The agency everything started with. Development came to the group later, but selection stayed independent: we start from your brief only, and use what we know about construction to vet other developers' projects harder.
The group began as a real estate agency on Phuket. In time a development arm followed — Layan Verde, Layan Green Park, La Vista Villas. The agency stayed a separate business with the same principle: we select to the client's brief, not to our own construction sites. That is why clients have chosen us for years. Development gave us something else — we know construction from the inside: budgets, schedules, general-contractor agreements, where a project breaks. So we vet other developers' projects harder than an agent who has never built, and we list the downsides of our own projects in the same catalog cards as everyone else's. In any project the contract is signed directly with the developer at its price list, with no mark-up.
We define the goal (live / rent out / preserve capital), filter the market through the catalog and off-market lots, show in person or online.
Developer, land title, quotas, contract. We hunt red flags before the deposit, not after.
Price and terms negotiation, FET transfer, Land Department registration — end to end.
Our own management company: maintenance, reporting, rental pool in the group’s projects.
We rent the unit out and track occupancy and payouts. The owner sees numbers, not promises.
Tap a stagebudget, schedule, general contractor and permits — we know where a project's risk sits because we have been through those stages ourselves
the whole island catalog, developer price with no mark-up, contract signed directly with the developer
Medians of “from” prices across our catalog projects; recalculated with every update.
New developments and completed complexes across the island: prices from, completion dates, ownership structure and our honest take. As an agency we can source and sell a unit in any of them — at the developer price.
Describe the task — selection, sale, rental, management or concierge — and I’ll take it on personally and keep you updated on the status.
They are two arms of one group. VillaCarte Group is the development arm, the developer of Layan Verde and Layan Green Park. Layan Real Estate is the agency the group started with; it remained a separate business and selects properties across the whole island catalog. We sell VillaCarte Group projects as a partner under a referral agreement; the purchase contract is signed directly with the developer.
Only if they fit your brief. Every shortlist includes alternatives from other developers, and we write the pros and cons of our own projects in the same catalog cards as everyone else's. If you want a sunset view in Karon, we will not suggest Layan Verde.
