ORIGINAL POSTER

For Real Estate in Bangkok what is the common real estate commission for agents?

There is a property we are looking to make an offer on and I’d like to do it without an agent to save on the commission. 

The question is, is there a service that will facilitate the transfer of the deed with the government and arrange all the paperwork? 

Anyone used anything like this that was not also the real estate agent?

TLDR : Answer Summary

In Bangkok, the common real estate commission for agents is approximately 3%. If you're looking to purchase a property without using an agent to save on commission, you can handle the transaction directly at the land office with the seller. During this process, both parties typically share the transfer fees, which have reportedly been reduced recently.
