What people had said about us....

What people had said about us....

"Since completing the sale of our 1873 home, we have been impressed with not only Arco Properties expertise in the real estate market, but also to their dedication to the social, cultural and historic preservation of Casco Viejo. We recommend Arco Properties to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in the historic city of Casco Antiguo."

"Finding the right property in Casco Viejo can be quite daunting, especially when you are new in town, but with Arco Properties my husband Francesco and I felt right at home. First Arco sourced us a great rental and then helped us find the perfect flat to buy. It's clear that they really know and understand real estate in Casco Viejo and all members of the team gave us an efficient, comprehensive and friendly service from day one to completion. I couldn't recommend them highly enough". Suzanne and Francesco Ambrogetti

 
"In early 2005, on a layover en route to the Boca del Toro islands, we unexpectedly “discovered” Casco Antiguo. Having a longstanding passion for architectural preservation, and envisioning the possibility of personally being part of the renewal of a vibrant historic community, we were immediately captivated. The memory remained; upon our return to the United States, we contacted Arco Properties by e-mail. Arco Properties’ staff’s passion, thoughtfulness, and commitment to community were immediately evident, even from afar. Clara Hardin helped us find our apartment—our retirement home—and, since we moved to Panama City (and finally met face-to-face), has become a trusted advisor and a ready friend and neighbor.

"On our first trip to Panama, we met Clara Hardin of Arco Properties.  She was very knowlegeable and helpful, and able to show us several properties.  However, her  true professionalism, and that of the Arco company, came through when she offered her expertise in arranging for us, as foreigners, to get a mortgage at a Panamanian bank at a very low rate.  I would certainly recommend Arco Properties to anyone looking for property in Casco Viejo." Betty and Craig Weinceks
Our commitment to community

Arco Properties has pledged to donate 10% of our annual profits and at least 5% of each of our employees time to community organizations.

In 2006, we donated $11,500 to Fundacion Calicanto, a Casco Viejo-based non-profit originally formed to secure the World Heritage Site designation and now re-structuring to do social work.  The donation was earmarked for supporting 52 Saturday music, dance and art workshops for local children, and to send two groups of 20 local women for a three month course in hotel service. By 2009 the program had succesfully graduated more than 60 women, 89% of them had gotten permanent jobs.

In 2009 we supported the creation of Casco Antiguo´s neighborhood association AVACA ( Asociacion de Vecinos y Amigos del Casco Antiguo) as a tool to contribute to the revitalization of the Casco from the point of the civil society.
