Now in its fourth year, the Annual RICS and Macdonald & Company Asian Real Estate Salary, Benefits & Attitudes Survey is the most comprehensive survey undertaken for the property sector.  The survey continues the success of earlier years.  1,536 Asian real estate professionals participated online in August and September 2009, making this our highest ever response (versus 1,090 in 2008) and the largest and most comprehensive survey of its type.

Thanks this year as always must go to the RICS who actively promoted their involvement in the survey amongst their members. We would also like to thank all the participants who took time to complete the survey. Besides statistics on current salaries, recent salary increases, bonuses and employment package benefits, the results give insight into wider issues that are important to real estate professionals in their role and their attitudes toward employment.

This executive summary sets out the key findings of the survey. For the first year, we can now provide an easy to use online access to the full results, for more information please contact Macdonald & Company.
