Hi all,

Is there anyone who wants to share your good/bad experience about the real estate agents in Myanmar?
Do you have any agents you can recommend?
Thank you in advance.

There's a very informative exchange ongoing in Google Groups'  Yangon Expat Connection about real estate agents. Suggest you request membership.

Hi,

Yes, I have heard a lot of so called horror stories but its never happened to me.
I have arranged for many of my clients to get good accommodations in Yangon.  Never got a complaint until the blackouts started a month ago.
Maybe because I use some of the best agents and tell them exactly what I want.  And I speak the lingo pretty well.

Regards,

Is there anything like a controlling Real Estate Board, or an  organization where agents need to register or need to qualify in order to obtain a license?
Or is it anyone who is a fast talker can name himself a real estate agent.

When my friend came to Myanmar a few years ago, he rented an apartment in a very crammed area for $250 a month, which was pretty expensive for the given "quality." I asked him why he had done so which he replied in a depressed tone: "The house agent persuaded me that it's getting hotter and the apartment has two air conditions and a refrigerator. Before I think "Not bad," he added, "Except that there's no electricity 12 hours a day...usually at night." What a joke!
