Hi All,
I am an expat living in Bangkok for over a year and half now and have been contemplating to start something of my own.
Inviting all of you to share some insights on how it is to be a Freelance Real Estate Agent in Bangkok.
I would appreciate comments not considering the current pandemic situation, rather how was it pre-COVID, perks / remuneration of an agent, recognition if any and prerequisites.
I do come with little background of Real Estate and working as a freelance agent in India.
Cheers
Harry

Not a good Idea ... In my opinion..
My wife is Thai and she use to buy and sell condos when the Market was good..
In the US you sign a contract with the agent . Here in Bangkok they have contracts but
hardly adhere to the rules.. Very hard to make any money.. A lot of under the table and cheating going on...
Best of luck

Thanks for your response Rocky..
A couple of points:
1. Your wife worked as a freelance agent or with a real estate company?
2. When you say difficult to make money - is it delay in getting the payment or parties just don't pay the agent?
The rest of what you mentioned happens all the time, I believe its the network that helps you sail through..
Cheers
Harry
