Hi,

Committing to renting or buying accommodation when youre new to or have not moved to Panama just yet is always a stressful endeavour. Would you like to help us in putting together a handbook of what to look out for when house hunting in Panama?

What are the most common scams in Panama?

What are the red flags to look out for when scanning through adverts?

Is there a list of registered or accredited landlords or real estate agencies in Panama?

What authorities should be sought should one come across an accommodation scam?

Please share your experience,

Bhavna
