Over 50000 Real Estate Agents Registered with MahaRERA

The Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) has achieved a significant milestone with the registration of 50,673 real estate agents across the state.

However, only 31,980 of these remain active, with 18,693 deregistered for failing to meet regulatory requirements, including mandatory certification and timely renewal. The majority of active agents are concentrated in the Konkan region, which includes the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), accounting for 21,050 registrations—more than twice that of the Pune division, which has 8,205 agents. Other divisions such as Nagpur (1,504), North Maharashtra (490), Sambhajinagar (343), and Amravati (237) trail significantly behind. MahaRERA has tightened its enforcement around agent responsibilities in recent years. Under the current framework, real estate agents must undergo training and obtain certification to retain their licences. A failure to comply has led to a sharp number of deregistrations, reinforcing the regulator’s focus on standardising the sector and ensuring greater consumer protection. “These agents are often the first point of contact for homebuyers. Their role is not limited to brokering deals but includes educating consumers on critical aspects such as the model sale agreement, carpet area, defect liability period, and allotment letters,” said a MahaRERA spokesperson. “This helps in fostering transparency and empowers homebuyers to make informed decisions.”

Interestingly, MahaRERA’s influence has now spread beyond Maharashtra. Agents from nearly 150 cities outside the state—including Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Gurgaon, Ahmedabad, Goa, Patna, Prayagraj, and Jammu—have chosen to register under MahaRERA. According to the authority, this trend reflects Maharashtra’s continued dominance in the real estate sector, particularly in high-growth hubs like MMR and Pune, which draw significant investor interest. MahaRERA has also emphasised that the move towards certification and regulation is part of a larger strategy to protect consumer interests and build credibility in the real estate ecosystem. Officials believe that a trained and certified agent pool will not only create a more reliable property market but also curb malpractice and reduce consumer grievances.

The authority’s firm stance on compliance is expected to serve as a model for other states aiming to bring transparency and professionalism to the real estate sector. As MahaRERA strengthens its regulatory framework, the emphasis remains on balancing industry growth with the protection of homebuyer rights.
