List below are agents that seem to be good , i have dealt with them and they all been very proffesional.

I have learned that a good way to activate an agent or agents is to pay more than the standard 3% commission.

They will provide a greater effort to show your place when they know that they will receive more for it than showing another.

I have always tipped the sales ladies who have sold my and my friend's houses and I see them come back to show our houses again and again. Although the buyer makes the decision on what he will buy, the agents show him what is in his price range after he provides his general requirements.

Good luck

Thanks all of you for your input. I will be contacting some of you shortly, privately.

In my opinion they exist and you would be foolish to tar them all with the same brush. There are good and bad as with everything. My advice to popshirt is to look for a broker who is a member of the Real Estate Broker Association of Thailand. By being a member of this group they have to abide by a set of rules and guidelines and if you have any complaint about them, you at least have somewhere to go to afterwards.

I think he was just having a laugh, along the same lines as "Military Intelligence" or "Honest Politician"

Speaking of Real Estate agents/brokers, I thought that was one of the occupations in Thailand that was restricted to Thai Nationals only ?

No worries!

Check www.d2re.com Bangkok & Jomtien Offices. Tell truth.

That is why they are consultants, advisors, directors and facilitators but not salesfolk.

Yeah, I thought about that a bit afterwards. I guess the farangs "run" the company that sells real estate (general managers or what ever), probably do most of the selling, and then have the Thai broker put his/her name and stamp on the paperwork.

I was browsing some of those links posted earlier in the thread. Lots of condos for sale, but most of the houses are quite expensive. I could buy a nice place in Canada for the same price (depending on location of course).

Of course, if I were to look at places outside of Pattaya, I imagine the prices would be more reasonable too. Maybe a nice little tin shack near Ban Laem ?
