A FEW WORDS ABOUT US

MEET THE TEAM

Excel Real Estate Bali was founded by Karl and Siska — two of the most experienced property professionals on the island. Between them, they bring nearly four decades of combined on-the-ground experience in the Bali market, having guided hundreds of foreign buyers, investors, and sellers through every stage of the property journey.

Karl — Co-founder & Senior Property Consultant

Karl first came to Bali in the early 2000s and never left. He has been working in Bali real estate since 2005, building a reputation for honest, knowledgeable representation for foreign buyers navigating Indonesia’s complex property landscape.

With nearly 20 years based in Bali, Karl has an unmatched understanding of how the island works — from the nuances of each neighbourhood to the intricacies of Indonesian property law, zoning regulations, and the ever-changing landscape of foreign ownership structures. He has seen the market through multiple cycles, from the early days of Seminyak’s rise to the emergence of Canggu, the growth of Uluwatu, and the increasing sophistication of Bali’s investment property sector.

Clients consistently describe Karl as straightforward, knowledgeable, and genuinely focused on finding the right outcome rather than the quickest sale. He has guided buyers from Australia, Europe, the United States, and across Asia — from first-time purchasers exploring a lifestyle investment to experienced investors building multi-property portfolios.

Karl’s approach is simple: understand what the client actually needs, be honest about what the market offers, and never rush a decision that someone will live with for decades.

Siska — Co-founder & Property Consultant

Siska is an Indonesian national who has been working in the Bali property market since 2004 — longer than almost anyone else in the industry. As a co-founder of Excel Real Estate Bali, she brings something that cannot be learned from a course or acquired quickly: deep, genuine local knowledge built over two decades of working directly with landowners, notaries, local government, and communities across the island.

Siska’s core strengths are land acquisition, legal due diligence, and the local relationships that make the difference between a smooth transaction and a difficult one. She understands Indonesian property law in detail — from the implications of different title certificates (Hak Milik, Hak Sewa, Hak Pakai, HGB) to the practicalities of the notary process, zoning regulations, and permit requirements under Indonesia’s evolving regulatory framework.

For foreign buyers, Siska is an invaluable bridge between the international perspective and the Indonesian reality. Her ability to navigate local relationships, identify potential issues before they become problems, and communicate clearly in both English and Indonesian means that clients benefit from insight that simply isn’t available through agents without her level of local grounding.

She is particularly trusted for land deals — transactions that require not just legal knowledge but a deep understanding of local land ownership history, community dynamics, and the kind of nuanced judgment that only comes with 20 years on the ground.
