Meet Derick Stager

Derick Stager, better known as “Sunshine,” is a real estate agent specializing in Costa Rica’s Pacific Coast. His nickname comes from his resemblance to the iconic character Sunshine from Remember the Titans, especially his signature long blond hair and laid-back personality. With local knowledge and a passion for the Costa Rican lifestyle, Sunshine helps clients find exceptional properties and their own piece of Pura Vida.

His Journey

A Foundation of Trust, Respect and Confidence.

Derick Stager is a driven professional whose life has been shaped by leadership, athletics, business, faith, and an unwavering passion for helping others succeed. Growing up in a family of accomplished athletes, Derick learned early the importance of discipline, teamwork, and commitment to excellence. Both of his sisters played softball at Florida State University, while he excelled as a multi-sport athlete in baseball and football. He served as a high school team captain and was drafted by the New York Yankeesdirectly out of high school — a testament to his talent and determination. Instead of turning professional immediately, Derick chose to pursue collegiate baseball, serving three years as team captain and catcher while earning a degree in Business Management. After college, he worked alongside his father, a seasoned CEO, gaining experience in leadership, business strategy, and the importance of integrity and vision. Inspired by his sisters’ success in the U.S. market and fueled by his passion for helping others, Derick found his true calling in real estate. Relocating to Esterillos, he discovered not only a place to live, but a place to build his future.

Today, Derick combines his competitive spirit, disciplined mindset, and people-first philosophy to help clients discover more than just properties — he helps them find lifestyles and long-term visions of home. His faith in God continues to guide his character, leadership, and dedication to serving others. Whether on the field or in the real estate market, Derick is committed to making a lasting impact — helping people discover their own version of paradise.

Pura Vida.
