I am very happy to recommend Acquest. They have been fantastic in their support for the full life cycle of my property purchase and maintenance in Sri Lanka. I first used them in 2009 to acquire a flat. They made sure the process was smooth and flawless. They helped with the fit-out work. Over the years their maintenance department has done a great job keeping the apartment operating well.

Ajit Gunawardena
Ex Deputy Chairman of John Keels Holdings PLC
In my 25 years of active real estate investing, few companies have demonstrated the same level of professionalism as Acquest. I purchased an executive property through them in 2008 and they managed it efficiently until 2014. Their level of service and responsiveness has been excellent. I will continue to work with Acquest as I see them as a reliable partner in Sri Lankan real estate.
Aaron Russel - Davison

Throughout my experience, the Acquest team has acted with honesty and integrity - a rare commodity among real estate agents in Colombo. The team was able to advise me well on market trends, pricing and the quality of potential buyers. They ultimately delivered results for me. I would recommend the services of Acquest to any other prospective client, whether it is for an individual property or a larger scale development.
Dumith Fernando
Chairman of Colombo Stock Exchange, ex Managing Director and Group Chief Operating Officer for Credit Suisse Asia Pacific
Acquest, especially Chandaka, did an exceptional job in selling a large residential property in Colombo. Chandaka was always available to provide helpful market insight, valuable advice on potential buyers and the structuring of a transaction, and skillful and creative negotiation of the sale. I always felt that Acquest operated at the highest level of integrity and was proactive in finding a solution. I am very happy to recommend them.
