Terje H. Nilsen is the Principal at Ray WhiteParadise Property Group, the branch of the famous Australian real estatecompany located in the most lucrative part of Bali, Seminyak. Nielsen, originally from Norway, fell in lovewith Indonesia a long time ago when, just a kid, with his parents he wasvisiting this beautiful part of Asia. After many years in the militareeducation he decided to continue his studies in finance and manangement. In1993, he was about to buy a hotel in Norway but instead he decided to leaveevrything behind and start a new life in Indonesia.

In 2004, Terjie Nielsen moved to Bali with his wifeand kids starting some projects in Hotel and Leisure Industry with a particulaattention to train local employees. In 2005 he joined Mark Vernon Tuck andcreate the Paradise Property Bali real estate company, that met a great successin the island due to its ability to listen and understand clients needs.In 2005 Terje H. Nilsen and his partner Mark Tuckdecided to join the Ray White company creating the Ray White Paradise PropertyGroup with the objective of creating the biggest network of real estate inBali.

Talking about investments in Bali real estate,Nielsen underlines the importance of preserving Bali’s cultural values thatmake the island a unique destination worldwide, the main reason why turists areattracted to Bali is its people, their smiles, their traditions. A number ofsurveys about the tourism industry in Asia showed that Bali is one of thefavorite destinations in the world and the base of that is definitively it’sculture. Nilsen explains, “it’s the culture that brings turists to Bali”. Nilsentells that one of the great characteristics about Bali is the island's respectfor traditions and their ancestors. For example the fact that when building ahouse you can not surpass the height of the nearest temple.

The Norwegian man is also worried about theecological context, the buildings should be subjected to more regulation andthe investors should have more social awareness when they construct, respectingthe communty, the laws and the traditions of the island, just thinking at thereturn of investment and no concern about locals, that’s why there areconstructions in the green zone or near temples. The property business in Baliis brand new that’s why there are less regulations or people don’t follow thembut this is changing, the politic is gettino stronger and the government isfocused on that and if they regulate properly the island will get largeinvestments from larger groups wich doesn’t happen now.

In addition Nilsen speaks to genuine investorswarning them to get the right informations about what and where they can build,a real estate agent must be clear and transparent about the land or house hewants to sell and must understand the needs of the client, helping him findwhat it suits him better.

Terje H. Nilsen thinks that evry area of Bali has itscharme, an indivual buyer has a lot of choice from the busy town to the morerelaxing areas with beautiful beaches. The area of Seminyak is certainly themost requested, prices double evry 3 years, but all Bali has a great potential,such as the bukit and west Bali and the tourism is spreading all around theisland. “during the crisis of 2008/ 2009 Bali experienced a growth of 40%”explains Terjie H. Nilsen promote the college gateway in Bali for the Norvegian students.

“Bali will always be at the centre ofIndonesian tourism” concludes the Norwegian man, “there are islands morebeautiful than Bali, but Bali is its friendly people and its attractiveculture”.

Location in Bali

The Island of Bali is the perfect place for family holidays. With beautiful scenic surroundings, fantastic beach locations and so much to see and do both day and night, there really is something for everyone in Bali.
Whether you have 1 child of 3 years or children aged 5 or 25 there really is no problem in finding something to keep them interested or simply someone to take care of them. Baby sitters are supplied in most of the Hotels, and the Balinese people simply love children.
Of course when planning a trip to Bali a family must decide where you want to stay. Your Bali holiday is going to be centered on your choice in Hotel and with over 3000 properties on the Island ranging from 5 Star Luxury Hotels and Resorts, to 2 and 3 Star budget accommodations such as Home Stays and Bungalows, there really is somewhere to stay for everyone.
Most important aspects to look at when choosing a Hotel would be:
1. What is the Location of the Hotel you are looking for? Is it a Beach and Full on entertainment location you require, or something quiet, tranquil and away from the hustle and bustle of the islands tourism?
2. One you have decided on the location, you then need to take a think about what features and facilities your accommodation should have. Do you need a Hotel with All Inclusive packages? Are you looking for simple Bed and Breakfast? Do you need a Children’s play area or swimming pool for the kids? Be careful and some hotels may not be suitable for children and more suited to stag and hen party groups. Do you require wireless internet access in your room, or is a simple internet café in the lobby enough for you.
3. If you budget is a little tight, or you are looking for luxury, you need to identify a Hotel / Resort that matches your budget. Also does the hotel you are looking for have family special offers, or discounts for children.
4. Once you have chosen your Hotel you need to look at the transfer to and from the Hotel and Airport. Quite often if traveling with a family a private transfer or Hotel Transfer is more convenient and less stress free, so make sure when you are booking your Hotel that you are able to organize a hassle free transfer.
5. If you are looking for something a little more private and perhaps more homely, Bali now has many private luxury villa to offer. Features of these are 1, 2, and 3 to 6 bedrooms, beautiful gardens, large swimming pools, TV, Internet, Butler and Maid Service. Again and ideal options if you are looking for more of a family home environment.
6. Depending on your departure flight time, it would be also an idea to arrange/ book a late check out. Having to get dress and ready before lunchtime for a midnight flight can often prove a nightmare if you have children, and uncomfortable for the much dreaded 10+ hour flight home.
With so much to see and do in Bali, and of course with time of the essence when only here for 1 or 2 weeks, making sure you have the perfect hotel for your needs, simply gets your holiday of to a great start. If you need some friendly and objective advice when choosing accommodation that’s perfect for you, do not hesitate to contact letushelp@balibookhotel.com we will be only to happy to hear from you.

The people come to Bali for the beautiful beaches as well as the fascinating culture. If your visit to Bali is more than a few days and your first visit should be then you'll want to split your time between two places, such as the beach and the cultural center of Ubud.As a Balinese realtor, I act in so many capacities, helping my clients choose from hundreds of Bali communities to pick the one that best suits their needs and tropical lifestyles. I help them analyze what they truly want out of a community, how close they want to be to their jobs, what schools they want their children to attend, how close they want to be to beaches, golf courses and/and shopping. There are dozens and dozens of things every buyer needs to consider and I try to make sure that all these issues are addressed before they make a purchase so that they are truly happy with the purchase that they make and have no regrets later. I'm part lawyer, negotiator, relationship counselor, activities director, investment advisor, repair coordinator, travel agent, ms fix-it, organizer, etc. I have arranged for repairs to be made to my clients homes months after they have moved in and helped them settle everything from tax issues to deed issues to unpaid btok fee issues even years after their purchase. My clients will tell you that they firmly believe that I earn my money by Real estate. The referrals they send me tell me that - along with the thank you letters, gifts and wonderful emails that I receive from them.

Please know that I'm not complaining. I love doing this work and I'd never go back to law as long as I can continue to practice real estate. There is nothing better than helping someone buy the home that they will raise their children in or spend their retirement in. There is even a certain joy in helping my clients with their investments because those investments eventually translate into a lifetime of security for my clients and I was able to help make that happen for them.

It is a privilege to do what I do and it is a shame that companies like Redfin try to discount the enormity and responsibility of what a balinese relator does and is supposed to do for their clients.
