In a significant move, MahaRERA has made it mandatory for new real estate agents, as well as for renewals, to undergo training and get certified. This decision was announced through an order on January 10, 2023.
Moreover, MahaRERA has taken strict action against agents who failed to meet the mandatory requirements. As of April-end, the authority had suspended the registration of over 20,000 agents who failed to complete the necessary training and certification by December 31, 2023.
In the real estate sector, agents play a crucial role in connecting homebuyers with developers. They provide preliminary information about projects to potential homebuyers, making them a vital link in the transaction process.
To ensure that agents are well-versed in the provisions of the RERA Act, MahaRERA has made training and certification compulsory. Agents are expected to provide accurate and reliable information about developers, projects, agreements, and other vital aspects, enabling homebuyers to make informed decisions.
MahaRERA's efforts to regulate the real estate sector and protect homebuyers' interests are commendable. With the certification of 4,165 new agents, the authority is moving closer to its goal of ensuring a transparent and trustworthy real estate market in Maharashtra.
