, and pairing owners with the operators, builders and agents who know the break, the market and the paperwork.
For investors
A curated pipeline of surf-front homes, resorts and ground-up projects, matched to your capital, timeline and appetite for risk.
For owners & developers
Bring in the funding, the on-site operator or the sales talent your beachfront project needs to get built and stay full.
/02 — Ways to team up
Four ways to partner on surf real estate
Pick the structure that fits your goal, your capital and your timeline. Every ISP partnership is scoped in writing before anyone signs.
Surf Resorts & Camps
Operator · Investor
Buy into an operating surf resort or camp as the absentee owner, the working partner on-site, or split the role with a trusted operator.
Surf-Business Projects
Capital · Build
Ground-up developments, surf schools and retreats — pairing capital with construction, marketing or operations skill.
Skill-Based Matches
Expertise
Sometimes the gap is not money but expertise. Pair with a partner who knows the local market, the build, the ops or the sales playbook.
/03 — Know the difference
Join as a surf real estate agent, broker or referral partner
Three ways to work with International Surf Properties. Here is what sets them apart — and which one fits you.
Surf real estate agent
A licensed professional who lists and represents surf properties directly with buyers and sellers.
- Holds an active real estate license
- Lists, shows and markets surf property
- Represents both sides of a deal
Broker
A senior licensee who can run a brokerage, oversee agents and co-list inventory across surf markets.
- Higher-level license than an agent
- Can manage agents and close deals
- Opens ISP into new surf markets
Referral partner
No license, no listings — you simply introduce buyers and sellers from your network to ISP.
- Open to anyone with a network
- Refer contacts and their needs
- Earn a 25% referral fee
