As per the circular issued on January 10, 2023 by MahaRERA, it is mandatory for the property consultants/ real estate agents to undergo training and secure the necessary certificate to get themselves registered for the first time as well as for renewal of their licence.
In the real estate industry, an agent plays a pivotal role as they are an intermediary between the homebuyer and the developer. Usually, the property consultants are the first point of contact for the flat purchaser. In fact, an agent provides preliminary information related to the project to the homebuyer, thereby acting as an introducer of a housing project. Hence, it is crucial that this important stakeholder of the realty industry should be aware of the provisions under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. It is their responsibility to provide homebuyers with the necessary and crucial information pertaining to the model agreement for sale, allotment letter, defect liability period, carpet area, facilities and amenities, rules on parking slots, etc. They play an important role in ensuring there is uniformity and implementation of the RERA Act, 2016, and also in clarifying homebuyers’ doubts. Apart from the flat purchaser accessing project related information from MahaRERA’s website, details provided by the property consultants assist the homebuyers in firming up their decision to purchase a certain property.
Therefore, in the interests of the homebuyers, MahaRERA has made it mandatory for the real estate agents to undergo training and secure the certificate.
