MADRID, 6 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Federation of Associations of Real Estate Companies (Fadei) has criticized that within Spain, only Catalonia, has regulation to be able to practice the real estate profession, a sector that represents more than 12% of the national Gross Domestic Product, and has asked the Government regulate it.
“In this sector there are still people who mediate operations of hundreds of thousands of euros without being able to prove the necessary knowledge to do so,” warned the president of Fadei and the Madrid Association of Real Estate Companies (Amadei), Miguel Ángel Gómez Huecas, during the closing of the I National Rental Congress in Madrid.
During his speech, the top leader of the real estate employers’ association criticized the fact that it is “the sector itself that pursues the regulation of the professional activity it represents”, since, in his opinion, this demand should be made by the Government and the people themselves. citizens.
“It should be the Government and the citizens themselves who demand the professionalization of those in whom they are going to place their trust when buying, selling or renting a property. It is the savings of a lifetime that are at stake,” he added.
Likewise, he recalled that “only Catalonia” has a minimum regulation to practice the real estate profession, since in said autonomous community it is mandatory to have the accreditation of Real Estate Agent of Catalonia (Aicat) and to be registered in the registry of real estate agents.
