Real Estate Broker Association Eastern Seaboard (REBA-ES)

It?s about time! That?s what many people said back in May 2006 about the creation of the Thai real East Coast Real Estate Brokers Association.

Just a few months earlier, we had met with several leading real estate agents and had the opportunity to discuss our common interests in working to create a more professional real estate industry on the east coast.


About six months later we contacted Khun Paisan bandityanond (rabbit resort) and he asked if he could help the east coast agencies set up a local real estate group to improve their skills.


Khun Paisan bandityanond, currently the honorary chairman (and mentor) of Reba eastern seaboard, has extensive experience in the real estate industry in the United States and was the original founder of the real estate brokers association of Thailand in Bangkok.


As was obvious to everyone from the beginning, joining the real estate brokers association of Thailand was what they thought was best for real estate professionals throughout the region. They then decided to contact some of the more reputable agencies to join each other for a brainstorming session to find out what might be of common interest to real estate professionals.


Ten (10) leading local real estate companies attended the first REBA Eastern Seaboard meeting and, to everyone's surprise, they were all eager to support each other as a local real estate service organization. Everyone was excited about the possibility of actually working together to make their east coast real estate industry safer and more professional, and eight (8) of these initial companies were formed as charter members? East Coast Real Estate Brokers Association.

East Coast Association of Realtors?the first task was to translate the code of ethics and the rules and regulations of the Association of realtors in the field of real estate into English, and then analyze them with the help of a subcommittee created by them.... The end result was that they unanimously agreed that the code of ethics and rules and regulations are very good, very positive and that Eastern seaboard group wants to comply with them in order to promote best practices in real estate in our regions.
It was then decided that in order to promote good and organized real estate practices, the East Coast Association of Realtors would have to engage real estate agents and brokers with appropriate training and testing, which the group began implementing through the "Education and Qualifications Subcommittee." The band?the purpose of S was to start searching and identifying... reputable real estate agencies and individuals through scheduled seminars, trainings and exams.

The next step in the organizational process was to enable the East Coast Association of Realtors to avoid disputes and unacceptable real estate practices by establishing an effective and efficient dispute resolution process. Did the group organize ?The Subcommittee on Professional Standards has its own Dispute Resolution Board, which will allow local members to successfully bypass most of all disputes and resolve those that arise in our business community.

Having done an incredible amount of work, the group decided that it was time to get closer to Thailand?The Association of Realtors to discuss the interests of the East Coast Group supports the goals and policies of Reba Thailand.

Khun Paisan bandityanond then contacted the President of the Real Estate Brokers Association (Dr. Somsak) and arranged a meeting to which Reba invited three local Thai real estate professionals and three local foreign real estate professionals to attend the meeting.

The results of this meeting exceeded the expectations of local groups. On behalf of Reba, Dr. Somsak and his board offered eastern seaboard group everything they had hoped for. At the end of the meeting, the East Coast contingent received the following responsibilities from the East Coast Realtors Association of Thailand:

1. Preliminary review of Reba membership candidates.

2. Monitoring and control of Reba members on the East coast.

3. Settlement of conflicts arising between Reba members on the East coast.

4. Receive complaints from customers, employees, developers and agents.

5. Investigate and investigate any violations of Reba member rules and regulations or the Code of Ethics and report these violations directly to Reba?To the Management for further analysis and action.

Everything they hoped for! The East Coast Real Estate Brokers Association Group is currently on its way to creating the first organization in the East Coast real estate market?.and is it right to serve the real estate industry, which has grown more than tenfold??in less than three years!

It was on Wednesday, May 10, 2006, when the REBA eastern seaboard group held its first meeting. Three Reba es sub-committees have been set up and countless hours of work have led to the creation of a very cohesive and mutually supportive group of real estate professionals. Examinations, training and seminars of the association of Realtors in real estate have already started in our region.


Yes, a local group of real estate agents completed basic real estate training covering the transfer of ownership of land, buildings and dwellings, as well as the rules and regulations of proper real estate brokerage in early November 2006, and a further seventeen (17) local real estate agents passed the brokerage exam in the last week of November 2006 to become associate members of REBA from our east coast region.


REBA eastern seaboard group now has all the necessary documentation to officially invite new members of the real estate agency to its ranks, and in the near future additional examinations and training of the Association of Realtors in our region are already planned.


In less than six months, east coast real estate brokers association has three active subcommittees ........The ten members of the agency and their approximately 30 + agents, as well as the members of Reba es, foresee that when they open the doors to new members, their group will certainly start to grow, because they now firmly believe that they have the right basis to present and disseminate the benefits of the real estate brokers association to the east coast real estate community.


The availability of trained and dedicated real estate professionals will undoubtedly benefit many property owners, buyers and renters throughout the Greater East Coast region.


Reba ES has two ?like what? membership, which means regular?Lawyer? Members (agency / broker) and associate members (agents / brokers).
