How does one sell SECURE Off Plan homes in Thailand?


If ever there was a case of ‘chicken and egg’, this is the one. With just over 50% sold at all three sites the developers behind X2 Resorts and Residences are about to announce a construction start date. Now we all know that if we want to buy at the lowest possible prices in Thailand we have to buy at the pre-launch stage. But of course, with all the death and destruction we have all witnessed in recent years where pre-launch sites stay as just that, would any of us take that risk any more?

Let us assume none of us want to take that risk and that we would rather wait until after construction starts, well honestly is that any true sign that the site will get fully completed? No, so once again even 3 months into construction we are going to be taking a risk. So how does one manage to buy off plan without risk, and how does one sell off plan to buyers and assure them there is no risk?
 X2 Resorts and Residences are, unbeknown to many, part of a very very large Hotel & Resort Company who don’t just develop resorts and homes, they also offer full consultancy services, feasibility studies, JV, full management and operations etc. In turn this whole operation is part of/aligned with Thailand’s biggest Property Company. In fact, unbeknown to many the X2 Residences brand is the most secure off plan development in Thailand. I can say that with total confidence and can prove as such should anyone wish to challenge that claim as I know all the companies who are behind X2, and believe me we are talking as big as it gets in Thailand.

But still, this is all just talk. How does one actually make buyers see that now is their last chance to buy at prices that of course are going to be 20-30% below those at site completion? How does one manage to convince the market place that this is a very genuine and real opportunity that if not acted upon will result in disappointment?

Of course a lot of what I am asking here is rhetorical, but I would be interested to hear from any brokers both Thailand based and overseas based who truly believe they can crack such a nutty market.

X2 Residences Koh Kood now boasts the best beach on the island

One can only marvel at modern technologies in construction when one sees a site such as this in Thailand Real Estate and Hospitality industries. As we draw close to the end of the year, many of the upgrades and improvements at X2 Koh Kood have been completed, not least this stunning 200 meter stretch of pure white sand beach front.




Long ago visions dreamt up by the development team at X2 Resorts & Residences have now become this stunning reality. And the reality is that this could very well be the very best and most private stretch of beach from on all of Koh Kood. Due to the unique headland position of X2, it is highly unlikely this stretch of beach will ever be populated or used by anyone other than resort guests or residence owners. Thus the X2 Koh Kood beach enters into island folklore.

There can be no doubt that the creation of this beach will now have a quite profound affect on future value of the privately owned residences being created at this wonderful site and with only 5 villas and 3 apartments remaining on sale, time is of the essence for all those who want to own a luxury ltd. edition home at what is at present still a very low price.

Indeed this is not the only improvement that has been made at X2 Koh Kood, or indeed to the island, which now in itself has a new superb luxury high speed ferry service up and running from the new pier station at Trat……..watch out for more news on this coming soon. X2 Residences Koh Kood, perhaps the best Real Estate on offer in Thailand.

Greetings one and all

There are quite literally thousands of people out there who would dearly love to buy a luxury home in Thailand, and indeed there are literally thousands to choose from. This of course fraught with problems, as most buyers know very little about the market here in Thailand and are as such at the whim of the developer and or real estate agent. 

Of course it is very unlikely a developer will tell you not to buy his property as he believes vigorously in his site, and as he should. And despite what people may believe, agents are not necessarily dishonest, but with hundred of properties for sale on their website it is impossible for them to truly know which ones are secure, trustworthy, financially stable and of correct quality. 

Hence Siam Distinction is born. We will never host more than around 25 property developments on sale i would think, this way we truly can know all about the developer, the product and thus the viability of what they offer and thus give accurate correct and fruitful. We have been in Thailand working in the business for many years and as such we have learned to do our own levels of due diligence. We firmly believe we can protect our buyers interests whilst still representing the developer to the fullest as an agent should. 

If you do genuinely want to buy but have fears, misgivings and in general are a little confused, drop us an email and we will take through all the pros and cons, the processes, the ownership issues, financing, rental programs, management fees, the whole nine yards. Rest assured that we will present this information to you warts and all leaving out none of the ugliness and potential pitfalls. We want you to know the whole story before you buy your dream home so that it remains just that for your lifetime.
