Contacts get a free valuation from our tool. Those thinking of selling are introduced to one partner agency, which pays us 15-30% of its commission at completion.

Certainty: The size of the network is not measured. Payment for introductions is established: 10-20% of commission in Bali (Balinews, 26 Jul 2026), 30% to start at MORE Group Phuket, and THB 50-100k flat at Phuket Realtor.

Cash: Estimate: one-hour legal reviews of the referral agreement and consent text in Indonesia and Thailand ($300-500 each), plus CRM and WhatsApp Business. Intros cost owner time only.

Result: Estimate for months 1-3: 30-50 owners contacted, of whom 10-20% are considering a sale in a soft Bali market and a rising Phuket market. Then 2-5 a month from second-degree referrals. Closed deals come 4-9 months later.

• Balinews: AREBI Bali referral 10-20% of commission (26 Jul 2026)
• Phuket Realtor referral program: THB 50,000 / 100,000

The post links to the valuation tool. Every completed valuation joins our list. Owners who want to sell are routed to a partner agency.

Certainty: Audience sizes were measured on t.me (2026-10-25), and the real-estate chats are big (Пхукет Недвижимость 12,816; Бали Недвижимость 9,250). The response rate is not published. Agencies and owners already post listings there, so we are not unique.

Cash: Chats do not publish post prices; Пхукет Барахолка says commercial and real-estate posts are paid (TGStat). Estimate: $30-150 per pinned or sponsored post, 4-6 posts a month.

Result: Estimate. Combined reach is about 300k members with heavy overlap. Most are tourists and renters; owners are perhaps 5-10%. Assumes 1-5 requests per post. Member counts were checked on t.me on 2026-10-25.

In an oversupplied market, buyers are the scarce side, so agencies pay for them readily and more surely.

Certainty: Buyer referral fees are published by several agencies, and demand is measured (Bangkok Post, Nation Thailand)

Cash: Estimate: it reuses the seller-side assets

Result: Estimate. Phuket Russian condo transfer value is up 75.9% year on year (H1 2026). Phuket Realtor pays THB 50,000-100,000 per buyer. MORE Group pays 30-50%. Bali Retirement Villages pays $1,250 per buyer.

• Phuket Realtor referral program
• Bali Retirement Villages: $1,250 per buyer
• Nation Thailand: Russian purchases +75.9%

Management companies know which owners are tired, underwater or leaving. The report gives them a reason to start that conversation, and we route the sellers to agencies.

Certainty: Incentives clash. A sale loses the management company a client, and many run their own sales desk (Wonderful Bali Villas sells at 5% on completion). They PAY to get owners (Betterplace 1-3% of gross rental revenue for 12 months), so they will hand over only owners who are leaving anyway.

Cash: Estimate: report generation is done by AI. Outreach is warm, plus a B2B email to firm addresses only.

Result: Estimate: 3-8 active partners out of about 60 contacted (Bali has 219 firms with 8,279 listings), each giving 0.3-1 seller a month

• Airbtics: 219 Bali management companies, 8,279 listings (Oct 2026)
• Betterplace partners: 30-50% of agency commission; 1-3% of gross rental revenue for 12 months (search snippet)
• Wonderful Bali Villas: sales at 5% on completion
• Inter Property Phuket referral: 3% of rent for the contract term

It is the landing page for every other channel. AI search and Google pick up the pages over time. Each completed valuation is scored for intent to sell.

Certainty: Search volume for owner-side ('sell my villa') queries is not measured. Asking-price indexes and calculators exist in English, so this is NOT uncrowded. The real gaps are Russian/Ukrainian language and the lease-years adjustment.

Cash: Estimate: domain, hosting and a market-data subscription (Airbtics/AirDNA Bali and Phuket). AI build cost is about $0.

Result: Estimate for months 6-9. English is crowded: Bali Villa Select has an ROI calculator, leasehold calculator and heatmaps; Eco Beach City has a leasehold cost calculator; Bukit Vista has a revenue calculator; Propertia publishes data on 16,000+ listings. No Russian or Ukrainian tool adjusted for lease years was found (not an exhaustive check).

Owners and investors subscribe to watch their asset's value. Every issue links to the valuation tool.

Certainty: Quarterly asking-price indexes exist (Bali Villa Select, 294 points, Jun 2026). No monthly or transaction-based index was found. Bali leasehold deals are not centrally published, so ours would also be asking-based.

Cash: Estimate: data subscription plus email tool. Listings are collected only where the terms allow it; the big portals return 403 to bots.

Result: Estimate: depends on admins reposting it in chats with 10-70k members

• Bali Villa Select Q3 2026 index (existing, quarterly)
• Bangkok Post Q1 2026 Phuket foreign transfers

Partners see owners at the moment they decide to exit

Certainty: No published referral rates from lawyers; trust takes time; many law firms are tied to agencies

Cash: Estimate: partner payouts come out of revenue. Visa firms already run partner programmes (Get Bali Visas).

Result: Estimate: 5-10 partners each giving 0.2-0.5 intros a month

Paid valuation requests are qualified by AI on lease years, papers, price expectation and timeline, then routed to agencies.

Certainty: No published Meta CPL for SELLER or owner leads in Bali or Phuket. Every published Phuket case is buyer-side.

Cash: Estimate: test budget $500-1,500 a month. Agencies that run property ads ask at least $2,000 a month in Southeast Asia plus a $750 fee (Webnostra).

Result: Real-estate Facebook CPL benchmarks: $16.61 (WordStream 2025) and $38 (AWISEE 2025). Seller leads cost $25-100+ (mostly US data). Phuket developer BUYER leads cost $8-50 (Webnostra). The foreign-owner audience is small and mixed with tourists, so a CPL of $17-65 is assumed.

• Webnostra real-estate cases (Phuket: $8/lead, $50 qualified lead, <$1,500/deal; min $2,000/mo)
• The Ad Spend: FB lead ads benchmarks for real estate (checked Jul 2026)

Face-to-face trust turns into seller conversations. The agency co-host pays part of the venue.

Certainty: Works if the owner is present and well known in the community. No published conversion data for owners' evenings.

Cash: Estimate: venue and drinks $300-800 per event (co-host shares the cost), plus flights and stay of $800-1,500 if the owner is not on the island. Power Property Expo Bali (14-16 Aug 2026) had 25+ vendors; its exhibitor fee is not published.

Result: Estimate per event (20-50 attendees), quarterly

• Power Property Expo Bali 2026

Editors cite the index, which brings links, AI citations and subscribers

Certainty: Depends on editors; Bali media is crowded with agency content

Cash: Estimate: earned media, no cost

Result: Estimate

• The Bali RealEstate Dispatch (weekly Substack)

We catch the few owners who search for a way out

Certainty: No published search volume. Agencies already bid on buyer terms. Owner-side search is tiny.

Cash: Thai-language real-estate CPC median is THB 8.4 (range 1.0-15.2; Relevant Audience, Oct 2026). Indonesia averages $0.38-0.76 (older ASEAN Up data). English seller-intent CPC and volume are not published. Estimate: $0.5-2 per click and a few hundred searches a month.

Result: Estimate: 500-1,500 clicks per $1k at a 1-2% conversion rate. Search volume is the binding limit.

• Relevant Audience: Thailand Google Ads CPC by industry (2026)

Agencies unlock owner details

Certainty: No agency pays for owner listings where listings are free and open (non-exclusive) listings are the norm

Cash: Estimate

Result: Listings are not scarce: Rumah123 46,485 Bali villas, FazWaz.id 16,858, FazWaz Phuket 24,543. Dalam Partner gives agencies unlimited free listings and enquiries. Bali Villa Hub and Balicasa already run owner-direct pages.

• Dalam Partner: free unlimited listings for Bali agencies
• Bali Villa Hub owners page
• Rumah123: 46,485 Bali villas for sale

Portal audience flows to the valuation tool

Certainty: Portals compete with us directly; no partner programme for outside lead desks was found

Cash: Estimate: outreach only

Result: Estimate. Portals sell leads and slots to agencies themselves, and FazWaz is also an agency, so they have no reason to send sellers to us. All portals returned 403 to automated fetches.

• FazWaz Phuket counts (search titles)

The developer refers flipping owners to us, and we route them to agencies

Certainty: Misaligned incentives; no published programme

Cash: Estimate

Result: Estimate. Developers compete with resales of their own units (resale is ~100k vs ~139k THB/m2 new in Phuket), so they will not push flippers out. Many run their own resale desks.
