Leadership
Maxim Sokolov
Founder & CEO
Maxim founded MORE Group in 2018 after 4 years of investment-banking work in Russia and 3 years living in Phuket as an expat investor. He saw foreign buyers being consistently steered into wrong projects by commission-driven brokers and built MORE Group to fix it: independent advice, real data, zero buyer commission.
Maxim personally oversees client engagements over $300K and handles all developer-relationship strategy. He speaks Russian (native), English (fluent), and functional Thai. Based in Phuket year-round.
Specialties: Off-plan project due diligence, foreign-buyer market analysis, Russian/English-speaking client coordination, Phuket developer relationships.

Editorial Team
Our published guides, area pages, project reviews, and market reports are written by the MORE Group Editorial collective — a team of brokers, lawyers, market analysts, and freelance journalists with direct Phuket experience. Every guide is fact-checked against our internal project database and real transaction data.
We write to inform, not to persuade. If a project, area, or strategy has weak fundamentals, we say so — even if it costs us a sale. This is why we publish honest guides on topics other agencies avoid (rental-guarantee scrutiny, off-plan delay risk, STR juristic enforcement, oversupply districts).

Most engagements start with a 30-minute discovery call. Our team responds to inquiries within 2 hours during Phuket business hours (UTC+7).
