Altinkum Real Estate Agency Certification

Didim Chamber of Commerce has voted to introduce new legislation as a reaction to the massive numbers of new estate agencies that have followed property-hunters to Altinkum in droves.  Concern has been raised about the need for some kind of control over the agents, many of whom have no formal training, experience or qualifications in the industry.

This new legislation requires all agencies to have a license to trade as estate agents, and to complete a certification course which covers public relations, deeds procedure, marketing and basic laws.

The Certification programme started on Monday 23rd May 2005 and 120 of Altinkum’s estimated 600 agencies attended. All agencies who do not complete the programme and qualify will be required to cease trading.

This new legislation is extremely good news for prospective property buyers who benefit from the reassurance of knowing they are dealing with a licensed member of Didim Chamber of Commerce.
