{"ai_json_enabled":true,"answer":"Yes. A written representation agreement helps ensure your interests are protected. It should clearly state that you are the buyer, outline the agent\u2019s duties, whether the representation is exclusive, and who pays the commission. It should specify the property or properties covered, the duration of the agreement, and how either party can terminate. It\u2019s also useful to include what documents the agent will share with you (title deeds, permits, encumbrances) and a process for disclosures and updates. If the agent handles multiple listings, ask for separate agreements per property or a clearly defined scope. Have the draft reviewed by an independent adviser or Thai lawyer before you sign, and keep a written trail of all disclosures and negotiations.","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":"decision","conversation_parent_slug":"what-should-i-ask-a-property-agent-in-hua-hin","conversation_reason":"A written agreement is a practical, concrete step to protect your interests and set expectations before proceeding with an agent.","conversation_root_slug":"what-should-i-ask-a-property-agent-in-hua-hin","created_at":"2026-10-12T19:25:36+00:00","daily_publish_cap":3,"date_published":"2026-10-13","display_date":"2026-10-13","drip_batch":"2026-10-13","drip_status":"daily_auto_published","freshness_warning":"Property availability, prices, ownership rules, taxes, fees and legal requirements can change.
