The enquiry
A partner introduced a Moscow buyer with a budget of USD 100,000 to 200,000. The buyer had not visited Thailand since 2014, was unfamiliar with Phuket’s neighbourhoods and planned to arrive in June. The source does not specify the year of the enquiry.
The team’s approach
The local agent helped the buyer settle in and arranged viewings. Chalong did not fit, so the search moved to Nai Harn and Rawai. After comparing areas, the buyer changed the brief from a one-bedroom apartment to a compact studio. The agent revisited selected sites, recorded detailed videos and presented assignment options.
A special offer then became available at a residence the buyer had already viewed. The team discussed it with the developer and agreed a schedule of 50% at the initial stage, followed by 50% one year after receiving the keys. This helped the buyer decide.
The outcome
The buyer reserved a 36 m² studio in Nai Harn priced at THB 4,320,000. The account describes a 50/50 payment schedule, with the second payment due one year after receiving the keys. Partner commission is not stated.

What an agent can take from this
A buyer returning after years away may need to understand the neighbourhoods and payment schedule more than they need another shortlist. These instalment terms belong to this case and are not a current offer.
