Course Background

The certificate course is a collaborative initiative of National Real Estate Development Council (NAREDCO), Human Settlement Management Institute (HSMI) of Housing and Urban Development Corporation (HUDCO) and Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) for real estate agents, property brokers, sales persons, commercial and customer care executives and sales and home loan agents working any where in India.

Transactions in the real estate market are primarily linked through sales persons and brokers. Brokerage activities relate to selling, leasing, renting, managing, lending, soliciting and negotiating in return for compensation. Property transactions over the years have become very specialized and complex. Therefore, it is necessary for brokers and sales persons to acquire specialized knowledge of property laws and market operations. Further, brokerage practices in India need to be regulated through a code of conduct developed by NAREDCO.

Course Objective

To impart specialized knowledge and skills to real estate agents, sales persons and direct sale and home loan agents in real estate principles, property laws, financial appraisal, brokerage and professional conduct.

The participants would acquire the requisite functional skills and practically apply the concepts internalized from the course. They will be benefited by a sound understanding of the real estate sector as also equipped to advise the clients confidently, thereby meeting their expectations. The certificate would give them greater acceptability in the market which is dominated by fly-by-night operators and unscrupulous practitioners operating in a climate of distrust. Under the circumstances, the customers would prefer to deal with NAREDCO certified sales agents as against those who are not. This shall lead to an improved climate for ethical dealings which will give a fillip to the real estate sector.
