MahaRERA, through an order dated January 10, 2023, has mandated that new agent registrations and renewals require training and the acquisition of a prescribed certificate.
Vinay Patil, a successful agent based in Pune who passed the exam, emphasized the crucial role of Real Estate consultants in the sector, serving as a vital link between Allottees and Promoters while facilitating numerous real estate transactions.
Highlighting the significance of the fraternity as key stakeholders for allottees, Patil stressed the importance of possessing a comprehensive understanding of real estate transactions. This knowledge, he noted, is essential for guiding allottees and preventing potential disputes.
Expressing gratitude for the initiative taken by MahaRERA, Patil commended the competency exams, part of the Capacity Building and Certification Program. These exams, designed for individuals embarking on a new entrepreneurial journey in the Real Estate sector, provide comprehensive training. Patil believes that the training, coupled with RERA exams, will contribute to maintaining consistency in practices. Furthermore, he expects it to enhance participants’ knowledge and awareness of the regulatory framework and practices of MahaRERA.
An ‘agent’ in the real estate sector plays a crucial role as a link between home buyers and developers. They are often the initial point of contact for customers, providing primary information about projects. Recognizing their significance, all agents in this sector are required to be well-versed in the important provisions of the RERA Act. Ensuring uniformity, consistency, and clarity in delivering essential information about regulatory provisions such as the Agreement for Sale, Allotment letters post-registration, built-up area, defect liability period, etc., is crucial. Customers base their home-buying decisions on this information, prompting MahaRERA to make training and certification mandatory, prioritizing customer interests.
