Chris Frochaux

I started out as an attorney-at-law in Switzerland and represented the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) among other activities such as general manager of a liquor manufacture (an activity involving the purchase of malts in Scotland to blend them in Panama among other things) and director of the international office of the world’s largest shipping registry in New York, before switching to a career in Real Estate, initially in the United States and since early 2008 in the Republic of Panama. I am currently a director with Servmor Realty (previously known as Semusa Realty Century21 Siuma Realty) and hold the coveted Panamanian PN broker license. I maintain additionally an active Real Estate Broker license in Florida, although I focus exclusively on Panama. Aside from over 20 years in Panama, I have lived for longer than one year in France, Ivory Coast, Italy, Senegal, Switzerland, Argentina, Miami and Manhattan. Swiss father, French mother, I learned Spanish accidentally, which is an interesting anecdote. I think simultaneously in Spanish, English and French, and speak other languages including Italian. (Please note that, due to technical limitations, I am writing this in English and have to trust the Internet with automatic translations!). I work U.S. style, with a typically Swiss attention to details. I could choose to live – and work – in Europe or in the United States, but I’m quite happy in Panama with my Panamanian family.
