Never buy property abroad alone again.
Someone who lives where you're buying checks the land title, the permits and the building before each payment, and tells you whether to pay. You pay us. The developer never does.

How it works
Your agent lives where you're buying and works only for you. Our software reads the documents; your agent goes and looks.
- 1
Verify before you sign
Title, zoning, permits and the developer's real track record. You see the red flags before you send a cent.
- 2
Watch it being built
GPS- and time-stamped video of your property at every milestone. No staged photos, no "it's almost done".
- 3
Pay when it's real
Before each payment, your agent confirms the milestone on site and tells you if the evidence supports paying. Your money follows the concrete, not the calendar.
- 4
Get the keys on your terms
A final inspection by someone who works for you. Nothing is handed over until it's right.
The product
Your case, in one place
When you book a check you get a login. You see every step your agent takes, you can message them, and you get a warning if your next instalment is due before we've finished.
- 1 · Free desk review in about 60 secondsOur agent reads the developer's own website and lists what must be proven with a document or a visit.
- 2 · Six stages, each with a dateCase opened, documents, land & title, building permit, site visit, report. Nothing is "almost done".
- 3 · "Don't pay yet" alertsAdd your next instalment date. If it lands before our report, the portal tells you to hold.
- 4 · Evidence you can checkSite photos are GPS- and time-stamped with a SHA-256 fingerprint in our field app.
How much of your money is at risk?
Off-plan, you pay by the calendar while the building moves at its own pace. Move the slider and compare.
Illustrative example: six payments of a typical off-plan plan (20/20/20/20/10/10%) where construction runs about six months behind the payment calendar.

| How you know the work is done | Photos the developer chooses | GPS-stamped video, every milestone |
| Who tells you whether to pay | The developer's payment schedule | Your agent, after checking on site |
| What you know about the developer | Their brochure | Their Trust Score and past projects |
| Who works for you | No one | Your Kolaboro agent, never paid by sellers |

Questions buyers ask us
Straight answers, including what we don't do.
Who pays Kolaboro?
Buyers pay for checks and monitoring. Developers never pay Kolaboro: the evidence sets every Score. Agents never take money from developers.
Is Kolaboro a lawyer or a notary?
No. Kolaboro agents verify facts on the ground and in documents and tell you what they found. For legal advice and to sign, use an independent lawyer or notary; we can tell you what to ask them.
Do you hold my money?
Not yet. Today your agent confirms each milestone on site and tells you whether the evidence supports paying. Milestone escrow with licensed partners is on our roadmap.
Where do you work?
We are launching in Bali first and adding cities as we train local agents. If you are buying somewhere else, tell us where: demand decides the next city.
How is the Trust Score calculated?
Nine checks, from land title to realistic promises, each scored 0 to 100 and weighted. Red flags cap the total, and every point links to its evidence. The full method is public.
Can a developer change their Score?
Only with evidence. Developers can add documents and reply publicly. Where data is missing, the page says so instead of guessing.
What if I already bought?
That's when monitoring matters most. We can verify where construction really is before your next payment.
Why I started Kolaboro
For years I sold property abroad to buyers from all over the world. Almost every one of them asked me the same things before saying yes:
- Is the land really the seller's?
- Are the permits real?
- Will it be built on time?
- Where exactly does my money go?
I couldn't give them an independent answer, because I was the seller. Kolaboro is that answer: someone on the buyer's side, with evidence. If you have a question, write to me directly.
