I am looking for a good, professional realtor who can help get me what I want to rent / buy at VIP Condo chain. I find many realtors in HH not serious about following through with clients requests and just pushing their own listings so either they dont know whats out there or just dont listen.
Can anyone recommend a professional realtor who is not afraid to roll up their sleeves and work ??
Alternatively does anyone have friends with units for sale or rent there?
Thanks everyone in advance for your responses!

Re: VIP Condo Chain - Professional realtor
Has anyone helped you yet? If not may I suggest walking in and talking to the juristic office, often they will know of apartments for rent/sale.
I'm not a 'professional realtor' (oxymoron?) but I know of a few units up for sale. PM if you would like details.

Re: VIP Condo Chain - Professional realtor
Hi Stevie,
Had to help a mate looking for a gaff to rent last month, so can give you some personal opinions on the four places we looked at... this is just from a RENTING perspective though...
Condo Chain - Not sure how much this helps as you sound like you may not be here in town(!?), but when we went last month reception/office to us to look at a vacant 4th floor unit. I had a wander up and down the (very dark) corridors and saw 3 other 'for rent/sale, call 08-blahblah' signs on the doors. The office did not have these on their books, and the 2 we rang were the private owners, so the point I'm trying to make is the best source, if it's for Condo Chain only units, is likely to be a 15 minute trot down through the floors & stairs. RICHARD.....
FWIW, I've always said on here that while I personally prefer Sport Villa I thought Condo Chain was a better all round building. But after seeing the size of the rooms we did (think it was a 28 or 32m2 studio @ 15k), for the prices (15-20k or 13-18k 6months up), with those obstructive staff and the pitchblack corridors I take all that back. I'm sure there are well looked after and maintained rooms about, and after all we only looked at three, but assuming the better one's are +5k/month then there's better value buildings around... unless the very convenient, very walkable beach access is a top priority.
Sport Villa - IMHO SV is a much better deal, the equavilent unmaintained and scruffy SV 42m2 studio is on average 7k/month short-term compared with CC's 32m2 @ 15k/month. BUT, SV office says 'no availability' until February. SV would not suit everyone looking for a 'family friendly' complex though imo.
Tirra Tiraa - In the end we found somewhere that was far better than the above two in our personal opinion in Tirra Tiraa. 32m2 studios were available short-term, as of last month, for 15k/month and 52m2 (I think) 1 beds for 20k/month. Both of these were with the cheapest owners and on the lower floors. Higher floors or pool/Petchakasem facing, as opposed to train track facing, were 20k (studio) and 25k (one bed). Rooms were modern, clean, very well decorated and equipped, studios had a small kitchenette, 1 beds vitrually a full-on small kitchen ie: elec hob, fan, fridge/freezer, plenty of cupboards, breakfast bar & stools. The whole building seems to be very professionally run, staff very accomodating and friendly, has a good pool (although not sun all day). No food but loads of places outside the gate. Good, cheap WiFi service. Excellent town centre location, but some train noise particularly if you're West facing. Not enough noise to wake you up though imo.
Baan Klang - Probably even better than TT because of the size of the rooms. Brand new, well decorated/equipped 48m2 studios @ 18-22k/month short-term, and 15-18k/month long-term. Prices fluctuated depending on which floor and whether beach or mountain facing. Great town centre location, good WiFi, good pool, 9am-9pm restaurant and I think a gym!? Never stayed there and it's close to Petchakasem Road, so don't know if there's much traffic noise.
Agents - I get the impression owners at CC & SV do not list themselves so much with property agents, whereas TT & BK do more so. These lower-value rentals provide little income but consume a lot of staff resource time... you send a customer's query out to 6 different property owners & wait possibly days for responses, email the customer back who then asks a follow-up query and off it goes again. I'm not an agent but we have a couple of private rentals and I kid you not it's not uncommon that enquiries run to 10-15 emails in and the same out... "is the house equipped with a ladies hairdryer", "a baby is among the party, would you be prepared to go halves on a baby cot if we left it at the house". It's very time consuming and ofcourse this is just questions about our own houses that we know the answer to, I'm not having to send that out to several different property owners. I can understand agents not prioritizing resources in this regard (unless we are there in the office), particularly when the listings are multi-agent up to x6.
Hope the above helps some...

Re: VIP Condo Chain - Professional realtor
SJ - re Condochain. I was sat in reception last week when some kiteboarders were looking for a room and they were quoted 9,000 Baht for a studio and 18,000 for a 1 bed unit. Obviously these are limited to what is on their books.
If you need any info it is best to go to the back of reception , past the lifts, and put your head round the door of the manageress office. She speaks good English and is helpful, I never ask reception anything, it's a waste of time.
As for the dark corridors, flick the switch on the opposite wall to the lift, even daytime!!

Re: VIP Condo Chain - Professional realtor
I did a little investigating of my own last week. You can get quite a bit of info by visiting the development yourself and asking around.
I talked to the front desk staff at VIP. Three one bedrooms were for sale, one 10th floor facing the sea, and two, 18th and 24 th floor were the round end units. All seemed overpriced, considering new developments abound nearby; the18th floor was the lowest at 3.7 or 3.9, and I think these are about 84 sq m. They also had smaller studio units which I did not ask the price on. Management quoted the property as being 19 years old.
