Diana Zakharova - Bali Real estate

In Singapore and Dubai, buyers get escrow. In Bali? Until now — nothing like it. 🔓

So we built one.

Introducing the Full Project Transparency Account for Magnum Resort Sanur — a way for you to actually see where your money goes.

You get live, view-only access to the project’s bank account. Log in whenever you like and watch every payment go into construction, contractors and materials — nothing else. It’s escrow-style peace of mind, built to work within the Indonesian banking system.

✦ See every payment, in real time
✦ Funds used only for your resort
✦ View-only — you monitor, we manage
✦ No minimum to join

I’ve spent years telling clients to buy safe in Bali. This is what “safe” looks like now.

⚠️ "Open a PT PMA and you'll pay 22% instead of 47%."

If someone told you that, they've either misunderstood the rules — or
they're hoping you won't check.

🌏 Australia taxes its residents on worldwide income. And it has a rule
written specifically to stop profits being parked in a foreign company
you control: Controlled Foreign Company attribution. The ATO attributes
those profits back to you and taxes them in the year they're earned —
whether or not a dividend is ever paid.

🤝 The double tax treaty with Indonesia stops you paying twice. It does
not let you pick the cheaper country. You pay the higher rate, once.

👉 Swipe for the maths on $100,000 of Bali profit.

✅ None of which makes PT PMA a bad structure. It's the right one — for
commercial reasons. It's what legally permits running a rental business
in Indonesia, it holds building rights extendable to around 80 years,
and it gives you a clean, bankable exit.

Buy it for that. Not for a tax saving that isn't there.

📩 DM 'AUS' and I'll send the structure comparison — leasehold, Hak Pakai
and PT PMA side by side, with what each one actually does.

Educational only, not tax advice. Speak to a registered Australian tax
agent before acting.

Every buyer wonders it and almost nobody asks it out loud. So — three answers.

Moscow: I worked for a developer. The leads were handed to me, and so was the script. Line by line, no deviation. No flexibility, no creativity, no room to be a person in the conversation — and most of the rules had been written by people who had never once sat across a table from a buyer.

You learn the product very well that way. You learn nothing at all about the human being in front of you.

Miami: I worked for myself. Nobody handed me anything — I hunted every single lead. No script either, and no brand standing behind me, so trust was the only asset I owned. You play the long game there, because a client who felt sold to never sends you the next one.

And the clients were demanding. People who knew exactly what they wanted and told you immediately when you got it wrong. That is the best training there is.

Bali: a developer again. On purpose — because here I finally get both.

A developer's reach, and the freedom to handle every client personally. No script. No "let me check what I'm allowed to say." Just everything Miami taught me, applied one person at a time.

Moscow gave me structure with no freedom. Miami gave me freedom with no structure. This is the first place I've had both.

That's the whole reason this conversation feels different. Most people selling for a developer have never worked without one.

Ask me something you'd only ask an agent who doesn't work for the developer. I'll answer it anyway 👇

Miami taught me to hustle. The Island of the Gods taught me to live.

For years this page was South Florida — Aventura listings, closings, a market I knew cold. Then I left for an island I'd only seen on Instagram. I came to sell property. What I found was home.

So the page is changing with me.

I'm Diana Zakharova — Commercial Director Magnum Estate, one of Bali's leading full-cycle developers. Still a licensed Florida broker ( #3440165), now working on the developer's side in Indonesia.

That last part matters. Most buyers meet Bali through an agent. I sit with the team that acquires the land, designs it, builds it and manages it — which means I can answer questions an agent has to go and ask
someone else.

From here, this page is about:

🔑 How foreigners can legally own here — leasehold, Hak Pakai, PT PMA,
and why nominee structures are void under Indonesian law
📋 Due diligence that holds up — BPN title checks, zoning (ITR/KKPR),
building permits (PBG and SLF)
⚖️ Tax and licensing in plain English, including the rules reshaping
Bali's rental market right now
🏗 The projects I represent — with real numbers, not brochure numbers

No hype. No "last unit available." Just the parts nobody explains
properly until after you've signed.

If you followed me for Miami real estate — thank you, genuinely. That
chapter built everything I know about doing this properly. If Bali has
been on your mind, whether to visit, live or invest, you're in the
right place.

May 12, 2025 🌴 The day Bali became home.
It wasn’t a small move — Miami 🇺🇸 → Moscow 🇷🇺 → here 🇮🇩. But every mile led to the right place: an incredible team at .estate 💼✨, work that challenges me, and an island that somehow always knows what you need. 🌺
A year in. Endlessly grateful. 🤍
One year down. Many more to come. 🥂
