A good agent welcomes hard questions; a weak one deflects them. Before you commit to working with anyone in Phuket, run through this list.
About the property
- Do you hold a genuine mandate on this listing, or are you forwarding it from another agent?
- What ownership structure does this property use — freehold, leasehold, or company?
- How long has it been on the market, and have there been price reductions?
- Can I see the title deed and the seller's documentation?
About the agent
- How are you paid, and by whom?
- How long have you operated in Phuket, and can you share references?
- What happens after the sale — do you help with handover and utilities?
About the market
Ask for evidence, not opinions. A strong agent backs claims with recent sold prices and current comparable listings. If they have done their online market research, they will answer with numbers, not adjectives.
