Posted on 27 Sep 2009 | Comments Off

The vibrant property market saw not just burgeoning sales volume but an increase in consumer complaints against real estate agents as well.

To address issues such as what property agents should or shouldn’t do, as well as their duties, the Institute of Estate Agents (IEA) will hold a public seminar on Sept 28 with the theme “Consumers’ Expectations of Today’s Professional Estate Agents”.

At the forum, speakers from Ministry of Manpower, Housing and Development Board (HDB) and the Central Provident Fund Board will address issues such as housing requirements for foreign workers and expectations of housing agents in HDB resale transactions.

It will be held at the HDB Hub Auditorium and the guest of honour is Aljunied GRC Member of Parliament, Yeo Guat Kwang.

An entrance fee of $10 will be charged and it include refreshments.
