Selling Property in Pattaya
Valuation, marketing and the transfer at the Land Office
As the owner you can sell your Pattaya property freely: ownership passes with the sale contract and the re-registration of the Chanote title at the Land Office. Success comes down to three things: a realistic asking price, complete documents and reach to the right buyers. That is exactly what we deliver: an exposé PDF, a property video, a 360-degree tour and WhatsApp first contact, in German and English, backed by 200+ expert articles of reach and genuine buyer enquiries from our CRM. What we do not offer: fantasy prices and sale guarantees.
What is my Pattaya property worth?
The honest answer: location, floor, view, condition and quota status decide, not the wish figure. As a frame of reference: new-build condos in Pattaya run at 115,000 to 260,000 THB per square metre depending on location and project, flagship projects above that. Buyers also calculate soberly with 5 to 8 percent gross rental yield and appreciation of roughly 3 to 5 percent per year. Where your unit sits within that frame is what we clarify in the free valuation talk, using real comparables and our quarterly Pattaya Price Index. For the buyer’s side of the maths, see what a condo in Pattaya costs.
The marketing package: how your property shows up
Your unit competes with professionally presented new-build projects. So it gets the same stage as our project pages:
Exposé PDF
A bilingual property exposé as a PDF with facts, photos and location, ready to forward to serious buyers.
Property video
An edited video of your property on our YouTube channel, embedded on the listing page.
360-degree tour
A walk-through online tour: buyers from Europe view your unit before they board a plane.
Reach in DE + EN
A bilingual website with 200+ expert articles: your property gets found by German-speaking and international buyers.
Buyer enquiries in the CRM
We match your property against a steady stream of new search profiles and introduce it directly to fitting buyers.
WhatsApp first contact
Every enquiry about your property gets a fast, personal reply, usually the same day.
The process in 5 steps
Valuation talk
Free and non-binding: we look at your property and give you an honest price range built from real comparables, not a flattering number to win the mandate.
Documents
Copy of the Chanote, copy of your passport, fee status with the building management, and for condos the foreign quota status. We tell you exactly what is missing and where to get it.
Preparation
Photos, the property video, the 360-degree tour and the bilingual exposé PDF are produced. Your property presents like a project, not like a classified ad.
Marketing
Publication in German and English, matching against buyer enquiries in our CRM, social channels, WhatsApp first contact on every enquiry. You get honest feedback instead of radio silence.
Transfer at the Land Office
Sale contract, the building management’s confirmation that no fees are outstanding, re-registration of the Chanote title to the buyer. Proceeds and keys change hands step for step, cleanly documented.
The sale-launch checklist
What we do not promise
Selling starts with honesty, including towards ourselves. Two things you deliberately will not get from us:
Foreign quota: your trump card at resale
If your condominium sits in the foreign quota, that is your strongest argument at resale: under the Condominium Act of 1979, up to 49 percent of the floor area per building may be foreign-owned. Precisely because that quota is capped, foreign-quota units are in demand with international buyers. Sell to a foreigner and the unit stays in the quota; sell to a Thai buyer and quota is freed up. For the re-registration at the Land Office the buyer needs the quota confirmation from the building management, which is why we clarify this status right at the start. Our audience is exactly the group looking for such units: German-speaking and international buyers who want freehold in their own name. How the quota works in detail: the foreign quota explained.
What every serious buyer checks

Frequently asked questions
What does selling with Der Pattaya Makler cost me?
The valuation talk and the price assessment are free and non-binding. A fee applies only in case of success and is agreed in writing before marketing starts. There are no hidden costs and no upfront fees.
How long does it take to sell a property in Pattaya?
There is no serious one-size answer: location, condition, price and quota status decide. Realistically priced units find a buyer far faster than overpriced listings that sit for months. That is exactly why we start with an honest price range instead of a wish figure.
Which documents do I need to sell?
The basis is the Chanote title deed, a copy of your passport and proof that no fees are outstanding with the building management. For condominiums, the foreign quota status is added. What is missing in your specific case is clarified in the valuation talk.
Can I sell my Pattaya condo freely as a foreigner?
Yes. You can sell your freehold property at any time, to Thai and to foreign buyers alike. The transfer runs through the sale contract and the re-registration of the Chanote title at the Land Office. If your unit sits in the foreign quota, it is especially attractive to international buyers because that quota is capped per building.
What happens to my proceeds after the sale?
You can repatriate the proceeds to your home country. The key documents are the records of the original transfer of funds into Thailand, such as your bank's FET form. We cover repatriation and selling taxes in dedicated guides and address both actively in the valuation talk.
Free valuation talk, in English or German, straight from Pattaya. Discreet and non-binding.
