Why are there no real estate agents in Issan?

The bigger question is "Why would you want to live there ? " All the girls are gone, and are working in Bangkok. Maybe you like the rice fields?

the girls have all stayed, just the s....s have all moved to where you live.

Buriram has several property agents. One is a franchise of a USA company. The local office is owned and operated by Thai citizens. Several of my expat friends have purchased land both inside Buriram city and in less urban areas through a UK expat property agent. He has a web site and speaks English. http://buriramisaanproperty.com/ He is not anywhere near 5% in his commission. I have met people who have been pleased with Hywel in both selling and buying land and homes. Mr. Williams would be on my short list of real estate brokers if I was buying or selling a home or condo in Buriram Province. He also has a thriving business as a building project manager. I have several friends who have engaged his services to manage a home building project in both Buriram proper and villages near Buriram. He has repeat customers which is quite telling. I know several real estate brokers I would never engage with again in California.

I can say the opposite from personal first hand experience...

Mr Williams just tried to sell me a house as where he claimed to be the agent, but where in reality he isn't ( to use soft words)

Even the house on the picture isn't a house for sale...

so WARNING... Scammer

There are plenty of them, in each city.

Many foreigners think we are the most important customers, since we do the odd 3-5 million Baht transactions.

But the fact is, the local marked have 0,5 - 1 million Baht transactions for 10000s of customers.

Can I also add the WARNING that Mr Williams is simply not trustworthy. He makes claims about himself and his abilities which are just not honest or truthful. As the writer observes - SCAMMER
