Property, residency and relocation in Panama

A fresh start in Panama, done properly.

I'm Hossame Kreidieh. I help people discover real estate opportunities in Panama — whether that's a residency application, a move for the family, or getting money into a stable, dollar-based country. I know which properties support which route, and I put you directly in front of the top developers' investment advisors and the licensed counsel who handle the rest. In English, Spanish or Arabic.

Why Panama

Three reasons that come up in almost every first conversation

Currency

It runs on the US dollar

One whole category of thing you don't have to manage.

The asset

You can stand in it

Not a line on a brokerage statement. For a lot of buyers, that's the entire appeal.

Somewhere to go

A second country

Panama has established residency routes tied to property. For many of my clients that, not the apartment, is the point.

Residency

If residency is the reason, say so in the first ten minutes

It changes which projects qualify, which construction timelines work, and the order things have to happen in.

The property — mine

Routes have thresholds, and pre-construction adds timing and title questions a finished resale doesn't. I'll tell you which projects fit and which will quietly fail.

The application — counsel's

Licensed Panamanian attorneys prepare and file it. I introduce you and brief them properly on your circumstances.

Where it goes wrong

The purchase and the application run on separate clocks. Keeping them aligned is the most useful thing I do for a residency buyer.

The boundary

I don't give immigration advice or represent you in an application. If anyone selling you an apartment offers to handle your immigration file, ask to see their licence.

Knowing who should answer which question — and having those people already lined up — is the difference between buying property abroad and gambling on it.

My role

I know Panama, and I know what you're actually trying to solve

A residency buyer, a relocating family and someone diversifying out of the markets should not end up in the same apartment. Working out which one you are is most of the job.

What I do

Work out what you actually need, know the inventory properly — stages, payment schedules, completion dates — and coordinate the advisor, counsel and your accountant so you deal with one person instead of five.

Residency filings

Licensed Panamanian counsel. I make the introduction and stay across it.

Tax

A cross-border accountant, because the answer depends on where you're resident. If you don't have one, I'll point you to people who do this seriously.

The projects

The developer's own investment advisor presents them. I'm an independent broker, not their salesperson — on the detail you should hear it from the source.

Projected returns

Nobody honest promises you a number. If someone opens with one, they're describing their commission.

Process

Four steps, and you can stop after any of them

Nothing commits you until you sign with the developer.

  1. A conversation

    Twenty minutes on what you want and whether Panama fits. Sometimes it doesn't.

  2. The real numbers

    Projects, prices, payment schedules and completion dates.

  3. The advisor

    A call with the developer's investment advisor. Ask the hard questions.

  4. Counsel and completion

    Licensed counsel handle legal and residency. I stay reachable.

Who

Hossame Kreidieh

Hossame Kreidieh

Independent broker for pre-construction residential projects in Panama. Based in Vancouver, working with buyers across Canada, the Middle East and Europe.

Before KAZ, I spent more than ten years in international retail and wholesale sales — including seven in Panama as Senior International Sales Manager for Saint Honoré, running domestic and international distribution and reporting to the board. Living there is what brought me to property: I watched the city grow around me, and saw how much depends on knowing the right people. Now I introduce buyers to them.

KAZ is Kreidieh, Adam and Zachary — my family name and my two sons. I named the business after them because that's who I'm building it for.

Most of the people I work with were introduced by someone they trust, or knew me long before any of this. That's the standard I'd like to keep.
