In Hua Hin and the surrounding area, LARF is synonymous with qualitative property management. The care of the area’s public areas, lawns and pools is highly praised. The same goes for the private gardens that many houses have. But LARF is much more than management. Today, LARF consists of three companies, LARF Co., Ltd is the real estate company that owns land and a few houses, Larf Property Management Co., Ltd. (LPM) is the management company and Rent House Hua Hin Co., Ltd. (RHHH) handles the rental of houses. All three companies go by the collective name LARF in everyday speech.
The qualitative administration has now been accompanied by qualitative documentation. Most homeowners today have a registered documentation at the country office regarding the ownership of houses (freehold or leasehold) and lease agreements (Lease Hold and Addendum) that extend over 30 years with an option for another 30 years after a new lease is written. Service agreements are made in area after area in consultation with “house groups”.
A solid CRM (customer relationship management) has been developed, which means that homeowners can easily follow up their status in terms of annual fees and how maintenance and renovations progress. LARF Co., Ltd. was established in 2010 and thus has more than 10 years of experience in management. Virtually all staff who handle the daily chores in areas managed by LARF have been involved from the beginning.
All in all, it can be said that the vast majority of people who live in LARF’s areas are satisfied homeowners, both those who have been involved since the 2000s and those who have recently bought a house. After many years of management and with many years of well-established contacts with homeowners, LARF has, after discussions and mature consideration, decided to also mediate the sale / purchase of houses. There are many reasons why LARF should mediate houses under the name Buy House Hua Hin (BHHH).
- BHHH knows homeowners and houses well after many years of management.
- BHHH has a database of prospective buyers via RHHH who have rented a house for many years.
- BHHH has staff on site when viewing houses and can answer all questions around a purchase.
- BHHH makes the houses attractive at the time of viewing, exhibits furniture, cleans and decorates.
- BHHH markets the houses via social media and websites.
- BHHH arranges photography of houses for sale.
- BHHH describes the advantages and disadvantages of the houses in writing in consultation with the homeowner
- BHHH has staff who know how all documentation is done at the country office.
- BHHH has staff who know the process of “yellow book” (address book).
- BHHH inspects all houses for sale, a security for both sellers and buyers.
- BHHH also mediates houses that do not have a management agreement with LPM.
- BHHH protects both sellers and buyers through guarantees that taxes and fees are paid.
- BHHH will at each individual house sale acquire knowledge of who owns the land.
- BHHH recommends house ownership and land lease.
