What makes an agency reliable
Thailand has no mandatory state agent licence, so an agency earns trust through its record, not a permit. What a good agency really gives a foreign buyer is guidance through the parts of a deal that are hard to handle alone — and clarity, in writing, about how it works and what it charges. The checklist below is how you separate a real agency from a listing scraper.
What a foreign buyer must check
Before any deposit an agency should confirm two things: that the unit sits inside the building's 49% freehold quota, and that the seller's title is clean. On resale and rentals, agree in writing who pays the commission.
How to choose a real estate agency
- Company registered and active in the DBD registry
- Membership in TREBA (Thai Real Estate Broker Association)
- Service languages and experience with foreign buyers
- Transparent commission and a written service agreement
- Help with the FET form, a Thai bank account and due diligence
- Foreign-ownership 49% quota checked for freehold condos
- Real, verifiable listings — not duplicated stock photos
Frequently asked questions
Does an agent need a licence in Thailand?
There is no mandatory state licence for a real-estate agent in Thailand. Reliability is shown instead by company registration in the DBD registry and membership in the Thai Real Estate Broker Association (TREBA). Georid surfaces the DBD status where available.
Can a foreigner buy a resale condo through an agency?
Yes, if the unit is inside the building's 49% foreign-ownership quota — the agency should confirm the remaining quota and the seller's title before any deposit. Villas and land are normally held on a 30-year leasehold or through a Thai company.
Who pays the agency commission in Thailand?
On new-build sales the developer usually pays the agency, so the buyer's price is the same as going direct. On resale and rentals the split is agreed in advance — get it in the written service agreement before viewings.
Do agencies handle rentals and resale too?
Yes — long- and short-term rentals, resale listings and post-purchase management. Ask which languages they work in, how each listing is verified, and whether they help with the FET form and opening a Thai bank account.
