    • Private Homes: Fees range from 10-20% of monthly rental income.
  • Tenant Placement Fees:
    • Agencies often charge 50-100% of the first month’s rent for tenant placement, depending on the property value and lease term.
  • Advertising and Promotion Fees:
    • Agencies may charge extra for professional photos, online ads, or local media listings.
  • VAT:
    • Thailand’s VAT is 7% on some services, including property management.
