“JUST LISTENING TO THE PERSON AND LEARNING ABOUT THEM IS THE FIRST STEP.” – ANGELA
As an expatriate purchasing a luxury property, you deserve more than just an agent; you deserve a matchmaker.
At least this is the attitude of Angela Margaritelli, founder and agent for Luxury Lifestyle Estate, one of Thailand’s most exclusive real estate companies.
The concept behind matching a person to a property is similar to matching two people to one another. You first need to understand the fundamental values and needs of a person to know who they might feel a spark with.
For Angela, sitting down with a client and having a genuine person-to-person conversation is always the start of each property search.
“Just listening to the person and learning about them is the first step,” she said. “Finding out what kind of property or setting they are used to living in, and then learning what their lifestyle, social life, family dynamics, hobbies and interests are is all so important to recognize before you even think about what properties to show.”
It is this approach that has brought Angela her success in the industry, as it not only allows her to achieve quicker and more effective property showings but also helps her build strong and lasting relationships with her clients; a highly multinational list that she has been developing for over ten years.
Originally raised in the U.K by her Italian parents and having gained her experience by working on three different continents, she currently owns homes in Bangkok, Hua Hin, Dubai, Italy, and throughout the years has owned in England and Spain. It is her background in working with multinationals that gives her the expert qualities needed to successfully match her clients with the property of their dreams, regardless of where they may come from.
“I know what it’s like to pick up and move to a completely new place, and I know that in that situation it’s extremely important to live in a place that you love,” she said. “It’s so rewarding to see that spark; the joy and relief that [my clients] feel when I show them a property that will become their new home away from home.”
In addition to her genuine passion for her work, Angela’s focus on maintaining high levels of confidentiality and developing an acute knowledge of Thailand’s property market has allowed her to consistently deliver an exemplary level of stylish living to her high net-worth clientele.
