As foreign property investors in Vietnam, we have been very fortunate to have found Christine and La Quinta as our consultant/agent through a friend. Christine helped us find the right investment apartment in 2016 and was swift and diligent with all the necessary paperwork that a foreign investor had to deal with. She has been trustworthy and responsive every step of the way.

We feel so fortunate to have found a very trustworthy consultant in La Quinta and would recommend her to anyone.

Davis & Mellany

Hochiminh, Vietnam

La Quinta has been a superb help when we first moved in 18 months ago. It was a smooth process which is what we really needed after a long flight and limited time to flat hunt.

We are so happy with the flat and the service we get we had no hesitation adding another year to our contract. Not having accommodation worries frees us up to concentrate on our jobs. That really matters to us. Thank you.

Frederic

General Manager Asian Region , International skin care brand

I have been a foreign real estate in Vietnam since 2019 and I don’t believe I would have been if it wasn’t for La Quinta. Navigating local regulations and technical steps can be complicated if you are not familiar with Vietnam, and even more so when you live oversea with COVID looming. La Quinta has been delivering impeccable services from the moment I articulated the brief to the times I needed to furnish and rent the flat.

As a one-stop service, I highly recommend La Quinta. So much so that I bought a second property.

Ben

It has been a pleasant experience working with La Quinta. As a foreign investor, I really appreciate Christine's detailed guidance and professional advice.

La Quinta is definitely the go-to expert in Vietnam's property market.
