Out of the 6,755 who passed, 5,637 were male and 1,118 were female.
Additionally, 264 senior citizens from across Maharashtra also cleared the examination, with 13 of them being women.
Notably, the eldest candidate to pass the exam was 84-year-old Daulatsinh Gadhvi from Mumbai.
This latest phase of the examination is part of MahaRERA's ongoing efforts to ensure the competence and professionalism of real estate agents in the state.
Since the introduction of the mandatory competency exams in January 2023, over 20,000 real estate agents have successfully cleared the tests.
MahaRERA has been stringent in enforcing the new regulations.
In May 2024, the authority suspended the registration of over 20,000 agents who failed to comply with the training and certification requirements.
There are currently around 47,000 registered real estate agents in Maharashtra.
In addition to the competency exams, MahaRERA has implemented several other measures to enhance transparency and accountability in the real estate sector.
Real estate agents are now required to make half-yearly progress reports public, providing detailed information on projects they are handling.
This initiative, introduced in February 2023, aims to keep homebuyers informed about the status of their investments.
To further protect homebuyers, MahaRERA issued guidelines on January 18, outlining the key factors to consider before purchasing a property.
These guidelines emphasize the importance of due diligence and the need to work with registered real estate agents.
Developers are also required to submit quarterly progress reports to MahaRERA, and homebuyers are encouraged to monitor these updates through the MahaRERA website.
In case of any complaints, homebuyers can directly contact MahaRERA for assistance.
The Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) is a statutory body established under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, to regulate and promote the real estate sector in the state.
MahaRERA ensures the rights and interests of homebuyers and developers are protected, fostering a transparent and fair real estate market in Maharashtra.
Through these stringent measures and continuous efforts, MahaRERA is paving the way for a more professional and trustworthy real estate market in Maharashtra, benefiting both homebuyers and real estate professionals.
