Property agents and agencies

The agencies listing property on Pasaran. Bali agency practice is not exclusive — the same villa is frequently marketed by several agencies at different prices, so who you deal with affects the price you are quoted.

Choosing an agency

Ask who they act for

An agent is normally paid by the seller, from the sale price, which means their duty runs to the seller and not to you. That is not a scandal — it is simply the arrangement, and knowing it changes how you read the advice you are given.

Because listings are rarely exclusive here, the same property can appear with several agencies at several prices. It is worth checking whether a property you like is also listed elsewhere before you commit to one channel.

  • Listing count and reply rate are measured by Pasaran. Everything else on an agency profile is written by the agency.
  • Never let an agent recommend the notary. Appoint your own, independent of everyone in the transaction.
  • Ask what happens to your deposit and who holds it. The answer should be a notary, in an account, with conditions.

What verification covers

A “Business verified” badge means Pasaran checked the agency’s company registration. It does not vet individual agents, does not confirm any listing, and is not a licence check. Each listing carries its own verification rows and those are the ones that decide whether the paperwork exists.

Working with an agent well

Give them a real brief — area, budget, ownership type, remaining lease you would accept, and what you intend to do with the property. A vague brief produces a long list of viewings and a wasted week.

Then keep the thread on Pasaran so the property, the price discussed and the dates agreed are all on record. If you would rather deal with the builder directly, The the developer directory lists who is building what.
