An ‘agent’ in the real estate sector is a very important link between home buyers and developers. Agents are often the first contact customers make. Clients get the primary information regarding the project from them.

Considering this importance of agents, all agents working in this sector should know the important provisions of RERA Act. Uniformity, consistency and clarity in providing basic information about regulatory provisions like Agreement for Sale, Allotment letter issued after registration of house, carpet area, defect liability period etc. Because It is on the basis of this information that consumers make a home buying decision.

Therefore, MahaRERA has made this training and certification mandatory keeping the customer’s interest in mind.
