Customers/ customer / costume / costumes /  pay the consulting / consult / consultant / console / consolation / council / counsel / councilor /   fee only one time and can get professional information about real estates deals. Such service can save consumers a lot of time, but if customers contact illegal agencies, which have no license or are not members of a city or county association, they will very likely have to deal with problems such as the same house being sold to more than one buyer, fraud and fake contracts. When these problems happen, exploited customers have no protection at all.

To provide a legal, safe and well-protected environment for customers, the president of the Association of Real Estate Brokers / agency / dealer and a lot of legislators have worked very hard to establish the real estate brokers regulation law, which was passed in 2000 and put into practice at the end of 2003 to regulate all the agencies.

This law was established not only to develop a license system for real estate agents, but also to generate guarantee deposits and special permission regulations. With this law, customers can have a professional and well-protected environment in the real estate business. Besides, real estate agents' licenses are given to those agents who have undergone specific training. Once they are trained, they will be capable of helping customers find their ideal real estate, offering them information about the real estate, the environment, market analysis, taxes, and even long-termed planning.
