Description

RealEstate-Panama.com is an independent, licensed and bonded, privately held, boutique real estate brokerage based in Panama City offering property listings throughout the 9 provinces of the Republic of Panama. We differentiate ourselves by being and partnering with dully committed independent co-brokers all of whom provide personalized, one-on-one, bi-lingual property viewings.

We inspect and complete the required due diligence on every property listing and those findings are provided on this website as a convenience to prospective buyers and sellers. Complete disclosure of property details is not only mandatory, but it's just plain good business practice and you will notice a refrain from marketing/sales speak in the copywriting and promotion of our properties.

We believe that each property should stand (or sink) on its own merits and focus great attention on providing quality on-site inspections. To this end, we catalog our properties by employing hi-quality photography, hi-definition (HD) video sessions, and digitized survey plans among others, all the while gaining and sharing valuable insight into local and regional real estate markets.

Guarantee

Our guarantee is simple: we will work with other licensed brokers on properties listed elsewhere (ie; on-line, newspaper, print, television, etc), and are available to personally scout* the property on your behalf through our Custom Search service. This will provide us (and you) the ability to determine if the property meets your search criteria or not, and then you decide to reserve a viewing date. In almost all cases we will maximize the day's viewings and you can expect to be shown between 3-6 properties per day.

Pricing

We require of our sellers and co-brokers a written property listing agreement detailing the property specifics, legal ownership details, and price/commission structure, among others. Our service is provided on a commission basis paid for by the seller on properties to which we introduce to the buyer.

Commissions

Commissions in the Republic of Panama are generally 5%, though as is the case in rural properties, a higher commission will be recognized to cover expenses for promoting remote properties. We welcome commissions splits with licensed co-brokers and have working relationships throughout the Republic of Panama with professional brokers who have, through previous experience, demonstrated product knowledge, market insight, punctuality, and professionalism.

The following are 3 of the most common examples of commission splits and our published policy with percentages for each party:

Direct Sale: Sellers Broker (100%)
Co-broker: Sellers Broker (50%), Buyers Broker (50%)
Co-broker with Intermediary Broker: Sellers Broker (40%), Buyers Broker (40%), Intermediary Broker (20%)

Retainers

We understand that prospective buyers are free to work with any broker they choose. Most times the property found on-line sets the broker with whom you will work with. While there is no reliable Multiple Listing Service (MLS) system in the Republic of Panama, RealEstate-Panama.com does have an informal MLS system through years of relationship building. We feel it is important to note that not all brokers throughout the republic maintain the same standards when it comes to your respecting your time, and the experience of learning this fact could cost you time and money unnecessarily. If you share the belief that "time is money", then let us earn your trust through our believe that "our time saves money".

With each rural property we invest considerable time in scouting, photographing, filming, digitizing, and presenting the property with advanced multimedia techniques designed to provide the best possible decision making tools. Because we value and respect your limited time we expect the same courtesy and share the belief that all parties should have a vested interest in ensuring that properties selected for viewing are commensurate with the buyer's conditions for purchase.

As a result, effective January 1, 2010, a minimum refundable retainer of $150.00/day will be requested of prospects for property viewings outside of the Panama City Metro area to cover time and expenses. Clients who purchase a rural property presented within a 6 month period will receive a complete refund of their retainer 7 business days after property closing.
