Here are the steps to follow when purchasing real estate in the Republic of Panama:
Step 1: Knowing about the Republic of Panama

Title insurance can be obtained and traditional mortgages are available. In the case of Island properties, you can obtain concessions or titles in some cases. Titles in Island Properties are only possible if the title of the Island was given before or while the Omar Torrijos government (1968-1978).

Step 4: Find your property; Our webpage consist of a great number of options for you to choose from. Panamahotproperties.com has arranged a detailed organized property listing with pictures of most of our hot properties. However, some of them do not have pictures online but we would be glad to provide detailed information to our clients.
Step 5: Come to check the options out yourself; We are sure that before purchasing you would like to take a look at the property for yourself. Once you contact us and confirm your interest, we can arrange private airport pickup, hotel arrangements, private transportation to the properties by car, boat or helicopter. Panamahotproperties.com also counts with a diverse team of financial and legal advisors.
Step 6: The negotiation; Once you have taken a decision on the purchase, the process will start moving faster. Panamahotproperties.com will provide the buy / sales contract and will proceed on the final arrangements with the bank. Depending on your interests, we will set up your financial structure, credit cards and migration documentation.
As we mentioned, once you reach to the 6th step and we have provided the ?Buy / Sale contract?, you would need to make an initial deposit to the seller. The initial payment can be different on each situation. In most of the cases the buyer makes a 10% deposit.
The ?Buy / Sale? contract includes any type of stipulations that can be done in between the buyer and the seller. These stipulations could include details like timeframe on payments as well as any inquires on changes on the property.
A Panamanian ?Buy / Sell Contract? is a Panamanian legal document that basically formalizes that the Seller promises to sell the property and that the Buyer promises to buy the property and that if one of them decides to retire from the transaction, there will be penalties.
If the Buyer retires from the agreement, it will loose its deposit and if the Seller retires, it should return the deposit plus a amount equivalent to the deposit. In other words, if the Seller receives an initial payment of 10%, it must return the 10% plus another 10% as a penalty fee. If by any means the seller can not get the 20%, the Buyer has the legal rights to take an action and proceed on taking the seller to court.
The initial payment is a very important process when buying real estate in Panama. If there is not an initial payment made, the Seller does not have the obligation to retain the Panamanian property from any other offers. In some cases, the Seller could change its mind and accept a better offer made without any penalties.
In such cases pamamahotproperties.com can put you in touch with an Escrow service provider in order to secure the property transaction.
A Panamanian escrow service will help you with the following:
? Providing assurance to the seller that the buyer has funds enough to pay for the property and legal fees, since the escrow company receives the funds and are responsible for disbursements.
? Providing a full title search to the buyer and assurance that all property documents are in order.
? Providing all necessary contracts and protection to the buyer?s interest.
? Providing the buyer with assurance that all parties involved will make payments according to the Sales Contract in order to avoid any purchase claims.
In other words, if there are no escrow services hired or any initial payments made to the Seller, there are chances for you on loosing the property.
Once the Buy / Sale Contract is signed, an initial deposit will be done; the Seller must complete its obligations in order to finish the property transaction from the Seller to the Buyer.
Once the Sales Contract is signed and the initial deposit gets done, the remaining balance keeps pending. A new contract follows from the Panamanian Public Registry to finish the property transaction and all payments.
Step 7: The elaboration
Depending on your interests, we can proceed on elaborating development plans for your property such as construction permits, design and actual building process.
