You don't say where you are located but listing your villa with just 2 agencies, I believe, is not enough, as Thailand does not have an MLS multiple listing service. As a seller, you need to list your property with each agency on your own, one by one. My spouse and I recently sold a 3-bedroom house with a pool in the Pattaya suburbs. We took good photos and I emailed the photos, along with a detailed description, price, contact information, etc., to over 40 different email addresses--both agencies and agents. Your objective as a seller is to get as much exposure as you can for your property. Our property sold quickly to a Thai buyer. Real estate brochures are sort of 20th century. I can't remember any agencies doing them here, nor do they do much in the way of open houses here, either. With the house we just sold, several of the big agencies did videos--which, along with lots of good photos on the agencies website, is today's version of a brochure. Unless you do an exclusive listing, you will not be working with a single agent, like you did in the UK and we did in the US, keeping you updated frequently. Instead, you work with all of the agencies that have your listing. Once they have the listing they will only normally contact you if they want to show the property to a client. You might also get the occasional email asking you if the property is still for sale so they can keep their website current. We always try to sell a property ourselves here but the vast majority of the 20-some properties we have sold here have been with the help of a real estate agent and agency. I don't think we have ever sold a property using Facebook or any of the other non-agency websites--but that doesn't mean you can't use them. You never know where a buyer might come from. If you are still trying to sell your villa, I would suggest listing with as many agencies as you possibly can--in the way I described above. I would also take a fresh look at your pricing, getting some feedback on that from at least 2 or 3 agents to see if your pricing is in the ballpark--which it needs to be. Good luck if you are still selling.
