I am planning to move into a new building in doha and I am dealing with an agent. As per him the contract is with the actual owner. However I want to check if I am not being duped. How do I know if the person signing the contract is the actual owner?

As a Property Consultant in such situations what i suggest

is to read the contract throughly and on the first page

of the contract, the Owner's name will be mentioned with his

Phone no. Ask the Realestate agent who shall take care of

maintainance for the house and ALWAYS! give Postdated Cheques

that too ACCOUNT PAYEE only/// to be on the safe side. Never

give cash to any REALTOR who ask's his commision and normal

commision is 15 days from the client and 15 days from the owner.

Very rarely in EXCLUSIVE Property deals Realtors charge either

1 month or 5% commision..

You won't. Doesn't really matter anyway, contracts mean very little in this country. I think they just sign them for show...
