Mary..l like the fact that you're factual with your words; straight up and down the line; no beating around the bush. Also looking at retiring from WY. Seeking large acreage with waterfall; intent to be self-sustaining with fruit, veg, few sheep; medicinal plants; deep-sea fishing. Thank you for step-by-step advice. Greatly appreiated.
WOW MARY! You are so to the point, you cut through the BS, you are sharing information that is of the UTMOST IMPORTANCE to those of us whom are serious in moving to Panama. Your no-nonsense better do it right, because in the end you save yourself, headaches, surprises, lost of money and most of all not forgetting PEACE OF MIND. Can't wait to eventually meet you! Way to go girl! I've been watching your videos...since the start I can you as one of the best teachers around ! I greatly enjoy your videos. I am taking notes and I look forward to every new video you post! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Thank YOU so much!! You just made my day with your kind comment. :) I think it's so important for people to really understand what it is like moving here and living here- not just a bunch of fluffy paradise BS. So glad you appreciate the information I'm providing!
Has I posted on one 9f your other videos I bought a new beautiful home in Bucaramanga Colombia, and the law in Colombia is any warranty or other contracts are VOIDED after you close on the house. I had an ok Attorney in Colombia but I love how open and detailed about your story and love how you get to the point. I have seen other videos from people that dont give many details.
Wow. I'm glad things worked out for you with the property you now own. I knew there was something soothing about your "accent", and now I know what it is! I was born and raised in LA! Thank you for informing us all about the "gotcha's" in your personal journey. Hopefully that will keep the rest of us from being lunch for the sharks.
Very well presented and highly informative. Your videos certainly alert us to the pitfalls, but also, in a positive sense, indicate how important preparation, planning, and a sense of adventure is involved. Kudos...and wish you the very best. Look forward to the balance of your adventure.
Wow. When we talked to a real estate agent about the same property a couple years ago, we were provided with the same assurance that a concession was in place and he sent us paperwork showing what was still owed. We were lead to believe that just cutting a cheque for the balance owed would be good. Can't wait to see what the property looks like now!
Yeah.......we really got blindsided with the whole concession thing. The bill we were given (that the seller paid) was for owner's rights while the concession was being applied for. The concession was never approved. Gotta be careful- it's a jungle out here! :) Property tour is next week!
Mary, thanks Mary, again, for the quality of your work. So helpful! As we get to visit your property, it would be very helpful to get a price idea of your investment but I understand that may be confidential. Just asking in case...
Great information, thank you! Can you at least say whether the attorney was from BML Legal Group? I’m hoping not since it was Carmen who recommended them but just trying to cross all T’s as a precaution. About to start going thru the process and I’m a bit nervous because I didn’t go with Kramer
Omg that lawyer sounds so frustrating! Money owing on title? That’s pretty standard, if she messed even that up... 😬 Did she come recommended? How did you end up finding K+K? If I purchase in another country I hope I can find someone who lives up to their recommendation!
There is almost a half a million Americans who live in panama I have been told. It's important people have a translator if they don't understand Spanish. Have your paper work translated into your native language and read it carefully. Make sure the attorneys name is nowhere on your deed.
@@IGoPanama The lady attorney you talk about I know of. She is a crook. I have a huge story I'm taking to fox News so that will help people not get taken in panama. I have a house in Boquete.
@@riccidaoro8499 I don't think it's the same lady. My previous attorney wasn't a crook, just really slow to respond and not as thorough as I would have liked.
@@IGoPanama In David and Boquete they all know each other. They just approved an MLS listing in panama so you can pass that on. The realtors are crooked. Make sure they don't get anymore than 6%. My lawyer is in panama city and is the most incredible honest lawyer I have ever dealt with. Attorneys in David jumped on 5 pieces of property of my sister. Explain to your audience that if you leave a piece of property for a period time and leave it. People will move in or on it. ROP LAWS
The way you are talking.... seems you have a lot of stress... I believe panama is not a place for you. I am very confident that in a few months you will be back to L.A.
The situation I was recalling and discussing was extremely stressful. But it's over now. Your confidence in me going back to LA in a few months is completely erroneous. Sorry to disappoint the naysayer in you. :) My life is here now. We're on a 5-8 year plan and things are actually going extremely well (if you watched the 3 months in Panama video, you'd know that.).
Why do you even reply to this kind of comment, Mary? Sorry, this kind of person who writes something so inane, just needs to be ignored. They're sitting at home desperate for human contact, but can't get it in actuality, so they look for people like you...
