Mumbai, 19th May 2025: Subsequent to over 50,000 projects being registered with the Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA), now, more than 50,000 agents are registered with the regulator.
The agents registered with MahaRERA are not only from Maharashtra, considering the numero uno position of the real estate sector of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region and Pune, but also from major cities of several other states. Agents from as many as 150 other cities such as New Delhi, Gurgaon, Prayagraj, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Kanchipuram, Nainital, Goa, Ahmedabad, Patna, Jammu, Indore, among others have got themselves registered with MahaRERA. These many registered agents from other states demonstrate the pivotal role they play in the realty industry, as they facilitate sale between a developer and a homebuyer.
Similar to the most number of housing projects registered in Maharashtra, the state also leads in the highest number of registered agents in India. Currently, there are 50,673 agents registered with MahaRERA. Of these, registration of 31,980 agents is active and 18,693 agents have been de-registered by MahaRERA for varied reasons.
As is the trend, Konkan area, which includes the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, has the highest number of registered agents at 21,050. This is followed by the Pune area with 8,205 registered agents, 1,504 registered agents in the Nagpur area, 490 in North Maharashtra, 343 in the Sambhajinagar area and 237 in the Amravati area.
In the real estate sector, a real estate agent also known as a consultant, plays a pivotal role. They serve as an important link between the homebuyer and the developer. Often, the homebuyers first get in touch with an agent, who in turn guides the purchaser by providing basic information about multiple housing projects. Considering this crucial role of the agents, all of them are mandated to be aware of the important provisions of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016.
Agents are supposed to provide the customer with basic information on regulatory provisions such as the Model Sale Agreement, Allotment Letter, Carpet Area, Defect Liability Period, etc. This helps in ensuring there is uniformity, consistency and clarity during sale of a property. Based on such details homebuyers make a decision to buy a house in a specific project or not. Therefore, keeping in mind the interests of homebuyers, MahaRERA has made this training and certification of agents mandatory. Of the 18,693 de-registered agents, some have not obtained this certificate while others have not renewed their licenses, hence, their termination of their registration.
