The past few weeks have been particularly intense for the Holiplanet Real Estate Network, marked by initiatives that strengthen its mission: fostering exchange, cooperation, and real opportunities for growth, training, and meaningful connections for real estate professionals seeking to stand out in an increasingly international market. Two developments deserve special mention. The first is the official opening of the Academy for new real estate agents, created in partnership with Trebs and under the guidance of Dr. Sopon. The second is the launch of a new season of active networking, culminating in participation at the Bangkok seminar dedicated to selling property to foreign investors, a national event that brought together leading professionals and associations.
The Opening of the Academy for New Real Estate Agents
One of the most significant milestones has been the launch of the Academy for new real estate agents. This project marks a new phase for Holiplanet, which is now investing structurally in the training of those who wish to enter the profession with a modern and international perspective.
Thanks to the support of Trebs, a highly respected institution in Thailand, and the leadership of Dr. Sopon, the academy has been conceived as a true laboratory of skills. Beyond theoretical knowledge, the program includes a practical path coordinated by experienced agents within the network who serve as tutors and create working subgroups. The curriculum covers sales processes, legal frameworks, negotiation techniques, digital marketing, and above all, client management skills. The aim is to train professionals ready to face the market from day one, equipped to operate with competence in a global context that demands preparation, adaptability, and professionalism.
Networking Among Thailand Real Estate Brokers
Alongside training, Holiplanet has launched a structured program of networking, creating opportunities for agents to meet, exchange ideas, share experiences, and build new collaborations.
The highlight of these efforts was participation in the Bangkok seminar on September 27, which focused on selling real estate to foreign investors. The seminar served as a strategic guide for those looking to work with international investors. It emphasized partnerships with global associations such as the China Investors Association, the Myanmar Investors Association, and Hong Kong-Europe representatives, highlighting how access to qualified networks can significantly increase opportunities for success.
Participants particularly valued the case studies presented, which examined successful property sales in Phuket, Samui, Pattaya, Hua Hin, and Bangkok. These examples demonstrated how the right mix of marketing, legal insight, and market understanding can translate into tangible results.
A key focus was on the importance of understanding local laws and cultural expectations. Markets such as China, India, Europe, and the United States were analyzed in depth, showing how restrictions on foreign ownership, purchasing procedures, tax implications, and cultural factors all play a decisive role in successful transactions.
Speakers and Shared Expertise
The seminar featured contributions from renowned international experts, including Salvatore Parisi Managing Partner of Holiplanet Real Estate Network and President for FIABCI-THAI Phuket, Clayton Wade from Pattaya, and Dr. Sopon Pornchokchai of FIABCI-THAI and AREA. Legal specialists and representatives from the Department of Lands also contributed, ensuring a comprehensive discussion that blended global perspectives with local technical expertise.
The presentations underscored the importance of adopting targeted strategies for presenting properties to a global audience. Beyond theory, participants received practical tools and a more conscious approach to navigating the complexities of the international market.
Opportunities for Phuket and Holiplanet
The seminar reaffirmed Phuket’s growing role as a premier destination for foreign investors. The island is no longer just a world-class tourist destination but is increasingly positioned as a stable and profitable real estate hub. For Holiplanet, which has its operational core in Phuket, this represents a unique chance to connect its agents not only with local clients but with an international pool of investors.
The synergy between the academy and networking creates a dynamic ecosystem. New agents trained through Trebs programs and guided by Dr. Sophorn and Holiplanet Tutors can immediately put their skills into practice, working directly with international investors and real-world cases. Training provides the foundation, while the network of connections acts as a catalyst for turning theory into real opportunities.
Looking Ahead
Holiplanet’s path forward is clearly defined. In the coming months, the focus will be on expanding its multicultural network of agents and strengthening training activities, with the ambition of making the academy and network a benchmark in Asia. At the same time, efforts will continue to consolidate relationships with investor associations and regulatory bodies, while intensifying participation in international fairs and exhibitions. Phuket is set to become an even stronger launchpad, connecting local opportunities with global markets and serving as a strategic platform for well-prepared agents and qualified investors.
The past weeks mark an important chapter in the Holiplanet Real Estate Network’s journey. The opening of the academy, the development of networking activities, and participation in the Bangkok seminar confirm the network’s ability to combine high-level training, international relationships, and a long-term vision.
In a competitive and constantly evolving market, Holiplanet shows that success lies in preparation, connections, and a global outlook. With strong foundations already laid, the future promises growth, stability, and new opportunities.
