Since the inception of the exams, a total of 13,370 candidates have qualified to become real estate agents. This number includes 4,165 from the latest batch, 405 from the maiden examination, 2,812 from the 2nd round, 4,461 from the 3rd lot, and 1,527 from the 4th edition.
MahaRERA has made it compulsory for new real estate agents as well as for renewals to undergo training and get certified, as per its January 10, 2023 order. Currently, there are approximately 47,000 agents registered with MahaRERA in Maharashtra. However, the registrations of 13,785 agents were cancelled due to non-renewal.
By the end of April, MahaRERA suspended the registration of over 20,000 agents who failed to meet the mandatory requirements of training and certification up to December 31, 2023. These agents are now prohibited from transacting in the sector until they meet the specified conditions.
In the real estate sector, an agent plays a vital role in bridging the gap between homebuyers and developers. They are often the first point of contact for flat purchasers and provide initial information about projects. Considering the importance of agents in the real estate sector, it is crucial for them to be well-versed in the provisions of the RERA Act.
Agents are expected to have uniform, clear, and credible preliminary information about the developer, project, Agreement for Sale, allotment letter issued after purchase transaction's registration, carpet area, defect liability period, etc. Based on this information, a purchaser makes a decision to buy a certain residence or not. Therefore, keeping homebuyers' interests at the core, MahaRERA has made this training and certification mandatory.
The high pass percentage of 87% in the fifth edition of the Real Estate Agents examination is a testament to the growing awareness and importance of RERA certification among agents in Maharashtra.
