One thing I’ve encountered as a Bangkok real estate agent, is that some companies have what they call a “preferred agent” which they strongly encourage their expatriate executives to use. More often than not, these are agencies with relations in the HR department who may understand what HR wants but not necessarily what you want! What you and I call “Western standard” can be a totally different concept to some of them, so be sure to explain your requirements and needs to your appointed agent as thoroughly as possible to avoid wasting your time. You have the right to choose whichever agency that best understands your needs. You’d usually find that agents not appointed by your company tend to try a lot harder than these “preferred agents” because they don’t think you are obliged to use them. They work very hard to make sure you choose them over your company’s preferred agent!
