We have changed the window signage.
It was getting a bit faded so we completely redesigned the window and door signs to include the services of Pattaya Business Alliance

Pleased to be asssociated with PATTAYA BUSINESS ALLIANCE (PBA)

I know it's taken some time for this to hit NEWS but we decided to work more closely with PBA in early 2020 and they have now moved into our offices on Welcome Town.

PBA offer a full range of sevicers that complement our established real estate services and we have their expersise on-hand rather than having to outsource.

Check out the full range of services that PBA offer as they will suprise you!
Visas, Work Permits etc are made easy for you, but coupled with legal and accountancy services, translation...and... well take a look, thie list of services is impressive

Welcome on board PBA

THE OFFICE IS OPEN

Even through the worst of COVID-19 the office was open

Please see the previous POST

As Pattaya is getting back to normal the staffing levels have increased with most staff working at least 3-days-a-week in the office

Some of us are still working 8 hours a day from home (6-7 days a week)

I'm sure that we will get there and Pattaya will be swinging again!

Stay Safe
Love 
Rob and #TeamFiveStarPattaya

The COVID-19 virus has changed the way that we work

Significantly!

At the time of writing this, 6 April 2020, the office remains open (but locked - you can see who comes to the door) because one member of staff feels more comfortable in the "sterile" office environment than staying at home in a Thai apartment block. Sleeping there is enough.
This person is washing their hands with sanitizer every hour and wears a face mask in the office and when going to and from the car.
Anybody who wants to enter the office environment has to wear a face mask and sanitize their hands.
We have sanitizer dispensers on reception and on the first desk.

I am sure that this will change over the next few days and we will be on total lockdown.

Other staff are either on holiday or working from home.

All we can do is stay safe, stay healthy, exercise and stretch as much as possible, keep in contact with friends and loved ones and offer on-line support.

Stay Safe
Love 
Rob and #TeamFiveStarPattaya

The CIPS certificate finally arrives!
After what seems like an eternity the CIPS certificate finally arrived from NAR in Chicago.

Robert completed the course, passed the exams and met the criteria set by NAR to become a Certified International Property Specialist in October 2013 so it was nice to finally recveive the certificate and CIPS pin from Khun May Watson, the REBA-ES President, at the REBA-ES Lunch at the Hilton Hotel in Pattaya today.

Robert addresses the CIPS graduates and VIP guests

At the CIPS Graduation Dinner on Friday, 11 October 2013 Robert was asked to address the CIPS graduates and VIP guests. Although not one for public speaking Robert soon had their attention with his "Armed and Dangerous" speech!

Robert is now CIPS !

On Friday, 11 October 2013 Robert qualified as a Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS) by completing the course, passing the exams and meeting the strict criteria set by NAR.
