Phuket Property Manager vs Lofty
Lofty Phuket and Phuket Property Manager both manage villas and condos for owners in Phuket, on different models. Lofty publishes 20 percent all-inclusive and runs 250+ properties in English. We start at 10 percent, quoted per property, with the two directors running every account. Which fits depends on what you want from a manager.

Being fair about it
When each is likely the better fit.
Lofty may suit you better if
you want one all-in rate with nothing quoted separately, you value the systems of a large operation and a self-service owner portal, and English suits you for everything.
We may suit you better if
you want a lower starting rate with the base and the extras written down, contractor invoices passed through without a margin, no exit charge, and the two directors answering you in English, French or Thai.
Either way, compare one booking
An all-inclusive 20 percent and a from-10 percent rate with some items billed at cost only become comparable on a real booking. Ask both companies to work the same week through to what you receive.
