Michael and Lyne Heim are building a house on the beach property they bought 7 years ago.

Had my friends Michael and Lyne known then what they know now about Peter Huss, they would not have bought the property.

Over the years Peter Huss told Michael many times that the title process was on the last steps. In 2011 Peter promised to transfer the title of their property within a few weeks but required the final payment to be made to pay for the land taxes so he could finalize the transfer. The final payment was to be made when the title is transferred into their name but they trusted Peter. They paid Peter but the title was put in his name instead.
They still do not have a title.

Peter had 5 years to install the water and electrical lines and to this date they only have a provisional water & electrical connection.
Peter promised temporary electrical line for construction. A kind neighbor had to connect them to his transformer so they could start building.

Peter told Michael that he did not need to install a meter on the temporary line because he would cover the small electricity cost until the house was ready. After 3 months he demanded payment for electricity at 4 times what it would have cost had it been metered.

They have an agreement stating that they pay a minimum 10$ for 10 cubic meters of water plus 1$ for each additional cubic meter. The well and tank installed by Peter have been made according to “Panamanian Standards”. The tank leaked approx. 15 cub. meter of water per day. As a result, the cost per cub. meter was 2.70 $ (for comparison IDAAN, the public water supplier charges 25 cents). Although they have this water cost agreement, Peter and Tropical Living wants them to pay the higher amount.

Michael and Lyne have experienced that most of what Peter has committed to them have not been fulfilled:
– that the community was a private one with its own private road with locked accesses 24 hours per day
– they had building guidelines that were to be followed
– they would not sell lots under 4000 M2
And there are more….

Michael and Lyne felt obligated to seek their councils help to assist in getting closure on some of these items starting with the titling process which under their contract was to be paid by Peter using his lawyer.

Their experience is that Peter will tell his potential clients everything they want to hear. Be aware, once he has your money, his commitment to fulfilling his obligations is no longer there.
