About Derick Stager

Derick Stager is a driven professional whose life has been shaped by leadership, athletics, business, faith, and an unwavering passion for helping others succeed. From a young age, Derick was immersed in a culture of competition and perseverance. Growing up in a family of accomplished athletes, he learned early on the importance of discipline, teamwork, and commitment to excellence. Both of his sisters went on to play softball at Florida State University, while Derick himself excelled as a multi-sport athlete in baseball and football. Beyond athletics and business, Dericks faith in God has been a guiding force in his life, shaping his character, values, and dedication to serving others. His belief provides him with strength, perspective, and purpose, influencing the way he leads and the way he strives to make a positive impact on those around him. As a high school team captain, Derick stood out not only for his performance on the field but also for his ability to inspire and lead others. His athletic career reached a milestone when he was drafted by the New York Yankees directly out of high school - a testament to his talent, discipline, and determination. Yet, rather than turning professional immediately, Derick made a deliberate choice to further his education and personal growth. He pursued collegiate baseball, serving as team captain and catcher for three years, where he gained invaluable lessons in leadership, resilience, and responsibility. Derick graduated with a degree in Business Management, blending his competitive athletic background with a strong academic foundation. After college, he transitioned into the business world, working alongside his father, a seasoned CEO with decades of success in leading multiple brands. This mentorship provided Derick with firsthand experience in business strategy, operations, and the art of building trust through integrity and vision. These lessons helped shape his belief that true leadership is not about personal recognition, but about creating opportunities for others to thrive. While athletics and business provided the foundation for his personal and professional growth, Derick discovered his true passion in real estate. Inspired by his sisters success in the U.S. market and fueled by his own love for helping people, he set his sights on Costa Ricas dynamic real estate landscape. Relocating to Esterillos, a vibrant coastal community, he found 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, communities, and long-term visions of home. Derick approaches real estate with the same focus and drive that defined his athletic career. His commitment to clients goes beyond transactions; he views each relationship as an opportunity to guide, educate, and support others as they navigate one of lifes most important decisions. For him, success is measured not only in sales or accolades but in the satisfaction of seeing others achieve their goals. Beyond his professional life, Derick continues to embrace competition and personal growth through golf. An avid player and active member of the Los Suenos Golf Club at the Marriott, he is working toward competing at the semi-professional level. For Derick, golf represents more than a sport - it mirrors the patience, strategy, and relentless pursuit of improvement that he brings into every area of his life. Looking forward, Derick envisions building a family and deepening his roots in Costa Rica, contributing not only to the real estate industry but also to the community he proudly calls home. He finds great joy in giving back through his church, where he helps coach a kids baseball team, mentoring young athletes and teaching them lessons of discipline, teamwork, and faith both on and off the field. Whether on the field, in the boardroom, or in the real estate market, Dericks journey has always been defined by hard work, leadership, and an enduring passion for making a difference in the lives of others. With a foundation built on resilience, leadership, and a family legacy of success, Derick Stager is determined to make a lasting impact in Costa Ricas real estate market - helping people discover their own version of paradise.
