Real estate agents aren’t just middlemen—they’re regulated professionals under the RERA Act, 2016. Knowing your legal boundaries is key to building trust and avoiding penalties.

What the Law Says:

• Agents must be registered with RERA before facilitating any sale in RERA-registered projects

• Must quote their RERA registration number in all deals and advertisements

• Can’t promote or sell unregistered projects

• Must provide accurate project details—no false claims or misleading ads

• Required to maintain records and documents of transactions

• Can be penalized or banned for unfair trade practices or non-compliance

 Legal Duties Under RERA:

• Ensure buyers get all documents they’re entitled to

• Avoid misrepresentation of approvals, timelines, or amenities

• Cooperate with grievance redressal if disputes arise

• Uphold a professional code of conduct

Agents are now part of a regulated ecosystem—with rights, responsibilities, and accountability.
