ไทย Erick (Abe) Rubin, Manager of PropertySights Real Estate:
“Hello and nice to meet you,
My name is Erick and I am the Managing Director here at Rubin Global Co., Ltd. I wanted to introduce myself, provide a little information about my background and of course, my vision for the company.
My journey into real-estate began at Ariel University in Israel, where I studied a BA hons degree in Economics and Business Management, with a minor in Real Estate Appraisal. Upon graduating, I became a real estate assessor in a local Law and Appraisal firm before moving on to my employment at Anglo-Saxon, Israel’s largest real estate brokerage corporation.
With more knowledge and experience gained after learning from the best in the field, I moved to Singapore, where I began promoting Australian real-estate in the Singaporean markets. I gained a lot of real-life business experience and developed a better understanding of the business foundations and demands.
All this knowledge in tow, I then made my final move, to Bangkok. Lured in originally by the laid-back lifestyle, prominent culture, and rapid development. Bangkok quickly became a home from home. Thailand is affectionately referred to as ‘The land of smiles’ because of the friendly and approachable population. I aim to keep this tradition alive, ensuring that myself and the PropertySights Real Estate team are always happy to help and provide service with a smile.
Having worked in Israel, Singapore, and of course, Thailand, I am well-accustomed to the search for ‘The perfect property and location’ and know how tedious the research process can be. This is why I want to provide my readers with all the information they need in one place, helping them to make BIG decisions, with LITTLE effort.
