Why This Matters: The Role of Real Estate Agents
According to MahaRERA, agents play a crucial role as the first point of contact for homebuyers. Their responsibilities go beyond connecting buyers and sellers:
- Educate buyers on key legal aspects:
- Model Sale Agreements
- Carpet Area definitions
- Defect Liability Period
- Allotment Letters
- Ensure compliance with RERA norms
- Promote ethical practices and transparent transactions
MahaRERA’s Certification Mandate
To enhance professionalism, MahaRERA has made training and certification mandatory for agents. The aim is to:
- Build trust among homebuyers
- Promote standardized practices
- Remove unqualified or non-compliant brokers
Many of the 18,693 deregistered agents were removed due to:
- Non-renewal of licenses
- Failure to complete certification
- Incomplete compliance with documentation
National Influence: Agents from 150+ Cities Registering with MahaRERA
Interestingly, MahaRERA’s influence now goes beyond Maharashtra. Agents from 150+ cities outside the state have voluntarily registered, including from:
- New Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida
- Bengaluru, Hyderabad
- Ahmedabad, Goa, Patna, Prayagraj, Jammu
This shift underscores Maharashtra’s dominance in India’s real estate landscape, especially in Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) and Pune, which remain top investment destinations.

“Certified agents are key to a regulated property market. They build transparency and protect buyers’ interests,”
— MahaRERA Spokesperson
