ABOUT



GD&ASSOCIATES is an Indonesian firm founded and visioned by Ridha Rahmatika Swahafi, an interior designer graduated, dedicated wife and mother–guided by Gilles Demunter, a committed father with decades of experience in the real estate field since 2012. An award-winning residential realtor in Bali specializing in luxury properties, professional focuses on connecting clients with exclusive homes available in the market.

GD&ASSOCIATES has a proven track record of successfully closing high-value transactions on Bali’s most prestigious properties, and is the only realty in Bali operating under a clear, documented Standard Operating Procedure. This ensures clients receive nothing less than quality service, with their interests protected at every stage, in full accordance with national licensing under AREBI and LSP BPI.

We operate the business with complete autonomy–unconnected to any unlicensed foreign or local agents. We are proud to have seamlessly collaborated with the best national and international legal advocates since day one, making us the only real estate company in Bali, Indonesia, that maintains neutrality and is committed to what is right and to what is supposed to be done, with up-to-date knowledge of legal practices in real estate transactions. We take pride in steering clear of unauthorized practices or activities in all our closings.

The company’s history as an Indonesian PT (local company) dates back to 2017. In early 2020, a strategic merger between Gilles and Ridha marked the beginning of a lifelong partnership, from which Ridha established the GD&ASSOCIATES brand and built a comprehensive business model that same year — one dedicated to unique market characteristics and true exclusivity. Since then, the brand has become a defining presence in Bali’s real estate sector, recognized as a key player in the industry.

We hold our relationships with clients in the highest regard, prioritizing their privacy while maintaining transparency in all business conduct. The firm offers a stress-free, reliable experience — free from the complexity that so often accompanies unauthorized and inexperienced trading in Bali’s real estate market. This is especially true for our UHNWI clientele, who trust us for a worry-free experience from start to finish.

“We only list properties that meet our standards and align with our values, giving buyers exceptional options to choose from. We reject hundreds of properties every week, most of them poorly built or a waste of land, frankly, I can't understand why anyone would want—so buyers with a decent budget don’t have to settle for subpar choices.” –Ridha Rahmatika Swahafi, Founder & Director

 

The Background

Gilles Demunter began his career with a fashion store called Ultimo in his hometown in Belgium, carrying luxury labels such as Gianni Versace, Vivienne Westwood, Dsquared2, Thierry Mugler, and John Galliano. This path led him to Fashion Weeks in Paris and Milan, where he built relationships with high-profile figures in the industry. In 2012, he shifted from fashion to real estate, relocating his business to the other side of the world — where he began working alongside Ridha R. Swahafi, an accomplished luxury interior designer from Jakarta with a distinguished portfolio spanning Saint Louis Crystal, Puiforcat, Dimensione by Chi Wing Lo, Baker Furniture, Loro Piana Interiors, Kohro Italy, Baxter IT, Missoni Home, and the St. Regis Residence Jakarta at Bika Living, Kemang.
