Panama Real Estate Market now powered by Emergis Real Estate
(real-estate-news-articles.com) Panama’s Real Estate Market Becomes Buyer Oriented. Emergis Real Estate announced the launching of its real estate portal, www.emergisrealestate.com. This site allows for collaboration between the Emergis Real Estate team, direct buyers, sellers and/or licensed real estate brokers in Panama. Additionally, it allows sellers to upload their property details directly onto the site so that visitors to the site may obtain basic information about the properties that are currently being offered.
The site aims to become more dynamic with features such as constant e-mail reminders to all parties involved, which add value to the users of the site. One of the most important features of the site is that it is driven by Buyer Property Requests. Potential buyers interested in purchasing or renting a property in Panama provide their basic needs such as number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, size, neighborhood and other characteristics that are important to them. The Emergis Real Estate system then matches these requirements up with actual properties uploaded by brokers and sellers that match these criteria. Another feature, that did not exist in the market is the ability to schedule appointments. After reading the property profile on the site, prospective buyers can decide to schedule an appointment to view a property. The site manages the appointment calendar for all stake holders: prospective buyers, sellers and brokers that are registered on the Emergis Real Estate database. After scheduling an appointment, an Emergis Real Estate staff member picks the buyer up and takes them to their several appointments to view properties. This allows for a visitor to optimize his or her time in Panama, as they now have in a single place all apointments.
“For the first time, the prospecting process is in the hands of the buyer. Typically, brokers and sellers try and market properties that are in their inventory. This is not enough as generally, a buyer has a very specific idea of the type of property they are looking to purchase. Our system tries to fix this and the ever elusive scheduling problem with busy and active brokers” said the companys co-founder Javier Ortiz.
Users, benefit from an always up-to-date database and knowledgeable staff to guide them through the process. The most important aspect of the entire proposition to buyers is that the service is completely free. If the sale of a property should occur through the website, the seller pays Emergis the real estate brokerage fee which is typically 5% of the sale price. Because this website aims to integrate everyone if there is another broker involved in the transaction the comission will be 2.5% for each.
The Panama Real Estate market still promises a healthy outlook. World-class standards, and a stable economy have helped make of tourism an important source of revenue.
