Founder of BAANLYY · International real estate broker, investor & relocation specialist
Kirby Scofield is the founder of BAANLYY, the independent English-language knowledge platform for living in Thailand, and the founder and broker of Scofield Group, an independent Nevada real estate brokerage. As an international real estate broker, investor and relocation specialist, his work centres on one question: how can someone move, live and invest across borders with clear, honest, verifiable information?
Working across international real estate markets and Thailand's rental and investment landscape, Kirby has walked buildings, pulled land and immigration records, tracked rents and yields across Bangkok's neighbourhoods, and guided renters, buyers, retirees, digital nomads and corporate movers through the practical realities of visas, banking, contracts and settling in. BAANLYY is where that field research becomes structured, citable guidance.
Every article Kirby publishes on BAANLYY is written from primary and official sources — Thai Immigration, the Land Department, the Board of Investment, the Revenue Department, the Bank of Thailand and other authorities — and is reviewed and dated so readers always know how current it is. BAANLYY is a data-and-tools platform and knowledge hub, not a broker or property manager, and never takes paid placement in its editorial content.
Kirby also leads Scofield Group, an independent Nevada brokerage covering Las Vegas, Henderson and Summerlin. If you are selling a U.S. home before a move abroad, that is the place to start; here on BAANLYY, explore everything about living, renting, buying and investing in Thailand.
