Questions and Answers Q.What will Sage do to attract rental guests? A.Website Marketing Online advertising Travel trade shows in Thailand and overseas Contracts with local and international travel agents Online Travel agent site listings CRM marketing and loyalty programs Travel related media advertising Local billboards and posters Q. Are there any occupancy rate expectancy? A. It is extremely difficult to forecast for a new property in a new location. We are forecasting however a first year occupancy of 50-55% with increases of 10-15% per year up to 75-80% by year 2-3. Q. What do I do when I want to use my unit myself? A. Simply contact the reservations desk to make a booking. All owners details are on file, so the booking process will be very simple and straightforward. Q.Why will Sage have a higher occupancy rate than other projects? A.Because of our superior technology and support for broader market reach Benefits of advertising under the Sage brand Higher level of service and quality standards Q. Why can I not use it during Peak Season? A. The management company invests a lot into the operations and marketing on the basis that they will have the right to rent out properties for 9 months of the year. During the first few years when occupancy is low Sage will certainly be flexible where possible to accommodate owners’ requests outside of the allocated 90 days. Generally the manage- ment company needs to also provide a guaranteed availability to whole travel agents, this is very important during peak and high season. Honoring this ensures travel agent support during the remainder of the year. If the units are available during high and peak season owners are naturally free to use the unit. Optionally owners can book and pay for the unit (if occupancy is full), from their rental account. Ultimately this will be cheaper than normal rates, as the owner receives 80% of the amount paid as part of the rental sharing under the management program. Q. What will the service for rental customers be? A. Concierge Services Transport and shuttle arrangement Room cleaning Rental program marketing and sales Rental collection and management Q. How often is the rental return paid out to the owners? A. Monthly Q. How is it paid? A. All owners need to establish a Thai Bank account...Sage will assist with this. The funds will be paid into that account, and the owners are free to use the funds in any manner. Q. How does the payment for electricity, water, TV and telephone/internet work? A. For those owners in the rental program, Sage will arrange payment (from rental income) for all expenses. For those owners not in the rental program they will need to pay utilities them self. Sage will endeavor however to assist with this, with the goal of arranging it on owners behalf, but this will be confirmed at time of completion. Q. How much tax do the customers have to pay on the rental income? A. As required by Thai law, rental income is subject to a 15% withholding tax. Sage will deduct this and remit to the tax office on behalf of owners. The owners are not liable for any further tax on this income. Q. Do you provide accounting service for the customers? A. Unit owners will receive monthly statements but Sage does not provide accounting services for owners. This however will not likely be required as taxes are paid and no return needs to be filed. If it is required, Sage can arrange a suitable independent accounting firm for this service. Q. What are the management fees and how big can they be? Is the service fee same as management fee? A. Management fees are what are required to be paid by ALL owners for the maintenance of common and public areas in the building. This cost will change every year depending on the actual costs of performing this maintenance task. Some properties call these fees Service fees, or Common property fees. Separate from this are the Management Fees paid by owners in the rental program. This fee is paid to Sage for the marketing, sale, management and collection of rental income.
