CHORD Real Estate has announced the third annual Invest Panama Summit, scheduled for January 14-17, 2027, in Panama City, Panama. The four-day guided experience is designed to give prospective buyers and investors direct access to Panama’s real estate market, moving beyond remote research to immersive, on-site evaluation.
The summit follows the success of the second annual event held in May 2026, which attracted twelve participants from across North America. This year’s edition is expected to draw a larger group, reflecting growing interest in Panama as a destination for real estate investment.
The program begins with a welcome reception on Thursday evening, allowing attendees to meet CHORD’s principals and fellow participants before the property tours commence. Friday and Saturday are dedicated to visits across Panama City’s primary development zones, including established urban districts, waterfront communities, and master-planned residential projects. On Saturday, the tour extends to Panama’s Pacific coast, including the Chame District and Playa Caracol, where major resort and residential brands are currently under construction. Sunday offers leisure time in the city before departure.
Participants will meet directly with developers, walk active construction sites, and tour areas and projects they have been researching remotely. Feedback from previous summits has been consistent: attendees describe the on-the-ground experience as categorically different from anything research alone produces, with several entering negotiations on properties during the summit itself.
“Every market has its nuances,” said Steve Luther, founder of CHORD Real Estate. “The best way to understand what you are actually buying is to see it yourself, meet the people behind it, and ask your questions in person. That is what the summit is built around.”
Panama’s real estate market varies significantly by zone, and each area visited carries its own characteristics, price points, and considerations. The summit format is designed to give participants the context needed to evaluate which opportunities align with their specific goals, whether that is a second home, a rental property, or a residency-linked purchase.
Registration is now open at chordrealestate.com/investpanamasummit. Spots are limited and allocated on a first-come basis. Prospective participants are encouraged to reach out early to discuss the program and reserve their place.

The summit highlights the importance of firsthand experience in international real estate transactions, where nuances can significantly impact investment decisions. By facilitating direct interaction with developers and active sites, CHORD aims to bridge the gap between remote research and informed purchasing.
