Greetings everyone! I have been following this forum for quite a while now and this is my first posting to offer my services. My name is Marla Rucker and I am a property consultant here in Panama. I work for a company called Cpanama Real Estate Corp, and our office is on Balboa avenue right here in the heart of Panama City. I know that many of you are using the internet as a tool to research a possible move to Panama, and some are even considering investing down here. I can tell you that now is a great time to invest, but the process can be a bit daunting. There are literally hundreds of real estate agents out there, and some are not as professional as others. I would like to offer my services to anyone that has any questions about the investment climate down here, what to watch out for, and really any type of inquiry whatsoever!

Only Hundreds of agents down there? Here, there are thousands.

could you post some photos and pricing of some of your best properties?

Marla, I know several developers and Realtors who moved to Panama to begin developing and selling around Boca, and I know of several people from our area who bought down there. How did you discover this message board, and are you familiar with SoWal?
By the way, when you are talking to people in our area, you should be aware that Panama City, Florida, USA is only 40 miles away, so you might want to include that you are referring to Panama, the country.

Your country looks very pretty especially the springs and waterfalls on the country property. Thanks for the link, gull.

I am guessing Ms. Panama has NOT been following this forum for quite some time, stumbled in during a search and got the area confused with Panama City, Panama. Sorry if I am wrong.

When it comes to USF football, I am about the earliest adapter you will ever meet.
I agree with you about Panama, sorry Marla. My brother is headed to Costa Rica in three weeks to seek his fortune. I will let you know how it goes. :shock:

...but hasn't Noriega been in jail since the late 1980's? Hell, South Walton was barely an infant back then, and Destin was just learning to crawl.
Speaking of Noriega, is he out of prison yet? I think he was supposed to be released sometime this fall, then shipped to France to serve more time.
One other note, Bob, I think it was the good ole US of A who gave Noreiga that sword. The same US of A who later stormed into Panama and threw his booty in prison.

Maybe when we leave Iraq, say 2085, we can go down there and rescue those folks again from themselves. Perhaps we could drop a few hundred MOABs and create a lower maintenance canal.

PoliTRICKS are interesting, aren't they? We (USA) always seem to be giving millions of dollars to create rulers, who end up being "corrupt" (I wonder who is really corrupt), then, call them the enemy and hunt them down like fox on the run. Now I'm confused, were we talking about Osama Bin Laden or self-appointed General Noriega?

Ask Manuel, Musharraf, Dick Cheney,or the ghost of Saddam. The U.S. is good folks to know. Just follow our instructions very carefully.

Sorry, forgot I was in the real estate thread. Back to Panama City, Panama "the Country," real estate.
So if we deposit our money into banks or real estate in Panama, the Country, any profits made cannot be taxed by the US Gov't unless the money is brought back to the US, correct? I hear the international banking business down there is second only to Switzerland.

I found a Noriega-era (1983) Panamanian penny on the floor of my minivan this morning.
