ExpatOilWorker Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 What is the best direct owner to buyer real-estate site for Pattaya? I am familiar with site like mrroomfinder and bahtandsold. Although both have an east coast section, they are mainly Bangkok based. What Pattaya site do you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LennyW Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Bahtsold can be searched local, ThaiVisa classifieds, Property in Pattaya (Facebook page) and Pattaya Real Estate Network (Facebook page), REThai, Pattaya Trader, online classified sections of all the local papers.......

JSixpack Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Bulletin boards at Friendship and Foodland. There's one on the ground floor of Big C Extra, too, in the hallway leading to the toilets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrel Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Gents, please don't hijack my post. So back to.....What is the best direct owner to buyer real-estate site for Pattaya? No hi-jacking here; the question was answered and the discussion moved on. The answer is still "there isn't one". You may find an occasional site with an occasional real ad from an occasional real private vendor, but mostly the ads will just be from agents even if they say "private sale".

I fear you are right. The Pattaya real estate market really feels like utter chaos and dominated by lots of independent agents, most often with dream like prices. Though market to step into.

phl Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 advertising your property thai style attach for sale or rent sign on the gate or window and sit in hope someone will call. there are no good sites or the sites mentioned, i would not call them good, because for some reason many owner advertisers have decided that since they found internet site they can put their property there for 30%-50% more value than it's actually worth. If you looking to buy, hop on the bike and go for rides around town and area's that interest you. If you like particular condo, but do not see any signs, go into the office and ask if anything is selling, you will find there always something is, and usually cheaper than the advertised price. Perfect example is Nova Atrium. Some rooms advertised for sale/rent through agents for 6mill/28000, while in the condo itself, same room is going for 4.9m/20000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darrel Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 do not know where you come from but where i come from agents get 4%-6% from the sale of the property not 18% 4%-6% sounds absurdly high to me. 1%-2% would be nearer what they are worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauljones Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Agents sell or rent apartments for a fee. Usually 6% on a sale and 1 months rent on a rental. They often get greedy and add onto the price too. Stay away from them if you can. If looking at a condo, go speak to the residents and condo board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrel Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Agents sell or rent apartments for a fee. Usually 6% on a sale... There is one fairly well-known local agent who only charges 3%, and puts it in quite big print on his ads. This seems a lot more reasonable than the 5+% that many others mistakenly think they are worth. If I were buying or selling something I would certainly look at him before his competition. Of course all these figures are 100% negotiable and this should never be forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agents are dealing with re-sales and the developer is selling unsold inventory. That wouldn't affect rental prices, and I doubt that it would affect sales prices either. Just because a resale is a resale doesn't automatically make it worth any more than a similar unit being sold by the developer, unless of course it has much better fittings etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
