Buying Search

Local market knowledge is essential when buying a property and SRE's expertise and presence in the Phuket property market means that we know exactly what's going on in terms of activity and prices being achieved.

SRE are experts when it comes to searching for and negotiating on property. Our negotiating power means that we can usually offer a minimum 5% price reduction for the buyer or possibly more off the published price regardless of your budget, we pride ourselves on finding you the best properties, both on and off the market. Once the right property is found, we then work to ensure you pay the lowest possible price.

If you're negotiating on your own without expert advice, it's incredibly difficult to know what price you should be paying in the current market. SRE combine our market knowledge and experience with our listing database which is the largest in Thailand. We're working for you, and we're here to ensure that you don't overspend once the right property is found.

Our buying search service provides you with informed, expert advice throughout the process, from the start of the search through to introductions to lawyers. We're understanding, professional and impartial, and we're working for you, on your side at all times.

Here's how it works

1. Research

   We work closely with you to compile a focused and realistic brief which takes into account your requirements and preferences relating to the budget, style, condition, size and location of the property. We can advise on different areas and options available within your budget. We speak to all the relevant sellers, developers and our own private contacts and leave no stone unturned in the search process.

2. Short List

   We preview and shortlist suitable properties - this saves you valuable time as we will only show you properties that we have first pre-viewed on your behalf and that meet with all of your requirements.

3. Report summary

   Having vetted and viewed each property and made a very close inspection, we know which are suitable and which are not. SRE shortlist those which suit your brief, and provide you with honest and objective feedback on each property.

4. Property Tour

   We accompany you on viewings to show you the shortlisted properties. During the property tours we will advise you on the local area and amenities and pricing. Once a suitable property has been identified, we provide you with an objective overview of the property and pricing so that you are equipped with the knowledge to make an informed buying decision.

5. Negotiation

   When the right property is found, SRE use expert negotiating skills to secure the right property at the best possible price and on the most favorable terms and handle the negotiations on your behalf. Our negotiating power means that we can usually offer a minimum 5% price reduction for the buyer or possibly more off the published price.

6. Conveyance

   Once the price is agreed, and reservation deposit put down, we introduce you to a reputable lawyer at the right price who has vast local experience in property conveyance. We use our expertise to ensure that the process runs as smoothly and quickly as possible.

We would be delighted to answer any questions you may have or to explain more about our service, so please don't hesitate to contact us.
