Premier Homes specializes in the exclusive end of the Pattaya Property Market, with well over 4,500 properties recorded in over 15 years. Its MD, Clayton Wade, has been in the real estate industry for over 25 years, both here and in the United States, where he was licensed and practiced both real estate sales and property management in Seattle. He is now a Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS) and is proud to have brought the professionalism of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) to Pattaya.
One of Clayton’s claims to fame is that he was personally responsible for bringing in the first 53 General Motors executives for the ‘start up phase’ of Thailand’s General Motors manufacturing facility and had a three year exclusive with the company. Following that, he placed almost all of the ‘start up’ executives for the Eastern Seaboard’s BMW manufacturing facility. Apart from actually placing these execs, he was also able to settle them into their rented executive homes, an experience he has capitalised on and he remains one of the most trusted and reliable rental agents on the Eastern Seaboard, not least because of his American rental market experience, supplemented by his extremely extensive and fundamental knowledge of the Pattaya Property Market; where he has been operating very successfully as one of the ‘big names’, ably assisted by his wife, Khun Supap, in excess of fourteen years. Not only have Clayton and Supap jointly partnered Premier Homes, but they have also nurtured and launched on their careers a significant number of other real estate agents in the Pattaya-Jomtien region.
Clayton is also highly respected by the property media, both nationally and in the Asia-Pacific region, and he has written for some of the most respected magazines and property sections of such media outlets as the Bangkok Post, Property Report Thailand (PRT), Tropical Homes Magazine, Real Estate Magazine Thailand, Big Chilli Magazine, and Thailand Homes & Condos. His media contributions have not been confined to ‘the print’, however; his expertise in the property field, specialising in the Eastern Seaboard, has been avidly sought by the producers of a number of Asia-Pacific property shows, including the SMART International Property Shows in Singapore and Hong Kong, where he has been a guest speaker, and not merely in this locale, but also appearing on CNBC’s Managing Asia programme.
This introduction inevitably leads on to Clayton’s latest media success, namely his involvement in the latest and one of the most prestigious property forums in the Asia-Pacific region, the nationally televised ‘Property Profile‘; Clayton’s role being that of resident property consultant. The show is currently being broadcast on Pattaya Plus and in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Hua Hin, and Koh Samui, as well as in over 5,000 rooms of certain well known 5-star hotels.
The programme fills a badly needed niche, namely providing an insight into leading property developers, company profiles and providing an authoritative view of latest trends and future developments in the Thai Property Market. ‘Property Profile On TV’ was conceived by Capital TV executive and producer, Les Nyerges, of ‘Destination Thailand’ fame, sponsored by repected developer Rony Fineman of the Nova Group, hosted and presented by Rod McNeil, and has the backing of the leading Thai property media tycoon, Terry Blackburn, MD of Ensign Media, the publishers of the various SE Asia Property Reports and the organizers for the prestigious Thailand Property Awards. Terry has graciously agreed to feature the show directly from the PRT international website, being suitably impressed with the show’s format, concept and guest profiles.
Inevitably, among the first accolades given by the show were to this year’s ‘Best-of-the-Best, namely the winners of the various categories of the Thailand Property Awards. Thus featured were the 2008 and 2009 winners of the Best Villa Development, Eastern Seaboard, as well as winners of the Green Development Award, Horseshoe Point properties, The Village and The Residence, and their developer, Jate Sopitpongstorn, whom Clayton, in his capacity as the Eastern Seaboard’s Head Judge and organizer for this year’s Thailand Property Awards, congratulated on his triple achievement. Also featured was The Sanctuary, the winners of the 2009 Best Condominium Award, Eastern Seaboard.
Viewers will also have been intrigued to see the interview with one of Thailand’s most prominent property personalities, Nigel Cornick, erstwhile CEO of Raimon Land, among the most prestigious property developers in the kingdom and internationally, that effectively kick-started the most recent property boom in Pattaya. Nigel is now the CEO of Binswanger Brooker (Thailand), and insider info has it that he is about to perform the same feat for Pattaya once again by pioneering a “new and exciting project concept” that “could pioneer the development of the next property boom location for Thailand’s Eastern Seaboard.” Very welcome news for Pattaya in these days of dire and dark depression! Another innovative feature for ‘Property Profile’ will be an ‘on air’ real estate classified property presentation that Les Nyerges maintains will “Break ground for Thailand’s televised real estate industry” that Clayton and Rod are currently working on.
