He walks up to him and says “Can I see your real estate license, please?” The driver responds “Don’t you mean my driver’s license?” “No,” says Bapak Polisi “Not everyone in Bali has one of those.” Talking about too many real estate agents. If they all would be ethical and interested in your benefits, no need to come up with jokes like this. I am sitting here and think about what I can do to contribute anything meaningful for our clients today? I shall write my idea down now, maybe to go with the next monthly newsletter. Just to say again a ‘thank you’ to our buyers and vendors. ‘Thank you kindly for your trust.‘ As in the month’ before, we will now talk a little about the business of property buying and selling. Today mostly the vendors may find some useful morsels in and between the lines.)))

htmlspecialchars(A friend said to me: “Everything God’s got, you guys here in Bali seem to have two of“ This was Tony, a guy who retired with 45 from his business in Broome, Australia. Broome, as you may know, is famous for pearl production and there I think he made nice piles of money and sure understands what ’the good life’ means. Now he says he is focusing on living healthy in body and mind, which you would believe instantly, could you only see him. I did. I met him in the gym. So we see, he is reasonably young, rich and healthy, is good looking and all – well, I did not dive into his personal affairs but would think that he got this sorted out pretty well too. Would we then say that is probably all there is to leading a fulfilled life? He even goes every year to Europe ’to catch up with culture’, he says. He often travels to India for ’a bit of meditation and bumming around on the beaches’’ So I asked him: ’you know the world - why don’t you live anywhere else?’)

Well, let’s talk about such horse purchase in a moment. First I’d like to tell you about a very recent experience, which fit’s spot-on today’s theme. Yesterday, late evening, the UbudProperty Team of 20 happy souls returned from a 3-day tour to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Last year the team has worked hard, customers and vendors in were happy and this reward trip over the weekend did hardly interrupt the office’s work anyway, but it was fun and gave some interesting new insights. You see, 15 years ago I was in Malaysia for the first time. I went per hire car all around the country and although interesting at the time, I was not particularly impressed by what I saw . Exception: The Cameron Highlands, well known for the tea production there. All else to my memory was “so so”. Was I in for a surprise! This time being there was like moving into a different Country all together.Oodles of new high-tech))))))

For some time already I am in the habit of writing some monthly comments about life in and around Ubud, usually in relation to what we know and experience at the office of UbudProperty. Maybe some of you have on occasions read along, but that still did not tell you much about this dedicated property agency, which tries to combine the love for it’s unique location Ubud and for the local community, together with sound professional advice about how to go about smartly investing into property here. Let’s take a quick look at who we are and what makes us, the team of UbudProperty, a little bit different from the rest – After all who does not want to know with whom he/she is dealing?
