How to check whether you are dealing with lawful estate agents or their assistants (aka Negotiators)?

Hi Folks,

The Board of Valuers, Appraisers & Estate Agents Malaysia has now make it easy and possible for members of public to check through its official web site whether the person you are dealing with is a lawful real estate agent or a Negotiator employed by a registered estate agency firm.

How to check, you may ask?

Just go to the Board's official website and enter any of the following in the relevant search boxes at the site's homepage:
1) the firm's name or its E No. - to check if the firm is a registered estate agency;
2) the agent's name or the person's E No. - to check if he is indeed a registered estate agent;
3) the probationary estate agent's name or E No. - to check if he is indeed a probationary estate agent (meaning those who have passed the written exams and are now en-route to the final Test of Professional Competence);
4) the Negotiator's name - to check whether he is in the lists of Negotiators which all registered estate agency firms have to furnish to the Board on half yearly basis by end of June and December or within one month (or, is it within 7 days? Will check on Circular 2/2006) upon any changes - new recruitment, resignation, dismissal and the likes - in their employment register of Negotiators.

So members of public whenever you want to check whether you are dealing with the lawful party, just click: here!

Cheers,
