Background

About Frederick Ruge

I connect capital with purpose-driven real estate — blending local insight, development strategy, and a long-term commitment to sustainability. Based in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, I work as a luxury property advisor with Sotheby’s International Realty, guiding high-net-worth clients through the acquisition, sale, and repositioning of exceptional assets, from ocean-view homes to boutique hospitality and development-ready land. My background in boutique hospitality — developing and managing unique properties across Latin America — gives me a practical understanding of operations, guest experience, and design-led value creation. I apply this lens to both transactions and broader project strategy. I hold a Global Master’s in Real Estate Development from IE University (best student, best capstone project), and I’m the founder of BOA Impact Business Lab — a platform that has increasingly focused on real estate projects, supporting ventures that align profit, purpose, and place, from concept through execution. Across every project, I aim to create outcomes that are financially sound, thoughtfully designed, and rooted in long-term impact.
