The South East Asian Portal Company, Dot Property has installed former Commercial Director James Claassen as General Manager. Claassen, a real estate professional with ten years’ experience who joined the company over a year ago, was quoted as saying:

“We have a fantastic team that is geared towards impeccable service levels and delivering results, working closely with the real estate industry across SEA we can definitely help people find a home”

The company which is a subsidiary of Lifull Connect will be hoping to maintain its challenge to other big-time portals in a region with an increasingly consolidated competitive landscape, and Group CEO Mauricio Silber is sure that his new appointee is the man for the job:

“James has a strong background in property portals, plenty of experience leading teams and more importantly, he knows Dot Property. We are both excited about the future we are building in real estate and the opportunities we see in the region.”

Lifull Connect’s Japanese Parent company, Lifull, recently published its latest figures which show pre-pandemic revenue growth in its South East Asian marketplaces. Investors will be hoping that Claassen and his team can revive this momentum once property markets in the region are back on their feet.
