NanLaew Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Apart from the Classifieds, doing the footwork yourself as raro suggests is the best option. A 'crotch-rocket' motorcycle is a better option as you can cruise slower and see the signs a lot easier than from a car. A lot of properties do not list themselves with any agencies and the best success stories I have read usually result from a personal referral or other word of mouth. Twice in the last 3 years, I attempted to solicit the services of various 'Realtors' in Pattaya. The first one argued the wrong case for Pratumnak Hill like I was a total newbie (I am a former long-time resident) and the second time around, another company refused to draft a short-list of properties for preview until I came to their office and viewed them from a book or online or whatever. They wanted to make sure I wasn't a 'time waster' for them. I told them by refusing to give me a list BEFOREHAND, they would be wasting mine, the Customer's time but they didn't see it that way.

Thank you guys , I took Raro,s advice , drove around , drove into a couple of villages with security on the gates , explained I was looking for a house to rent , np problem , let me in . I was amazed the amount of houses in some of these villages with for sale / for rent signs on . Anyway , I found a great house , great location , great landlady at a very good price . I would not waste my time with a real estate agent in Pattaya ever again . Thank you guys , great forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
