Renting apartment in Panama City

Hello! I'll be living in Panama for six months. I'm looking to rent a 2 bedroom apartment downtown and it should be near a supermarket. Any advise or help where I can find a suitable apartment would be appreciated.

If you speak Spanish, check out the La Prensa Clasificados at http://clasificados.prensa.com/

Select "500 Bienes raices - Alquileres" in the box to the right.

If you are looking around for an apartment, it is probably best to go to a real estate agent around your area or the area you want to live in, they will get you the best places to live and probably the best prices aswell. However, i know of people that have bought houses from the Internet and the deal went very smoothly and they are living there happily now.

Are there any problems with corrupt real estate agents like there are with lawyers?

Hey tallman, from what I have read the Real Estate agents need to take their job seriously and be honest about dealing with customers. It takes them a long time to get the certification and it can be easily revoked if they do bad business. They will cut each other's throats in a heart beat but when it comes to doing business with clients they are required to be honest or else. I am sure there is always an exception to the rule but the real estate certification is very serious to them.

Usually it will cost more to rent for less time. For example it will cost more per day to rent on a day-to-day basis than on a month-to-month basis.

Can you supply some photos of this place? I'm very interested to see what you can get for $200/month. Thanks

I would like to see a floor plan or indoor photos rather than see outdoor photos.
