Under the new regulatory regime administered by the Council for Estate Agencies, the estate agency must appoint a key executive officer (KEO) who is responsible for the overall management of the business and supervision of all its salespersons.
As stipulated under the Estate Agents Act 2010, the KEO has to satisfy enhanced licensing conditions, including passing the CEA’s Real Estate Agency (REA) examination or having equivalent qualifications. The KEO must also demonstrate to the Council for Estate Agencies (CEA) that he has put in place the appropriate policies and procedures for the management of the business. These are stipulated in the Code of Practice under the Estate Agents (Estate Agency Work) Regulations 2010. All practising company directors and partners are also required to pass the CEA’s Real Estate Agency (REA) examination.
The REA syllabus is prepared in the context of laws in Singapore governing real estate agency and related work and shall focus on sale and lease transactions involving private residential, HDB, commercial and industrial properties located in Singapore. The syllabus does not include laws or regulations of other countries governing transactions of foreign properties, and real estate agents are advised to be familiar with such laws or regulations when advising their clients in foreign property transactions.
