Meet the Baliest team

Separated by geography for several years, best friends Karmo and Jurgen harbored a long-standing dream of venturing into real estate development. Karmo had honed his skills in construction and management in Australia while Jurgen gained an understanding of the Bali real estate market and formed business relationships with key industry figures, gaining valuable knowledge and insights.

Their reunion this year marked a turning point in their lives. They seized the opportunity to transform their dream into a reality, leveraging their extensive skill sets and global knowledge. It was in this moment of convergence that Baliest Real Estate Development and Management was established, birthing their first project named Larente Villas.

Their remarkable journey speaks to the enduring power of friendship, shared ambition, and the unwavering commitment to realizing aspirations. As they unite to fulfill their vision, Karmo and Jurgen invite you to join them on this path, where expertise converges with aspiration to create unique and promising opportunities for investors.
