Looking at posts in this forum and what I hear from other people it is very difficult in Thailand to find qualified property agents who know what they are doing and who actually work actively to sell my/your property. 

its  like anywhere, there are  good  agents and bad  agents many are  bone  idle many are freelance.

Yes, you can do that. And what do they do? Mostly nothing.

And all of them want a lot of money for doing almost nothing.

Anyone walking in asking theyll tell

Maybe there are lots of factors and sometimes it seems it is not so easy.

 

I bought my condominium in a 30 year old building about 2 years ago. At that time, I looked at maybe 10 similar units in the same building. It seems I was the only one looking. I bought it for a good price. When we went to the land office the building manger told me this was the only transfer of a property in that building within the last year.

There are still many units available, for reasonable prices.

But almost all of those units have to be renovated. This might be a reason why few people are interested to buy, even if the buying price plus renovation is a lot less than other newer buildings nearby.

 

It seems one reason why people (Thais) buy new is because it is much easier to finance new properties. 

 

wife must have sold  hundreds over the years, from dumps to palaces.

Thais are the  biggest tell talers  ever, just mention it to one  of them itll be  all round the area in minutes with embellishment.

I owned a condo in the Thonglor area for many years. I was able to sell it within a few weeks of putting it on the market with a real estate agent. The building was close to thirty years old at the time of sale, so it wasn't new. A Thai bought it.

 

I have now lived in a house in a mooban in in Bangkok for over twenty years. There are always several houses in the mooban with for sale signs visible, often with real estate agents' names and logos on them. Some of the houses have had the signs on them for years. Occasionally one will be sold, but it seems to take a long time.

 

If I were looking to purchase a residence that I wanted to sell at some later date without too much of a delay, I would choose a condo in a popular building near a BTS or MRT station. I think houses are harder to shift for a number of reasons.

 

 

spot  on

The article doesnt  mention anything about Thailand branches  closing its  just a vague "worldwide" statement

You can put a sign "for sale" on your land of your house and many people will see it.

You can't do anything like that with a condominium.

So how do you find people who are interested in buying your property?

 

That is obviously only one of many aspects.

You can tell the Office of the condo and the security guy  + an agent in the building.  theres  nearly  always one in the development

I think you're refering to US cars in the main.  GM have applied the Chevrolet badge to several brands that they bought. Some brands/models are terrible some are OK.  BMW are regarded by many as a quality brand but you wouldn't accept that if you bought a 2007 to 2012 2.0 diesel  engined BM with the single cam chain engine that disintegrated.  You might also be an unhappy chappy if you'd bought one of their Mini's that have been afflicted with serious engine faults and electric power steering that packed up.

 

I have a Sonic 1.4 non turbo hatchback and its fine. I've driven Toyota's equivalent, the Yaris and I wasn't impressed especially as they cost at least 50,000 more (secondhand).  GM pulling out of Thailand lead to some scaremongery on parts which has in turn lead to lower values across the range. Some real bargains can be had - depending on the model.

 

The Captiva has a pretty bad reputation but Colorado's and Trailblazers shared a lot of parts with Isuzus - they're pretty decent and as I say, I'm very happy with my Sonic.

 

GM may sell under one brand name in some countries but use a different brand name in another.  The cars they make in the US may not be any good (no idea on that) but quite a few of the other brands/models they sell are fine.

 

I have a Peugeot Van in the UK that is actually made by Fiat and has a Ford engine. My Citroen (UK) is also branded as a Peugeot and a Toyota - its actually made at a Toyota factory in The Czech Republic. Peugeot, Citroen and Vauxhall (GM) share the same floorpan and engine and some other parts in many versions of their 208 model.

 

Manufacturers are sharing all sorts of parts these days - its not really possible to state one brand is good or bad.

Also the Chinese  now  make the Colorado under licence I guess  so body panels and other parts are   available , they even do an electric  model based on the 2015 colorado.

Its  not  called the Craptiva for nothing. I own 2  chevrolets but I do all my  own servicing, dealers Ive used mostly useless and Chevrolet HQ even more useless. I bought the secon d one when they left Thailand reduced from 799k to 529k new, no issues with reliability but thats Colorado.

Parts  still ok to get . Personally Id  choose  something else OR make a real low  ball  offer, I mean REALLY  LOW.

Has this got  anything to do with Thailand? seems they have almost no share here anyway

It reveals the weakness of the Thai Political System.
