The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, better known as RERA, was introduced to create transparency and accountability in the Indian real estate market. A major mandate under this law is that real estate agents must register with their respective state’s RERA authority to operate legally. RERA was established to regulate the real estate sector and safeguard the interests of homebuyers. However, it also sets clear rules for intermediaries like property brokers and real estate consultants. Under RERA, agents are not allowed to promote or assist in property sales for any project that is not RERA-registered—unless they themselves are registered with the authority.

If you’re involved in real estate dealings such as buying, selling, or advertising property, you’re required to register. This includes:

• Independent real estate agents
• Brokerage firms
• Real estate consultants
• Property dealers or freelancers

1. Legal Compliance-Operating without a RERA registration is illegal and may attract penalties.
2. Builds Client Trust-Customers are more confident dealing with officially registered agents.
3. Access to RERA Projects-Only registered agents can deal in RERA-approved real estate projects.
4. Professional Recognition-A RERA registration number serves as a badge of credibility in the competitive market.
