Open Doors Panama Estates Launches: Saturday, May 27, 2017

“Your Opportunity Awaits Through Open Doors”

Our Story

Drawn by the beauty of the natural beaches, surfing opportunities, and the kindly natured community, Brent and Karla Adams chose Pedasi, Panama as their home away from home. Their sons, ages 15 and 10, were thrilled to take surfing lessons in Playa Venao before school every morning, and their dogs took every opportunity to chase the birds along the natural beaches. The Azuero Peninsula is known for traditional Panamanian culture, music, and festivals, so the area appealed to their pursuit of the international experience.

Brent and Karla came to Panama from Colorado with over ten years of experience in the real estate industry. Brent is a licensed mortgage lender while Karla specializes in real estate sales and marketing. In response to the request of several homeowners who were struggling to sell their gorgeous beachfront properties, Open Doors Panama Estates was established to provide high-quality marketing in this remote area.

Our Mission

Our mission is to serve local and international home buyers and sellers by providing cutting-edge professional real estate services with honesty and integrity in the country of Panama. We want our clients to be well informed so they can make the best decision for their family and their future. The further we reach, the more people will know about this hidden gem and the exciting opportunities that await in the Republic of Panama. We are honored to open the doors for you.

A Few Words of Thanks

With deep gratitude, we would like to offer special thanks to the following:

First and foremost, to God who opened every door both in the company and in getting here with our family in general. We are blessed beyond measure. Psalm 127:1
To the Panamanian people who are so kind and patient with our family as we make mistakes, learn your language and your culture. We are always open to your feedback and suggestions on how we can do what we do here while still honoring your country and your culture.
To our first clients who put your faith and trust in us exclusively without any background of success here. You allow us to push and make you uncomfortable in order to prepare your homes for the market, and we appreciate all that you did as well as your patience during the waiting and learning process.
To Sigrun, our amazing interior designer. Girl, I have never seen anyone work so hard, and with so much energy! You deserve all the success in the world, and we look forward to a very long personal and professional relationship with you.
To Sean Davis, our “celebrity photographer” who helped us launch with gorgeous images that truly tell the story of how beautiful this area is. Thank you for putting up with my driving while I learn stick shift! I’m glad we didn’t wind up stuck in that ditch.
To Gloria, our licensed real estate partner. We couldn’t even do this without you partnering with us. We are so grateful that in addition to making us legitimate, you are providing us with the knowledge we need to do our jobs here well.
To the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing for the excellent training, mentorship and the international connections that will be a benefit to our clients.
To our Panama friends (expats and locals), local cooperating real estate brokers, and neighborhood residents for being a pleasure to work with and for welcoming and supporting us.
To our family and friends back home, for your support and prayers as we have been on this journey. We love you and miss you.
