My Dear Lady (a Thai National) wants to sell some Farmland near CNX. We've been told it could be developed as a Resort. Now I'm not trying to flog it off through the Forum, I just need some help on how Real Estate Agents operate. My understanding is: Agent will advertise and Market the property and charge 3% Commission on the sale

I can't get a decent answer as to "How and where it is advertised nor can I get anyone to tell us how we are kept up to date on how things may be proceeding." Is there an AGENT in Thailand who, even if they want a larger commission, is PRO ACTIVE in the marketplace and ready to INFORM the seller of how things are progressing???

Thanks,

Thanks again for all the info, May I now prevail upon you good folk to enlighten me on the following:

1: Have a One Third share in a house in Aust along with my daughter and my to be Ex-wife (She and my lady here have met both here and in Aust. They get along well...Lucky me!) (The Aussie "Ex-to-be"and I have been married twice to each other ,the last time was 15 years ago and we broke up after only a few weeks) I imagine from what I have seen on Thaivisa.com that my "interest" in the Aussie house won't cause a problem when I apply for Aged Pension. Am I correct?

2:My lady is 11 years younger than I am. We also intend to adopt a 7 year old child (not my Lady's) but the child of a distant relative. I gather that once all the above takes place it should be simple enough to get PR Status and then in time Aussie Citizenship for both of them. Again, am I correct?

Sorry to sound so dumb but when I came to live in Thailand two years ago it was to WORK. Never intended having a relationship, let alone adopting a child but I now wouldn't change my situation for all the money in the world, not even the Australian Aged Pension!

Cheers,

Many thanks to Nignoy and everyone for their info. Much appreciated and I'll attempt to phone Centrelink in Australia on Monday. Fully expect to be "put on hold" and/or have to select from a dozen "options" while trying to get a Real Live Public Servant to talk with.

Will let you know the results as it looks as though there are many other Aussie Expats in a similar situation. My first posting on Thaivisa.com and I'm overwhelmed at the response.

heers,
