2012 was a truly landmark year for Tropical Homes Real Estate. Having achieved previous success in the Thailand Property Awards as Runners Up in Best Agent and Best Website categories it was true recognition to finally walk away with two accolades in the categories of Best Residential Agent Phuket and Best Independent Agent Thailand.
Since first launching
Tropical Homes Real Estate in Phuket in 2005 the company has become one of the most recognised leading agents in S.E Asia. Founded by David Wade, himself a seasoned professional in the world of real estate, with over 35 years experience and with a team of highly dedicated professionals in the field of
sales and rentals of luxury villas and condominiums Tropical Homes Real Estate has finally achieved what it set out to accomplish in 2005, to be Phuket’s leading agent for the sale and rental of
properties in Phuket and the sale and development of land on this beautiful island and its surrounds. In fact Tropical Homes Real Estate has been nominated for Best Agent in Phuket and Thailand every year since 2008.
Besides its permanent staff who speak English, French, Spanish, Hindi and Thai Tropical Homes Real Estate employs professionals for the Russian and Chinese markets. This has become an important new market with the need for people who have extensive knowledge of the Russian and mainland Chinese markets and a greater understanding of the demands of this growing clientele. Though we have found Russian clients still prefer to deal directly with a non-Russian agent but with a Russian speaker in tow the Chinese often prefer to deal directly with the Chinese representative unless they speak English. The Hong Kong Chinese, like the Singaporeans, have generally speaking, a much greater understanding of English language and are accustomed to purchasing property overseas.
Buying property in Phuket is much like buying property elsewhere in the world but buyers should be aware of the different ownership structures Thailand has in place. Thailand is a great place to buy as long as the buyer receives professional advice beforehand and throughout the entire process. Foreign Freehold Condominium, Protected Leaseholds, Offshore Companies and Land acquisition all require knowledge and understanding but if carried out correctly are often superior forms of ownership than can be found elsewhere. Our sales team led by Alison Davie, herself a professional in the world of real estate with over 10 years experience, can guide you through the various ownership structures and help you decide which is best for you.
In the rental market we have a very experienced team led by Hiede Depayso, herself a relatively young professional but with over 10 years in the field of hospitality and real estate management. Hiede and her team ensure the prospective client gets the correct property at the right price for his or her requirements whether it be short term vacation rentals or longer term. Each property, villa or condo, the epitome of luxury or a simpler abode, is only accepted after meeting our high standards and is checked regularly to ensure those standards are maintained. For the most discerning clients we can offer a bespoke service which might include private chef, chauffeur, masseuse and full maid service depending upon the individual client’s requirements. Tropical Homes Real Estate can tailor make the complete holiday for the client who really wants to be pampered and usually at a significantly lower cost than if the client sourced each service him or herself. We have specially negotiated rates with carefully selected yacht charter owners, car hire companies, tour operators and service providers.
Whilst our website lists most of Phuket's most luxurious villas and condos for sale and for rent there are some owners who do not wish to see their property marketed openly so if a particular type of property interests you it is better to make us aware of your requirements.
As well as villas and condominiums we have the largest selection of land plots for sale on Phuket but many of these are not listed on our website at the request of the owner. Thai owners are particularly sensitive about how is their beloved family land marketed so we only offer these plots confidentially. Please contact our Managing Director, David Wade, if you have any interest in the purchase or development of land on Phuket. David is a surveyor and developer from the UK but with extensive knowledge of overseas development and has lived overseas for the past 12 years, 8 of which having been spent in Phuket, his "first home". David is also a freelance property correspondent and has been a regular contributor of property related articles since 1989.
Thailand has a lot to offer with Phuket is its jewel.
With its magnificent tropical scenery, unspoilt beaches, stunning seas, exotic marine life, diverse and intoxicating night life, hotels and restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets. outstanding golf courses, world class schools and hospitals and an international airport with superior connections and direct flights to the entire globe no wonder Phuket, the Pearl of the Andaman Sea, is increasingly becoming the chosen first or second home for many of the world’s elite and rich and famous. Perhaps Thailand's greatest asset however is its friendly and welcoming people, Thailand is not known as the Land of Smiles without reason.
Property in Thailand is as diverse as its people are friendly and nowhere is it more diverse than in Phuket. From magnificent villas on pristine beaches or dramatic cliff sides to simple one bed condos the quality of property in Thailand is often far superior to its counterpart elsewhere. To be the best Phuket has to compete with a lot of worthy challengers and for the most part it comes out on top. Our website is constantly updated so please visit it frequently or register for our newsletter which offers information on any special deals or price reductions or new offers to the market.
Tropical Homes Real Estate is a wholly independent company with no particular affiliations or bias towards any one developer or owner. Our advice is professional and therefore completely unbiased. There are no buyers’ fees or finders’ fees when buying or renting from Tropical Homes Real Estate. We have a dedicated team of staff who perhaps offer levels of service and loyalty that an international branded company cannot.
