The Private Office · Property sourcing
Your property consultant in Phuket
Buying property from the other side of the world is hard when you cannot stand in the rooms yourself. Khun Mark stands in them for you, rules out what does not stack up and sends back a shortlist you can trust.
Your feet on the ground in Phuket
Listings photograph well. Damp, road noise, a half-built neighbour and a lease with a weak clause do not. Khun Mark attends viewings on your behalf, assesses each property's condition, rental potential and resale value, and drops anything that would not survive a second look.
What you receive is a short, honest list of properties that genuinely match your brief, with his notes on each. Not a pile of links to sift through at midnight.
Talk it through
It starts with a call to Khun Mark
Every search is different, so it starts with a conversation. Khun Mark can talk you through the sourcing service on a call: how a search works, what it covers and whether it suits what you are looking for.
The aim is finding the right property, not the quickest one.
How it works
Five steps from brief to keys
- 1
Tell Khun Mark what you want
A short call or message: budget, area, property type, how you will use it, and whether it needs to earn rent. Khun Mark will tell you plainly if the brief and the budget do not match.
- 2
Engage Khun Mark
Once you are happy to go ahead, the search starts, across listed homes and properties Khun Mark hears about through his network on the island.
- 3
Viewings in person
Khun Mark attends every viewing. He assesses condition, title type, rental potential and resale value, and takes the photos and video the listing does not show.
- 4
You receive your shortlist
A focused shortlist with Khun Mark's notes on each property, the ownership structure that would apply to you and any concerns. He talks it through with you by call or video.
- 5
You decide
When you agree to proceed with a property, a snagging inspection can be arranged before handover, and Khun Mark can introduce you to an independent lawyer for the legal checks.

Questions
Can foreigners buy property in Phuket?
Yes, with limits. You can own a condo freehold within a building's 49% foreign quota. You cannot own land, so villas are usually bought on a registered 30-year land lease with the building in your name. Khun Mark explains which structure applies before you commit to anything. This is general guidance, not legal advice.
Why use a property consultant instead of contacting sellers directly?
The seller's representative works for the seller. Khun Mark works for you: he views on your behalf, tells you what he would not buy and why, and keeps your shortlist to properties worth your time. For overseas buyers it also saves flights to see homes that were never right.
How do I get started?
With a call. Khun Mark can talk you through the sourcing service, how a search works and what you are looking for. You decide from there.
Do you only look at homes listed online?
No. Khun Mark searches listed homes and properties he hears about through his network on the island.
How long does a search take?
It depends on the brief and what is on the market.
Can you help after I buy?
Yes. A snagging inspection can be arranged before handover, Khun Mark can oversee the home as a holiday or long-term let, and maintenance can be arranged while you are away.
