AsiaInvest, a financial and investment advisory firm with operations in Vietnam and Singapore, was formed in 2008 to help foreign investors who want to establish a foothold in Vietnam, says Nguyen Ngoc Bach, its chairman and CEO. To better assist new entrants into the country, the AsiaInvest group now has a legal arm (AsiaLaw) as well AsiaReal, which offers real estate marketing and distribution services.

In 2010, AsiaInvest signed a cooperation agreement with the Vietnam Real Estate Association. Today, the group is both a member of and the main consulting firm of VNREA. “We assist in organising activities, seminars and exhibitions, as well as provide training and consultancy to members,” says Nguyen.

Other members of VNREA, including developers and real estate agencies, also participate in these events as they provide a platform for them to showcase their projects, he adds.

According to him, now is a good time for foreigners to enter Vietnam’s property market, which only opened to international investors less than two years ago. As prices are still reasonable, he sees opportunities for overseas investors and developers across all real estate sectors.

While AsiaReal operates only in Vietnam currently, it has plans to partner agencies in Singapore to market Vietnamese properties, given the intense interest from investors here, says Nguyen.
