Listing Your Property with a Chiang Mai Agent — What Do You Need to Prepare?

Listing Your Property with a Chiang Mai Agent — What Do You Need to Prepare?

Listing your property with a professional Chiang Mai agent typically results in faster sales at better prices than selling alone. But good preparation is essential. This guide covers every step.

Step 1: Choose the Right Agent

Check that they
- Are a TREBA member or hold professional certification
- Have experience selling similar property types in the same area
- Have a verifiable track record and reviews
- Communicate clearly and respond quickly
- Have comprehensive marketing tools

Step 2: Prepare Key Documents

For land: Original title deed, owner's ID and house registration, spouse consent letter, front and back photos of title deed

For a house: Title deed, building permit, extension permits (if any), owner's ID, spouse consent letter

For a condo: Condominium unit ownership certificate (OrChor 2), common fee receipts (no outstanding balance), owner's ID, spouse consent letter

Step 3: Set the Right Price

How to price correctly
- Ask the agent for a Comparative Market Analysis
- Verify actual sold prices of similar properties in the same area
- Check Treasury Department appraised value
- Calculate transfer day costs in advance

Common pricing mistakes
- Setting 10-15% above market: property takes too long to sell
- Setting too low: unnecessary loss of income
- Not calculating transfer costs before setting the asking price

Step 4: Prepare the Property for Photography

Before shooting: Deep clean everywhere, remove personal items, repair minor defects, tidy the garden, open all lights and curtains for natural light

Step 5: Sign a Consignment Agreement

Key terms: agreed sale price, commission and conditions, consignment period (typically 3-6 months), agent scope of work, cancellation conditions
