Anyone in Thailand can call themselves a real estate agent, so quality swings wildly. This guide covers freelance versus agency agents, who pays the commission, and when you should never hand an agent your money.
It’s not a bad idea to use an agent. Many condo owners don’t want to deal with renting out their condo on their own.
They use an agency instead. But if you decide to rent through an agency, you need to be careful.
Real estate agents in Thailand don’t need to be licensed.
This has made it easier for people to take on that role, and has therefore increased the number of real estate agents in the country.
Some agents may work individually as freelancers. Some work for agencies. And others work with condo developers.
