Property Management in Panama City, Panama
You own the apartment. We find the tenant, check who they are before anyone signs, and deal with what comes up after they move in, including when you are in another country.
What we actually handle
Nely has managed properties for the same owners for years. This is what that means in practice.
Tenant screening
We ask for references and we call them, before anyone signs anything.
Finding the tenant
Photos, the listing, and the showings. Juan Pablo takes the photos and drives people to the unit himself.
Repairs and the trades
When something breaks the tenant calls us, not you. Handymen, cleaners and appliance technicians we actually use.
Utilities and paperwork
The services attached to the unit, and whatever the building administration sends.
Honest pricing advice
We tell you what your unit will actually rent for, not what you would like to hear.
Sunday to Sunday
Your tenant can reach a real person seven days a week.
Owning an apartment in Panama from another country
Most of the owners we work with are not in Panama. Some bought here as an investment, some moved away and kept the apartment. The problem is the same one: a tenant with a question, a notice from the building administration, something broken on a Sunday, and nobody on the ground to deal with any of it.
We are the person on the ground. You make the decisions; we do the walking.
- Tenant contact: the questions and the small problems, before they become big ones.
- The building administration: notices, rules, and whatever they need from the owner.
- Repairs: we send someone we have used before, and you hear what it was and what it cost.
- Utilities and the paperwork attached to the unit.
How we screen a tenant
The wrong tenant is the expensive part of renting out an apartment, and it is the hardest part to undo. So this is where we spend the time.
- We ask for references, and we call them.
- We meet the person. We show the apartment ourselves, so nobody signs a contract on your unit that we have not met in person.
- We tell you what we found. If something does not add up, we say so.
- If a tenant is wrong for your apartment, we will tell you they are wrong, the same way we tell a client when an apartment is wrong for them.
Renting out your apartment: how it starts
1
You tell us about the unit
Which building, which neighborhood, how many bedrooms, furnished or not, and when it is free.
2
We tell you what it will rent for
Based on what is actually renting in that building and that neighborhood right now.
3
We photograph it and start showing it
Photos, the listing here and where people are looking, and the tours.
We take rentals from $1,300 a month and sales from $100,000. Below that we cannot give the owner the service we want to give, so we say no.
In their words
Nely is not only very capable — she knows the market and the prices well, and represents her client’s interests to the fullest — she is also a lovely person. I recommend her services 100%.

Nely and Juan Pablo went above and beyond our expectation… They have checked on us several times and are always ready to help out with any questions. This is high praise indeed considering we were both Realtors in the United States.
