Real Estate Agents in Pattaya
How to recognise a serious agent, and what we do verifiably differently
You recognise a serious real estate agent in Pattaya by four things: real presence on the ground, prices identical to the official developer price list, free for buyers (the developer or seller pays the commission) and verifiable references instead of big words. Vet every provider with our 8-point check below, ourselves included: we have been on the ground since 2018, specialise in new-build and off-plan, work with 0 euro buyer commission and publish our numbers in the public Pattaya Price Index.
The 8-point check: how to vet any agent
Tap what your agent verifiably fulfils. Feel free to test us the same way.
Office and presence on the ground, verifiable
Address, photos, videos from Pattaya, personal viewings. Pure remote advice is a warning sign.
Personal advice in your language
Not just a translated website: the person on the phone speaks your language, including contracts and taxes.
Prices identical to the developer price list
The honest test: ask for the price list and compare. Markups or fantasy discounts are a knockout criterion.
Free for buyers, confirmed in writing
The developer or seller pays the commission. Serious agents confirm this without hesitation.
Verifiable reviews and real references
ProvenExpert or comparable, real video testimonials, public data instead of anonymous logos.
Concrete project knowledge
Foreign quota, sinking fund, common fee, sales status: whoever dodges these does not know the project.
No sales pressure, sometimes advising against
A good agent also says: this project does not suit you. Ask for an example.
A named contact, directly reachable
One person with a name, reachable on WhatsApp, the same number before and after the purchase.

Get in touch →Frequently asked questions
What does a real estate agent in Pattaya cost for buyers?
Nothing. In Thailand the developer or seller pays the commission, and purchase prices are identical to the official price lists. With us: 0 euro buyer commission, and on request we show you the developer's price list side by side with our offer.
Where is the catch if the advice is free?
There is no hidden markup if the agent works cleanly: the commission is part of the developer's marketing budget, whether you buy directly or through an agent. The honest test: ask for the project's official price list and compare.
How do I recognise dubious agent offers in Pattaya?
Warning signs: prices below the official price list, time pressure, no clear answer on the foreign quota, no office and no presence on the ground, no verifiable reviews. A serious agent answers questions on quota, sinking fund and sales status concretely, and sometimes advises against a project.
Do I need an agent on the ground in Pattaya?
You should insist on it. Contracts, taxes and Land Office procedures are local business; personal viewings and a person you can call afterwards make the difference. Advice consisting only of a website is not enough.
Is Der Pattaya Makler specialised in new-build or resale?
Clearly in new-build and off-plan directly from the developer, with 24 personally vetted projects and a public price index built from real price lists. Vetted existing properties are brokered off-market through the Investor Circle. What we do, we say exactly.
How do I start?
