Dear readers,

I would like to inquire about the way to sell a house in Pattaya. The house is in the name of my Thai wife and we would have loved to sell it. How do we best approach this?

We assume that this is best handled with a Belgian or Dutch broker. I have already found and written to a few, but Thailandblog usually has a lot of experience. And that's what we need. A transparent way to sell our house.

I know this question has been asked before, but I couldn't find any really recent information. The last really relevant information dated back to 2015.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Goodbye,

Kris

    Where is that cottage? How much are you asking for it?
    I personally find brokers here very lazy and not very helpful

    There are practically no brokers here. They are all cowboys who open an office here and are only focused on the 5%. Were they real estate agents in their country, well not and a good real estate agent has had training for this profession. In Pattaya there is an overabundance of houses and condominiums that are offered, just like with me in Phuket. It can take years. You can forget profit anyway. Just a sign in front of your house with "FOR SALE" on it and then wait and see.
    Success.

      That is still the best choice ...... and then blow away all those Cow boys, because it is there that they seek to get their salvation and 5%, via simple copy paste for their websites.

      If you ask them which floor is condo, or north or west side, for example, they don't know, so they haven't even visited the house or condo to be sold….people, that's a mess……!
      Houses or condos that are already off the market will continue to be offered on their sites forever … unbelievable mess , prices for the same condo I have already seen from the same condo 1200 /1500 / and the champion 2500 000 baht …..

    Best,

    you can sell it yourself

    1. advertisement in the garden
    2. advertisement in big c central (formerly carrfour)

    if you have copper, you go with copper to a licensed lawyer, for your safety. who helps you with contract, payment and going to the country office

    or a broker.

    individually, sometimes something happens. Does your wife have someone in the family who knows the "know how" or someone from the banking industry, can it also be done without a lawyer.

    Do the pennies stay in Thai afterwards or do they come to the Netherlands, can also cause problems.

    Dear Kris,

    Selling a house in Pattaya is possible if the location and price are right.
    At the moment there are no more buyers from Europe, so I concentrated on the Chinese market.
    You say that the house is in your wife's name, that's no problem if you sell to a Thai, but if I sell it to a Chinese, the house has to be put in a Company, and that takes a few months.
    Do you have some pictures of your house? And if so, could you email it to me?
    Email: [email protected]

    If you are in Pattaya, you can also call me and I will come and have a look myself.

      I would also like to know a little more about your condo.I'm looking for a condo in Pattaya near the sea or something behind it.

    Try an ad WITH photos.
    I sometimes look curiously at advertisements (not that I want to buy, I already have a home), and then I notice that there are often hardly any photos available.
    For me, the interest would soon be over.
    I wouldn't feel like going through all those addresses without an idea of ​​what I'll find there.
    You may also be able to post those photos on Face book or something.

    We have a house in Pattaya and have good experiences with the above sales / rental office.
    Just like in the Netherlands, you have those so-called brokers and advisors who have given a lot of customers wrong information these days. Nowadays there is a hefty price tag for advice alone. A bunch of scammers here too.

    Succes

    My wife has a real estate agency Villaspattaya.info, and regularly advises her, because we hear more and more Indian stories from the so-called real estate agents. She got a house for sale where the seller asked for a bottom price of 6.500.000 baht. The seller told my wife if she wants to ask more that it is for her, but we were not pleased with this sales practice and started with an asking price of 6.9 million. To our surprise, we saw the same house at a number of real estate agents for prices of 7.5 and even 8 million baht.
    Someone who made an offer of 7 million got the impression that he had a super deal, but if you're doing that you're doing it wrong. Pay particular attention if you sign 2 sales orders. The first is the normal price and the second is the bottom price for the seller, which they then make much higher and pocket the difference. I have warned about this before in my columns. There is a recession in real estate and then you get this kind of practice
