Blood on the Panama Streets - Everything that's wrong with Panama real estate agents and why I'm one of them. The following is a document written by my friend Kent Davis. Kent is a real estate consultant in Panama City and he wrote the words below as a response to his many clients who were interested in details about buying real estate in Panama. Kent is arguably the most reliable agent I know in Panama and although his work clearly conflicts with our interests here at The Panama Report, we thought it was important to post.

These days you'll read everywhere about how the Panama City is changing, exploding, for good or bad, it happens and cannot be stopped.  Nor it should, but what we would prefer it's a steady hand to guide it thru this difficult transition between a colorful town and a truly cosmopolitan city, a way to make it work without sacrificing the soul, that which truly binds and make us love Panama.  The government does indeed have a plan, but it changes according to the whims of the higher bidders and whatever some politic+economical gain can be obtained.

The Panama City condo market will be plagued not only by lists of unsold (or perhaps incomplete) apartment units as well as tumbling prices, but also by an outbreak of unhappy buyers who, faced with dreary options, risk big time losses when/if they try to sell: an alignment of stars that will lead to a steep hike in legal disputes, rulings about which will fall on both sides of the fence.

"So get this," Adam says while we were sitting at the Baltimore Aquarium waiting for the dolphin show to start. "A girl I used to date told me that when she was in kindergarten, some rich kid in her class had a birthday party at the national zoo. When the boy got up in front of his family and friends to take part in an honorary dolphin routine, the trainer accidentally hit the wrong button, releasing the gate to the polar bear tank. Then the polar bear swam up, swiped the kid off the stage, mauled him in the water, and ate him alive before everyone in the audience. Imagine that!"

Real estate and humanitarianism, two worlds that once collided ruthlessly on a moral scale are now showing signs of harmony in Central America's boom-nation of Panama, where the trickle down effect of development is being defined in remarkable new ways. It's long been a notorious business real estate, one characterized by a slash-and-burn mentality: by money-grubbing land developers and cutthroat super agents who'd do anything, and that meant anything, to make a sale.

Nowadays, everyone is pondering more or less the same question: should you invest your money (or in a lot of cases your time) in Panama? It's a topic of conversation you can overhear in the airport, at dinner tables, on the street and even in public bathroom stalls where I once heard a man raving about Trump while taking a dump.

While tempted by the investment often, my parents never sprung for a second or vacation home but rather opted to rent: a choice I was able to identify, even at the age of four, as second-best. We'd gather for down-home weeks at the beach, enjoying family, friends and great weather, but to me there was always an underlying feeling of greed and resentment knowing that the property wasn't really ours. There seemed to be a certain power to owning a second home, which I knew because several of my friends proudly exhibited it.

The hype and puffery of Panama's real estate roar manifested itself last weekend at the City's annual Atlapa convention, an event which visitors will remember less for its investment insight and more for its plethora of beautiful women, free snacks, and complimentary mouse pads embossed with seductive floor plans.

In the past six months, nine of my close friends living in major US cities have been victims of a tight credit squeeze and laid off their jobs at investment banks. And while many have a tough time seeing growth or change in the market in the near future, there does appear to be a light at the end of their tunnel-albeit one shining from a good ways south.

Panama Condos have been the center of attention in Panama City's real estate roar, though with a glut of construction and development, interest for many appears to be not in the current boom cycle but rather in the impending slowdown, which is expected to decrease prices dramatically.

Over the last year and a half, I've had the privilege, or the curse, of working with a wide range of developers in Panama and Costa Rica. I have worked on mega-deals and mom and pop 10-lot subdivisions. I have seen big successes and some monster flops. If you are a developer, or a wannabe developer, there are certain things you need to make sure you do, and don't do, that can spell the difference between a big win and a big waste of time and money.

Ask anyone who's searched, or is searching for Panama rentals in the City and you're likely to get the same sort of face associated with trying to transport a morbidly obese woman by hand: it's a process akin to swallowing a whole pear.

My childhood, in the academic town of Princeton, New Jersey, was characterized-as most childhoods are-by a number of bad influences: among them, urgings from the misfit kids to unite on the eve of Halloween and throw raw eggs at the principals garage.

Most people know exactly when they need a lawyer: when they get sued or arrested or charged with a crime. Many people hope to go through their lives without ever having to deal with one. But there are plenty of people who seek out lawyers all of the time, for advice or guidance. And there is a third category of people that need a lawyer, not because they are in trouble, but because an attorney is required for a business transaction or another administrative process. This is the reason that most people are interested in hiring a Panamanian lawyer.
