Olaf Duensing and Jerrold Kippen have been working in their capacities as Partners at DUENSING KIPPEN and as members of the American Chamber of Commerce of Thailand’s Legal Committee to explore and possibly prepare a proposal to the Thai government regarding regulating the professional practice of real estate agency in Thailand to accord with international standards. Accordingly, by invitation on Saturday, 24 August 2013, in Pattaya, Olaf Duensing will speak to this much needed regulation at the “Thailand Real Estate Future, ready for AEC 2015″, How you see ASEAN integration and the proposed “licensing” for Real Estate Agents working?” forum organized by The Real Estate Sales and Marketing Association of Thailand, in conjunction with the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the world’s leading real estate association, who have joined forces to present this educational forum. The NAR’s global headquarters is in the United States with a membership of over 1.3 million individual members and 80 Real Estate organizations with more than 60 countries connecting a worldwide real estate network of global markets. The event organizers hope that this will be “the first step towards standards for the Thailand real estate industry and real estate licensing for agents.”
