Even in realty sector, ‘colorums’ abound
A group of real estate professionals decried the rise of “colorums” or unlicensed salespersons as detrimental to the sector due to persisting delays in the release of real estate salespersons’ licenses. In the transport sector, colorums are public vehicles which ride on the franchise or license of a different unit. The Accredited Real Estate Salespersons or ACRES recently held a consultation meeting with the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development to address the concern. Among those discussed were the proposed revisions on HLURB Board Resolution 922-14, particularly those affecting the real estate practice. Anthony Gerard Leuterio, founder of A Better Real Estate Philippines, an advocacy coalition and mother organization of ACRES, reiterated in an interview the need for the timely release of licenses of real estate salespersons. “We just want things to be efficient because we are promoting nation-building. We are talking about thousands of salespersons wanting to help the real estate industry flourish. And more importantly, if we are delaying the process, it will create more ‘colorum’ practitioners,” he explained. Simple vs simplistic Meanwhile, ACRES national president Chris Malazarte noted that the policies provided for by Republic Act 9646 or the Real Estate Service Act Law and BR 922-14 are “simple, but the experiences of the salespersons during registration are not simplistic.” “There must be a way to make the experience more encouraging for aspiring registered salespersons. This will lessen the evil we’ve been wanting to avoid — ‘colorum’ sales agents,” Malazarte added. Before selling real estate properties, salespersons are required to secure licenses from DHSUD and the Professional Regulatory Commission. They are also required to join the online oath-taking. About 80 percent of sales are closed by a real estate salesperson. ACRES has a growing membership, from accredited real estate salespersons to those who intend to make their real estate sales practice-compliant. Its membership now stands over 3,000 real estate salespersons nationwide. The post Even in realty sector, ‘colorums’ abound appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
