Accreditation of International Real Estate Professionals

AIREP accreditation.

Buying a property can be a daunting task, buying a property in a foreign country even more so. Generally in our home country we are somewhat conversant with how the property industry works, who can intermediate in a property purchase, and who can offer us legal advice and guide us through conveyance and acquisition. When we go overseas though we are completely in the dark, not only do things work differently and different laws exist but on many occasions even what we understand as “law” or “legal system” can be something completely alien. It is the case that some countries regulate their real estate sectors, and in such cases AIREP accreditation helps the consumer identify those professionals who comply and in addition who meet further requirements designed by AIREP to protect the consumer. There are other countries that don't regulate at all, in these cases AIREP accreditation shows that a professional has been assessed by AIREP and meets requirements specifically designed to protect the consumer.

AIREP accreditation shows firstly that a professional operates legally in the country where he/she is based. Further to this it shows that the professional meets a series of requirements specifically designed to help protect the consumer, his interests and his money. Lastly AIREP accreditation shows that a professional has an insurance policy in place which will cover his mistakes and the damages caused by them should these arise.
