Why should I use a real estate agent in Thailand?

Unlike western countries, real estate agents in Thailand are responsible not just for the introduction of the parties but for all the administration of the sale and purchase including organizing the inventory, electric and water transfer papers, ID and passport details, and attending the land office (which can be an all-day attendance). If the client is not using the services of a lawyer the agent will co-ordinate all the paperwork and get it ready for the land office staff but we dont recommend not using a lawyer unless you are very familiar indeed with Thailand.
