Commendations

PropertySoul, respected Singapore property blogger and investor.

When you were heading editorial at PropertyGuru I enjoyed reading your articles, which provided a lot of good insights and were always unbiased. You were my most respected editor in the property industry at that time.

Clayton Wade, Managing Director at Premier Homes Real Estate Co., Ltd.

I have always been impressed with his writing and editorials as he and his journalistic talents have lead the way in our Southeast Asian real estate industry for many years. Andrew always seems to see an important story … and his delivery of that information has made him one of the very top real estate industry writers in the business.

Excell Chua, CEO & Co-Founder, The XL Connect.

His stories are well-thought through, in-depth, balanced and fair. Andrew’s innate curiosity about the property market coupled with his flair for writing and strong ethics earned him hundreds (if not thousands) of fans in Asia.

Mark Bowling, former Manager of Colliers, Pattaya.

Andrew is a first-rate journalist, bringing the latest real estate news and happenings to the public domain in an accurate and unbiased manner across the Southeast Asia region.
