Services
I have used and employed Ms. Gail Geerling to oversee the handling of those issues and am very impressed with what Gail has done for me in the past.
Try as I would, I just could not work with or get things done dealing directly with the project attorneys. She personally met with them on my behalf and was able to accomplish what I needed. She set me up with another party in Panama who does a better job and charges less than their predecessor did. My fees and taxes are up to date because of her diligence on my behalf.
Gail also speaks fluent Spanish, I do not. She has a feel for how to do things in Panama, real estate, government protocols, good contacts, etc. I do not. And, I was very comfortable with what she charged me to do what I wanted done.
Your issues may be the same and/or different than mine were, but it might just be in your best interest to speak with Gail and see if she can help you deal with them as she helped me deal with mine.

Purchasing Property in Central America
Buying real estate in Central America a very different process than in North America or Europe, and it comes with all sorts of potential pitfalls. Information on the internet and through marketing agencies usually paints a bright picture but, while this may be true in certain situations, it can be completely misleading in others. We will connect you with reliable professionals such as attorneys, bankers, and real estate professionals, who will tell you the truth and protect your interests. We will hold your hand every step of the way, to help you avoid the pitfalls and have the best possible experience with your property purchase. And we can be involved as little or as much as you’d like.
Due diligence is not an option in Central America. It’s a requirement!
In full disclosure – if we are offered a referral fee from a seller you will be informed in advance of your purchase and you will be rebated for this amount from your retainer fee. We believe that win-win-win situations are the best for all and these situations can only happen with honesty, openness and integrity.
Be clear – We DO NOT work for the seller. We work for YOU.
