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.

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.
