Thread: The Locals

Just returned from a 9-day real estate shopping trip that met our goals in every way thanks mostly to the kindess of the local people. Everywhere we turned we had local people providing us transport all across the island, finding us hotels, sharing meals and conversation with us, sharing their homes with us, advising us on our land purchase decision, providing us with notaris services and most importantly preventing us from making any costly mistakes along the way.

These locals only knew of us from recent telephone contact yet they jumped at the chance to assist us in all of the above ways with zero expectations in return. Even those we talked with for mere minutes along the way showed real concern for us and truly helped us beyond our wildest expectations.

We hope this part of Bali never leaves and we believe that to be what makes this island paradise.

Glad you had a great experience here.However a 5% commission on any real estate sales here, will get you exceptional service from everybody wanting to get a slice of the pie.

I pedal all over this island, and everywhere I go, I can never put on my riding glasses because there are too many kids/adults who want to connect with a smile in their eyes. This is a magical place. Happy you found the same. Good luck with your purchase, as I understand? it's very tricky to buy land where you have no rights to it. -AB in Berawa Beach and Santa Barbara

Amazing to see people who move across the world with luggage full of cynicism.

Sure, in this poster's situation, there are gonna be people who suck up in hopes of closing a deal and making money. That's true anywhere in the world.

But only in Bali is the land so full of smiles. Genuine smiles.

And to sit here in virtual world and claim differently shows you never go out the front door. You offer thousands of posts, but not a single insight. - AB in Berawa and Santa Barbara

PS: To Maria and Robert. If you do move here, stay far away from non locals who know more than locals.
