Any decent agent will be able to put you in contact with their previous customers for a reference. This is a good place to start. Avoid agents that do not have office, real estate licenses or any references.

You need to be very careful when dealing with agents in the area, but I have developed some very trustworthy contacts and I can help you navigate through the minefield.

I bought my apartment after seeing a friends apartment by them. Mine is in Punta Pacific & I am very happy, great layout, finishings and social areas. I don't have any complaints, even have great neighbors. They have properties available all over Panama including Costa del Este & San Fransisco. www.pacificdeveloperspanama.com Diego, have a look at Pacific Developers properties.

It is the same path whether we are talking about Cartagena, San Juan or Rome. Of course, Rome is the perfect example because it has gone so well and because it is so authentic. Casco Viejo has a lot to learn from it, but in its own scale and with Panama´s advantages in the Central American region there isn´t a reason why it couldn´t walk the same walk. Of course, as you point out, it is all a matter of scale and proportion. But the best of Casco Viejo isn´t that it is a pretty place. It is a historic city, unique, protected, at a human scale, with more than 200 years of history and a huge potential on developing value through many angles. It takes a lot more than being pretty to have long term appreciation! =) Casco is my focus, so I´m sorry I can´t help you out in San Francisco, et.

I mean, Casco Antiguo is really pretty, dont get me wrong, but it seems a little out there to compare it with Rome... Anyways, I wanted to know about the price regarding the city, like San Francisco, Punta Paitilla, Costa del Este, etc. Can you help me with this :)?

You can find beautifully constructed condos or well priced older houses that just need a bit of a face lift. You just need to shop around to find the best deal. I found a good agent via www.real-estate.com.pa that offered low price apartments which I rent.

It may be a good investment down the road. The government is stable enough that it is not a worry.
