Real Estate Agents are professionals who act as intermediaries between sellers and buyers of
real estate/properties. The estate agent assists buyers to source for properties and markets
properties for owners and earn a professional fee for each successful transaction he completes
be it property sales or rental. A registered estate agent is also able to own and operate a real
estate agency and recruit negotiators to work under him.
In Malaysia, Real Estate Agents must be registered with the government. The first step to being
registered is to study for the Diploma course offered by Good Institute. Find out more by referring

2) How do I become a Real Estate Agent?
Firstly, you need to register for the Estate Agents Examinations set by the Board of Valuers,
Appraisers, Estate Agents and Property Managers (BOVAEP). You must obtain a pass in
all 12 subjects of the exam. Upon passing the estate agent's examination, you need to register
as a probationary estate agent and pass the Test of Professional Competence. You will receive
your real estate license upon completing these steps.

3) Why do I need an Estate Agency License?
The law requires every Real Estate Agency to be run by Registered Estate Agents. Each estate
agent may recruit 50 negotiators to work under their supervision. The Estate Agency License
also increases confidence of clients. It is a recognition by the Board that the individual's
knowledge and skills have reached a professional level. License holders may setup their own
agencies and receive full compensation for their own transactions too. Individuals who wish to
practice without a license may join a real estate agency as a real estate negotiator. They
however will be required to pay a significant portion of their professional fees to the agency. They
are also not allowed to recruit personnel. Call us now at 03-5880 5052 / 017 222 5991 to find out more.
