{"ai_json_enabled":true,"answer":"To confirm an agent truly represents you, start with a written representation agreement that states you are the buyer and outlines the agent\u2019s duties, exclusivity, and commission. Ask whether the agent represents the seller, the buyer, or both (dual agency); if the listing is exclusive, get that in writing and note the listing duration. Clarify who pays the commission and whether any portion goes to the seller\u2019s side, and request a clear breakdown of any fees you\u2019d be charged. Ask the agent to share documents they\u2019ve checked about the property (title deed, permits, access rights, and any known issues) so you can compare with what the seller provides. For independent validation, consider having the property details reviewed by a Thai lawyer or independent adviser before signing. Keep a written trail of all disclosures, emails and contracts, and slow down if terms are unclear or if pressure tactics appear. The goal is to ensure you have written confirmation of representation and real protections before moving forward.","answer_source":"openai_conversational_breadcrumb","category":"Property Agents","category_slug":"property-agents","confidence":"grounded_in_approved_property_guide_context","conversation_depth":1,"conversation_followup_type":"clarify","conversation_parent_slug":"what-should-i-ask-a-property-agent-in-hua-hin","conversation_reason":"This directly follows from the agent-representation topic and helps buyers avoid dual-agency confusion while prompting written proof and independent verification.","conversation_root_slug":"what-should-i-ask-a-property-agent-in-hua-hin","created_at":"2026-09-13T19:24:15+00:00","daily_publish_cap":3,"date_published":"2026-09-14","display_date":"2026-09-14","drip_batch":"2026-09-14","drip_status":"daily_auto_published","freshness_warning":"Property availability, prices, ownership rules, taxes, fees and legal requirements can change.
