Mandatory Certification for Real Estate Agents
As per MahaRERA’s circular issued on January 10, 2023, it is mandatory for property consultants and real estate agents to undergo training and obtain certification to register or renew their licenses.
Real estate agents play a critical role in the industry, acting as intermediaries between homebuyers and developers. They are often the first point of contact for flat purchasers and provide vital preliminary information about housing projects. Their responsibilities include informing buyers about key aspects such as model agreements for sale, defect liability periods, carpet areas, parking rules, and project amenities, in line with the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA).
By ensuring that agents are well-versed in the provisions of the RERA Act, MahaRERA aims to empower them to guide homebuyers effectively, thereby fostering greater transparency and uniformity in the real estate sector.
This initiative underscores MahaRERA’s commitment to ensuring that agents uphold the rights and interests of homebuyers while promoting compliance with the RERA Act, 2016
