Rayong's property market runs on two tracks: condo towers serving the EEC industrial corridor and Rayong City, and houses, pool villas and land around Ban Phe and the Gulf-coast beach towns. This guide covers the province's established agencies for buying, selling and renting, where their offices sit, typical commission ranges in Thailand, and how to vet a firm before you view a property, sign a lease or hand over a deposit.
Rayong's real estate market is shaped by the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) — Map Ta Phut, the Eastern Seaboard and Amata City draw corporate and BOI-sponsored relocators into condo towers and rental houses near Rayong City — alongside a separate beach-town market of pool villas and land around Mae Ramphueng, Mae Phim and Ban Phe (the Koh Samet ferry pier). Thailand has no single licensing body for real estate agents, so vetting is on you — office presence in the province, years of operation and independent reviews matter more here than anywhere a formal license would otherwise do the work. Below are the province's established agencies, typical commission ranges, and how to protect yourself, especially given that foreigners cannot hold land or houses directly in their own name.
Based at 100/28 Moo 1, Phe Klaeng Klam Road, Phe Subdistrict, Muang District, Rayong 21160 (English tel. +66 (0)93 496 6615, Thai tel. +66 (0)92 343 6330, email fredrik.skoglof@homeservicerayong.com). A local company with Thai and Swedish staff listing houses, pool villas, condos, land and commercial property for sale around Rayong's beach areas — Mae Ramphueng, Mae Phim and Ban Phe — as well as in-town properties, and offering ongoing service for owners renting out or managing a property from abroad.
Office at 111/14 Moo 3, Klaeng Subdistrict, Muang District, Rayong 21160 (mobile +66 (0)92 545 3287, email nainarayong@gmail.com). Lists villas/houses, condominiums, commercial property and land for sale, plus houses and condos for rent, with a dedicated "want to sell" intake for owners — one of the few Rayong-based firms covering both the sales and long-term rental sides of the market rather than specializing in one.
Local RE/MAX-branded office serving Mueang Rayong district (tel. 038-026-470), part of the RE/MAX Thailand franchise network that also covers the wider Rayong-EEC condo, house, land and commercial market. The franchise brand gives buyers a recognizable name and a shared listing platform with other RE/MAX Thailand offices, though — as with any franchise — service quality depends on the individual local team, so confirm the specific agent's experience with Rayong before committing.
These are general Thailand market conventions, not fixed or agency-specific rates. Always confirm the exact commission and fee structure with the agency in writing before viewing a property.
| Service | Typical range | Notes |
| Sales commission | ~3% (commonly 3-5%) | Usually paid by the seller; negotiable, get it in writing |
| Rental agency fee | ~1 month's rent | Sometimes split between landlord and tenant |
| Ongoing property management | ~10-20% of monthly rent | For agencies offering full management; confirm scope and inclusions |
| Property viewings | Usually free | No charge to buyers or tenants at most agencies |
Unlike Thai lawyers, who must be registered with the Lawyers Council of Thailand, real estate agents in Thailand aren't required to hold a government-issued broker's license. Vetting is on you: confirm the agency is a registered Thai business (ask for its Department of Business Development company registration), check how long it's operated in Rayong specifically, read independent reviews on Google and Facebook, and visit the office in person before committing to anything.
Rayong's EEC-driven market mixes condo towers near the industrial estates with houses, pool villas and land around Ban Phe and the beach towns, so due diligence differs by property type: a condominium unit title check for towers, or a chanote (title deed) land search for houses and land. Use your own lawyer for that check and for reviewing any lease, corporate housing agreement or Thai company structure, even if the agency offers in-house legal support — see our Rayong lawyers guide for typical fees and BOI/EEC-specific considerations.
Foreigners cannot directly own land or a house-and-land package in Thailand; only condominium units can be held in a foreigner's own name (subject to the building's 49% foreign-ownership quota). Rayong's condo stock — concentrated in Rayong City and near the EEC industrial corridor — is the practical route to direct ownership; houses, villas and land are typically accessed via a long-term lease, a Thai spouse's name, or a properly structured, genuinely trading Thai company — never a nominee arrangement set up purely to hold land on a foreigner's behalf, which is illegal.
Thailand-wide, sales commission is typically negotiated around 3% of the sale price (commonly quoted in a 3-5% range) and is usually paid by the seller; rental agency fees commonly run about one month's rent, sometimes split between landlord and tenant. Corporate relocation packages for EEC-assigned staff sometimes bundle agency fees into a company-paid housing allowance — confirm the fee structure and any exclusivity terms in writing before you commit.
Cross-check any listing against DDproperty, Hipflat and FazWaz, and confirm current availability and pricing directly with the agency rather than relying solely on how recently a listing page was updated. For corporate or BOI/EEC-sponsored relocations, also ask whether the agency has direct experience placing staff from nearby industrial estates (Map Ta Phut, Eastern Seaboard, Amata City) — that track record matters more in Rayong than in tourist-driven markets.
There's no single government licensing body for real estate agents anywhere in Thailand. Vet an agency yourself: check how long it's operated in Rayong, confirm it's a registered Thai business, read independent reviews, and visit its office in person before committing to a purchase, rental or deposit.
No, not directly in their own name — Thai law reserves land and house-and-land ownership for Thai nationals. Foreigners typically access houses, villas and land via a long-term lease, a Thai spouse's name, or a genuinely trading Thai company structure. Condominium units are the one category foreigners can own outright, subject to a building's 49% foreign-ownership quota, and Rayong does have a meaningful condo stock in Rayong City and near the EEC corridor.
Thailand-wide norms apply: sales commission (typically around 3%, sometimes quoted 3-5%) is usually paid by the seller, and rental agency fees (commonly around one month's rent) are sometimes split between landlord and tenant. Always confirm the exact fee structure with the specific agency in writing before viewing properties.
Yes. Agencies market and negotiate; your lawyer independently checks the condo unit title or chanote land title, confirms the property isn't encumbered, and reviews any lease, spousal-name arrangement, Thai company structure or corporate housing agreement. See our Rayong lawyers guide for typical legal fees and BOI/EEC-specific considerations.
Home Solution Services Rayong and Naina Rayong both list properties for sale and for rent, which covers most corporate and long-stay housing searches; ask any agency directly about experience placing staff relocating for Map Ta Phut, Eastern Seaboard or Amata City industrial-estate assignments, since that track record varies by firm.
