Professionals from the sale of real estate are determined to regulate their labor segment. It even introduced a bill to Congress, which provides guidelines for the exercise of this office, restricting access for those who do not have adequate training for such purposes.
With this measure, the Association of Real Estate Companies (AEI) has among its objectives the integration of all Realtors in the country, in the words of its new president, Alenny Garabito.
"We want to group all the people we know are in this business, but do not belong to our guild to become stronger and work for our business," said the president.
Garabito explains that this activity goes beyond the simple sale of a property, since it requires high levels of commitment and responsibility. And is that customers are at risk of losing a lot of money or can engage in legal trouble, when they resort to makeshift brokers without proper vision and ability to determine what should be done on every transaction.
It will create rules that govern the actions of these professionals and will ensure good practice in a segment that significantly affects the national economy.
Becuase it's that the scope of real estate sales plays a decisive impact on the economy of any country, thanks to its power generator of jobs and a home place on the list of priorities of the people.
That is the origin of the initiatives of the AEI. The president of the IEA said that this business is likely to attract people who, for some reason, decided to sell or rent houses, although they do not have the required skills or recognition of the state.
"There are many details to consider when selling a property that go beyond presenting the property and sell one of them is also whether the client can afford to finance."
States that brokers must be professionals who know the national tax system, laws, marketing and other knowledge of the market.
EFFORTS
The association offers courses for members each month, to strengthen and update the knowledge acquired to real estate brokers on the market developments and information is useful for the exercise. Courses are endorsed by facilitators with years in business and proven experience.
There are new brokers interested in integrating deeper into the real estate world.
Another project they intend to implement is to open a channel of communication with foreign embassies in the country, in order to be aware of who are professionals, backed by the guild.
Their concern is that people that want to buy, sell or rent property are at risk of being scammed.
RATE
The president of the Association of Real Estate Companies expressed concern about recent increases in interest rates, as sales have dropped considerably.
Real estate brokers demand that the authorities of the Agricultural Bank and the rest from the State provide them with safety for the funds deposited in that bank from rental contracts.
