Introducing Dennis Martino

As mentioned earlier in the newsletter, Dennis Martino has recently joined the Coastal Real Estate team.

Dennis started his career in real estate in Los Angeles in 1989 and soon developed a reputation as the “Rock & Roll Realtor” often showing houses in Doc Martins and tight black pants, not the typical attire for a real estate agent at the time.

He soon developed a core group of clients consisting of movie producers, directors and other behind the scenes types of people in the film industry.

It was during this time that Dennis developed his approach to working with clients; providing a high-level of service and listening to their needs. According to Dennis “you work for them, you learn all you can about the property you are selling and then give them the best advice possible based on that knowledge.”

Dennis plans to use the same approach here in Pattaya. He takes some time every week to go out and look at properties, often going along with other agents in the office on viewings just so he can learn as much as possible about the Pattaya market.

Although the nuances of the real estate market here are different than in the US Dennis feels that the same approach of being knowledgeable, honest and service oriented will help him succeed here as he did in the U.S.

If you are looking for a property and would like to talk to Dennis or have him come out to see a property you have listed or want to list, please feel free to contact him at dennis@coastalrealestatepattaya.com or call him at +66(0)62-298-2939.

The condo is a spacious 141 square meters with a nice floor plan, large balconies and amazing views of the marina, city and islands.

It has been very well finished and includes a large European style kitchen with plenty of cabinet space.

To view more images and details of this gorgeous condo please visit our site. C010962

It is offered for rent at 60,000 Baht per month with a minimum one year lease.

Final Thoughts

We have talked about infrastructure improvements in Pattaya in past newsletters. We know they can cause a lot of frustration while in progress but in the end, they help make our city a better place to live.

Dongtan Beach is currently undergoing a renovation and while there is a lot of grumbling from some of the vendors and locals it will look much better when completed.

Our advice is to be patient and adopt the “mai pen rai” attitude of the Thais. In other words, “don’t worry it’s okay.”

As always, thank you for reading the newsletter and remember to contact me personally at kevin@coastalrealestatepattaya.com if there is anything I can do for you. Alternatively, stop by our office on Soi Diana next to Megabreak or at our new office in Welcome Town.

When it comes to luxury living in Pattaya, few neighborhoods match the prestige, beauty, and exclusivity of Pratumnak Hill. This elevated enclave offers the perfect balance between city convenience and tranquil coastal living — a combination that continues to attract high-end buyers from around the world. Prime Location with Breathtaking ViewsPerched between Pattaya and Jomtien, Pratumnak Hill enjoys one of the most enviable positions on the Eastern Seaboard. Many condos in Pratumnak boast panoramic views of the Gulf of Thailand, stunning sunsets, and the sparkling city skyline. The hill’s elevation not only provides a cooler breeze but also creates a sense of privacy and separation from the busier districts below.Exclusive Property OptionsPratumnak is home to some of the city’s most sought-after residences — from ultra-modern villas with infinity pools to high-rise condominiums with 5-star facilities. Land plots are rare and highly valued, making existing luxury homes especially desirable. Whether buyers are looking for a lavish holiday retreat or a permanent residence, Pratumnak offers properties that meet the highest standards of design and comfort.A Peaceful Yet Connected LifestyleOne of Pratumnak Hill’s greatest strengths is its balance of tranquility and accessibility. Residents can enjoy peaceful, low-traffic streets and lush greenery, yet still be just minutes away from Pattaya’s vibrant dining, shopping, and entertainment options. The beaches here are quieter than those in central Pattaya, offering a more relaxed seaside experience.Proximity to Top AmenitiesLuxury buyers appreciate convenience, and Pratumnak delivers. The area is close to international restaurants, boutique cafes, golf courses, marinas, and high-end shopping malls. Quality healthcare is also nearby, with leading hospitals just a short drive away. For families, international schools in Pattaya and surrounding areas are within easy reach.Strong Investment PotentialWhile lifestyle is a major draw, Pratumnak Hill also offers compelling investment opportunities. Limited land availability and high demand from both Thai and foreign buyers help support long-term value appreciation. Rental demand, particularly for short-term stays in high-end villas and condos, remains strong due to the area’s reputation and prime location.The Allure ContinuesIn a market that is always evolving, Pratumnak Hill continues to hold its place as Pattaya’s most prestigious address. Its combination of scenic beauty, exclusive properties, convenient location, and investment stability ensures it remains a top choice for discerning buyers who want the very best the city has to offer.

Each option has distinct benefits and financial implications, as follows:Renting costsMinimal: A security deposit of 2 months' rent and the first month's rent upfrontOngoing rent: MonthlyNo maintenance costsBuying costsPurchase price of the propertyClosing costsLegal feesProperty taxesFluctuating property prices that seem set to continue rising in a thriving real estate marketMaintenance: Owners are responsible for upkeepLifestyle Flexibility: Which Option Suits Your Stay in PattayaFor those intending to make Pattaya their permanent home or those planning an investment, it may make sense to buy rather than rent. However, with competitive rental prices, many choose to rent. The lifestyle flexibility of renting property in Pattaya is a major advantage for some, because they can move to another property easily and simply at the end of their lease. People with families and other long-term commitments often like to make the property their forever home, with various upgrades and renovations that fulfil their vision of the perfect place to live, which is not generally possible to do in a rental property. Ultimately, it’s all about the desired lifestyle, long-term goals, and their current situation as to whether renting or buying is the best option.The Bottom LineRenting property in Pattaya offers ultimate flexibility and lower upfront costs. It is ideal for those who prefer short-term stays or have uncertain plans.Buying property in Pattaya offers long-term stability and high-yield investment potential, but it requires a substantial financial commitment, careful planning, and professional assistance.Market Trends and Legal Considerations for Foreign Buyers in PattayaMarket TrendsPattaya remains a desirable hot spot for property investment in Thailand. Foreign investors are particularly drawn to buying property in Pattaya due to its consistent growth, vibrant social scene, stable rental market, and dependable profitability. Navigating these trends and legalities requires careful planning and professional advice from experts like those at Coastal Real Estate. Some key trends in the property market for expats when considering property for sale in Pattaya include:Rising property pricesAs the demand for quality Pattaya real estate for sale continues to grow, the price per square meter for condos is keeping pace.High potential rental yieldsMany areas already offer impressive returns for rental properties, and more are being developed and improved constantly.Government regulations and policiesTaxes and local regulations shape the market to incentivize foreign investment.Legal ConsiderationsSpecific restrictions and opportunities apply to foreign investors when buying property in Pattaya, as follows:Condominium ownershipForeigners are restricted to owning a maximum of 49% of the total area in any condominium building, ensuring that the majority of ownership remains with Thai nationals. This creates a highly competitive foreigner quota market, often driving up unit prices. Individuals unable to secure a condo within the quota can negotiate leasehold agreements or form a majority Thai ownership company.Contact Coastal Real Estate TodayIf you’re ready to learn more about Pattaya real estate rental or purchases and find exclusive luxury property for sale in Pattaya, look no further than Coastal Real Estate.We offer an exceptional collection of properties for sale in Pattaya, along with the knowledge, expertise, and experience you need.
