Guest tdperhs Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 I'm looking to rent a house in Pattaya for a year or longer and anticipate dealing with Fair Properties. This is a pretty big commitment. Has anyone had any dealings with this organization, positive or negative? On another note, does anyone know of an adult store in Pattaya? I have met Thais with such things but have yet to find a store that sells them, especially vibrators. Thanks Quote
Guest Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 It is best to ask them what they have that meets your requirements and then go to 4 or 5 other places and ask the same. They will all show you something different as many have open listings and many have exclusives. Let me also suggest that you not rely on websites. They are full of shit when it comes to Pattaya and housing. Go to the place, and have them take you around to show you personally what they have. I would be happy to recommend other places I have used or friends have used with success. Quote
2lz2p Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Except for two agencies, my experience with Pattaya real estate companies when looking for a house to rent was not good and I include Fair Properties in that category -- wasted my time showing me two house that didn't even come close to my criteria, which I had given to them in writing. My first rental in Pattaya was handled by Steve with Alan Bolton's agency -- very good person to deal with and responsive. Since I dealt with them, they have moved locations and I now note they have a website with a very good search feature for showing their listed properties at Pattaya Properties I rented my current house through Danny at BB Lets -- he has a website listing of properties and does his best to keep it current - link: BB Lets I used it to inquire about 2 or 3 properties he listed -- he responded quickly, told me he had just rented one of them and hadn't had time to update his listing on that one. He did arrange to show me the other 2 plus a couple more he thought I might like (similar price range, same general location, size, etc.). The first one he showed me was one of these "additional" properties - it was just what we were looking for, but I was a bit reluctant learning it was a Thai owner. Danny explained that he has a contract with the owner whereby he handles everything - maintenance request, rental collection, etc. The lease was straightforward and in English. The bf wanted to negotiate a lower rent - the owner was called, and we got it for 7,000 Baht less than the asking rent (we did agree to lease for 2 years instead of one). Danny has been very good to take care of the couple of maintenance issues that have come up. As I said, I was disappointed dealing with Fair Properties, but others may have had good dealings with them. However, as suggested by GayThailand, add some others as well as Fair Properties. I do recommend the two I mentioned - they may have what you are looking for. Quote
