Thailand is a major tourist destination and Pattaya, a short drive southeast along the coast, has grown from a tiny fishing village to a vibrant, bustling, resort offering all amenities. As such, accommodation is easily found.
For the owner and seller of property, there is the choice of trying to find a buyer for oneself, usually through the print medium, advertising in the real estate for sale or real estate for rent section of the local newspapers and magazines. This can be done in both Thai and English, depending on the market required. Another popular method of 'going alone' is to put an advertisement in the window of the local supermarket and stores. The only real advantage in trying to find a buyer using this method is that it saves the 3% commission paid to a real estate agent, or realtor. However, the target audience is limited, thus reducing the property exposure and one has to conclude the transaction personally, which can lead to mistakes being made. The property owner must weigh the advantages of concluding the deal personally against the alternative of using a professional real estate broker, real estate agent, or realtor.
For the person searching for a property, whether one is searching for short-term rental, long-term lease or the purchase of a property, business or land, it is often advisable to enlist the services of a reputable real estate agent, real estate broker, or realtor, who can steer you in the right direction and through the pitfalls. There are very many real estate offices from which to choose, all advertise in the local newspapers and magazines, or you may search the listings, contained herein, to select one.
The service is free to the searcher of accommodation, property or business, the fee being paid by the provider, so it is a good idea to use their services when searching, as they already have multiple listings of properties whether it be a house, a condominium, an apartment, a commercial property or land. They will already have one to suit your budget and needs, or will be able to find after being given your exact requirements.
Whether you are the seller or the buyer, an efficient real estate company will be able to handle all the details, from the introduction and site visits, through negotiations and contracting, to assisting in the move in. Realtors can arrange for representation if legal matters require addressing, such as registration deeds, checking of legal ownership, or visa and company requirements. Most important of all, a professional real estate broker, real estate agent or realtor, having multiple listings and experience in handling all matters pertaining to real estate transactions, will be able to conclude the deal efficiently and safely for all parties involved. It is, of course, possible to do everything by oneself, however, by enlisting the help of a professional real estate agent, one ensures that the transaction is completed thoroughly, giving peace of mind.
