Why let us represent you?
Buying property here in Thailand is not straightforward and you will need professional sound advice which acts in your best interest. It can be a confusing experience due to law, regulation, language barrier, and choice.
We offer the largest selection of property, land, long-term rentals and holiday rentals in Thailand so there is no need to go elsewhere.
Our sales team are both foreign and Thai and all speak perfect English. They will assist with interpretations and translations to avoid any misunderstanding and to ensure you know what you are buying and the exact terms.
We qualify your needs prior to viewings and ensure we do not waste each others time. With such a vast and diverse choice of properties available it is important to select a short list in advance and for us to then plan a viewing itinerary trip so that we maximize use of your time efficiently.
Our professional advice avoids you viewing unsuitable properties and narrows down the choices as we know every property and what they offer.
We act as a liaison between both the buyer and seller, although our fee is paid by the seller. We assist with negotiations in an impartial manner and ensure you get the best deal possible and provide pre-purchase due diligence which avoids you making the wrong buying decision.
After making an offer, our support and service assists you with choosing a reputable lawyer, accountant, opening a bank account, visas, local knowledge, accompanying you to the land office, and any other questions you may have in the buying process. Please see our testimonials page online for our many satisfied buyers.
Remember you have a choice, if you go it alone it is at your own risk and there are many pitfalls which you can fall into. Our service is FREE and costs you nothing and all we ask is if we provide a good service that you remain loyal to us and purchase or rent through our company now or in the future!
Qualifications
Thailand has few regulations or standards regarding real estate and anyone can set themselves up as a broker. Therefore, it is very important that you deal with those who show professionalism and expertise in the Thai real estate market. Ask for credentials and testimonials before you put your trust in an agent/broker.
