last SG · 2008-02-07T10:37:10+00:00

Erm... next thing you know, you will be required to attend lessons to become a waiter...

lionnoisy SG

u can become House Agent without any knowledge in property.

u need attend 90 hours classrooms lessons and pass a written test before sitting
in front of a Taxi wheel

or u need a at least 40 hours training in order become a security guard

But u need none to transact property worths million of
dollars for their clients!!

1.u can become a house agent in 3 minutes!!
The only law requirement is u must attach to a Licensed House Agency.
Therefore,even u cant read nor understand Option etc ,
u can be a House Agent anytime.

Under the laws,u are not required to study or pass any test before
u become house agent.

World class city?

We are much behind HK in regulating house agents.

Pl share with us your experiences with bad agents.

Ermm, to be a house agent, you need to go thru the company's own courses.... Rolling Eyes

Seven_Dragon SG

it takes 3 years course to become an accountant
it takes 4 years course to become engineer
it takes 5 years course to become a teacher
it takes 7 years course to become a doctor....

and it takes 3 mins to become a property agent...
world class Neutral Neutral Neutral i think it's 3rd world standard for property agents... no wonder any tom dick or harry can become one!!!!

1.u have to study and pass the exam before u get a license to
be insurance agent ,taxi driver ,guards,...

2.Co course and exam cant replace the mandatory course and exam.
The personal license make the house agt more valuable
for his license and behave more professionally.

n
That is why, govt is implementing in 2008... all agents are suppose to get their CEHA cert.... by hook or by crook!

so why are u complaining?

Pitot SG

precisely, Its either CEHA or a diploma in real estate.

If you think CEHA is easy, think insurance agents.

lionnoisy SG

1.Accredited Agencies,

Hence, by year 1 January 2009 all accredited agencies will be required to have all their agents accredited.

it is not all must have CEHA. dunt get it wrong.

2.In 2009,u can be a untrained /untested agent in 3 minutes
if u attached to an non--SAEA accredited agency.

3.Remember HDB Listed agent scheme?
Many big agency,including the big boys,all get Listed and non-listed
agency.

4.SAEA is just another form of Listed agency.Waste $$.

5.Government dunt has any laws to make
sure ALL house agent is properly
trained ,
tested,
and individually licensed
before they ask their clients to sign on the dotted line.

Melvin Tan SG

Hi,

Age 21. I remembered 3 or 4 O Level passes required but not sure as it is not listed here.

Found another link that may be helpful from SAEA.

this 1 i dun get it...
but then... 21 years old.... still long..
3 o level passes... im aiming for that....
4 passes is impossible for me.. Crying or Very sad

Melvin Tan SG

Hi,

You can enquire on the O Level part through e-mail with them. I'll try to find out more in the meantime. Apologies that I lack the knowledge on this part Smile

Looks like you have the ambition of becoming an agent? It is a job that does not pay basic and requires lots of hard work but one can get there. "Burning" of weekends is necessary. More importantly, be sincere. Best of luck Smile

REAL ESTATE AGENCY COURSE(REAC)

2.Common Examination for House Agents

SDF Training Assistance Available! (For Company-Sponsored Training)

countdracula SG

the problem is ethics....no matter how you try to certify, you can't certify one to be more moral....

when you have the cj espousing greed, you see lawyers screwing ordinary folks for money.....most recently a teacher saddled with $100k legal debt over a couple of hundred dollars.....

same for housing agents, for an extra 1%, some would deny the best deals for their clients...an additional certificate cannot remove the greed from within...

lionnoisy SG

This is exactly what spore need,NOW!!

....Other changes include:

* the establishment of a public register of real estate agents and salespeople that records any breaches of industry standards;

* requiring licensees to undergo ongoing professional development training;

* requiring real estate professionals to give consumers educational information provided by the authority about their rights plus a written statement to disclose any conflicts of interest.....

Real estate agents should be regulated and supervised using tougher Law. There are many complaints on them from the public. Always see their advertisement litter around the floor. So annoying, always say "No 1 real estate agent in Singapore!" so arrogant

Ravenclaw82 SG

People say 3 types of profession cannot trust. Insurance agent, property agent and car agent. Laughing
