Training and certification mandatory for registration of agents with UP-RERA, – Homevior


NEW DELHI: Uttar Pradesh real estate regulatory authority (UP-RERA), taking into account the important role of the real estate agents and associated lack of skills, discipline and sense of responsibility in many of them, has decided to impart ‘three-day training’ to them and also provide certificates on successful completion of such training.

This training is compulsory for already registered agents also whose registrations can be cancelled if they fail to successfully complete this training within a year. No individual or agency can obtain registration to work as real estate agent without successfully completing such training.

RERA was initially obtaining online applications of agents from Lucknow for enrollment in the training and has now directed all the registered agents from the districts of Lucknow, Gautambudh Nagar, Kanpur, Gorakhpur, Varanasi, Prayagraj and Moradabad to enroll themselves for training by way of online application on the website of UP-RERA.

Sanjay Bhoosreddy, chairman, UP-RERA said, “there are about 7,000 agents registered with UP-RERA and that RERA has been closely monitoring the work and conduct of the agents. We have come across such instances where the home buyers have suffered because of the lack business ethics and professionalism in such agents. We thought that with a good short-duration training and orientation course, their skills can be suitably upgraded.”

The authority has signed MOUs with reputed training institutes for organizing the training programme of agents and the agents who are successful in the examinations following the training will given certificates under the signatures of the secretary.

Quite often, it is observed the consumers suffer because of the agents not guiding them properly and because of the agents giving them misleading information and making false promises.

The authority wants that agents should inculcate proper work ethics, they should have sufficient knowledge of their work, sufficient knowledge of RERA Act, RERA Rules, other relevant laws and rules, orders and directions of UP-RERA.
