About Me

Hi, My name is Chandler Brownlee. Born and raised in Florida, and a surfer since 1985, I fell in love with Costa Rica on my first surf trip in 1994 after graduating from Vanderbilt University. After gaining a Master’s Degree in Leadership and starting a family including 3 daughters I found my way back to St. Augustine, FL in 2001 where real estate investing became a personal passion and part-time job. I later became licensed in 2004 as a Realtor transacting over 250+ residential and commercial real estate closings, including serving as Broker and Sales & Marketing Director for a waterfront community in Amelia Island. During much of this time I traveled and volunteered with Christian Surfers and surfed destinations like South Africa, France, Australia, Brazil, Mexico, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Panama, Hawaii, and throughout the Caribbean. One thing remained the same after 10+ trips to Costa Rica, it was most special and Pavones was my favorite little beach town!
