sandgroper2 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Just rang 5 realestate companies looking for a rental, not one answered phone. They must be so busy. (rang durying , supposed, business hours). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanLaew Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 But are you really looking for a rental or just bored because you can't get out due to the weather and just want a wind up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toenail Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 The real estate agents were most likely playing a game on their phone & couldn't be bothered or too busy slurping down their papaya salad socializing. Customer service is not the top 3 priorities in this town. Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Business is so good that they no longer work on behalf of any Tom, Dick or Harry. If you want them to do something you must first appear sincere, go to their offices, massage their ego's, offer them incentives- those things may get you on their interest ladder or maybe not - but to be sure, you stand a better chance that way than just calling them and then hanging up!

Roger Lee Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Go to this site and search for rentals, then go to http://www.bahtsold.com . Many double condos for rent, many times just visit a condo unit, look up and read the signs for sale/rent/etc.Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris2004 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I wanted an agent to sell my property. I went to his office, I emailed him photos of my condo, I rang asking him to view the condo but he was still too arsed to even reply. How do they ever sell anything.

Don't bother with rentals on the various Pattaya real estate websites either. I've never found one that I liked that was available. Quite often they don't even know if a listed property is available or not. If you don't like to be bothered by Real Estate agents bugging you on the phone, Pattaya is the place. What they will do is use your email address to send spam about properties for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went in there looking for a rental, gave them all my requirements, and never heard back from them - not once. That was after a glowing recommendation too. It was during the quiet season.

That is highly unusual. I've done two transactions (one purchase, on sale) in 2016 with them, and had interacted with them before that several times, and always was impressed with the professional and prompt service from them. Never a missed return call/e-mail. Sorry you got the short end of that, especially if it were my recommendation that prompted you to approach them!

I went there on a glowing recommendation from a friend. I'm not surprised they jumped on a purchase/sale transaction. Renting is a low priority for these agents.

Seizetheday Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I'm not in real estate, unlike some of our more esteemed posters on the Pattaya forum, but I would suggest the the commission available on a 48sqm condo rental is barely enough to make one get out of bed.

i claudius Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 God you dont half read some rubbish on here knocking estate agents ,it was the same in the UK , a load of jealous posters who know nothing , if you don't like Agents so much ,go and do it all yourself . my wife takes calls even late at night from clients and punters , even had two calls on christmas day . yes there are some tw-ts in the business ,but most get on with the job ,even though half the time they have to deal with a load of wan-ers. and dont forget unless they rent or sell a property they get nothing for advertizing it and taking people to see it .

A professional realestate salesperson is on a wage, commision with car and car and phone allowance. Wouldnt deal with anything less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
