Margaret was born in Ireland but has spent her most of her life as an expat. While her career background has varied from analytical chemistry to management of a health center, real estate has always been her passion.
In late 2005, Margaret joined Pathfinder, initially as an administrator. She spent her first fifteen months analyzing the paperwork, and overseeing the due diligence, of countless projects. It gave her a solid grounding in Latin American real estate, before she moved on to the next phase: scouting.
In 2007, Margaret relocated to Panama, and started investigating properties in Latin America first-hand. These days, she spends around half her time traveling, scouting for real estate deals. She’s usually off-road, off the beaten track… in parts of Latin America you won’t find on a map… in the quest for up-and-coming real estate hot spots.
In the last four years, Margaret has viewed more properties… met more developers and brokers…and scrutinized more deals…than just about anyone else in this business. Her scientific background gives her an edge when it comes to making a logical, objective analysis of a deal. Unsurprisingly, only a very few properties meet her exacting standards.
Margaret lives in Casco Viejo, Panama City’s hip historic quarter, when she is not on the road scouting.
