What is AIREP ?

What AIREP isn't:
AIREP is not a club, association, federation or other self governed body of real estate agents. Nor is it a company pretending to be a club, association, federation or other self governed body of real estate agents (surprisingly these do exist).

What AIREP is:
AIREP is an entirely independent enterprise that assesses and certifies legitimacy and capacity of international real estate professionals.

Above all, AIREP is dedicated to bringing standardization and transparency to what is sometimes a very murky and opaque international real estate industry.

These days, the press and more so the internet, are full of people and companies selling real estate or real estate related products overseas, but which of them are actually qualified or even legally allowed to do so? Many belong to associations or federations of one type or another, but which of these bodies have any real authority or legitimacy in the country in which the person or company operates, or where the consumer wishes to acquire real estate?

AIREP accreditation is designed, to enable real professionals that trade legally and who have legitimate qualifications, to be able to demonstrate this to the consumer and for the consumer to better understand the legality and capacity of the persons or companies offering their products and services.

After assessing information about a professional or company, including amongst other factors, compliance with local laws, qualifications granted in or recognised by the country in which they operate or sell property and demonstrable experience within the international real estate sector, AIREP awards pertinent certification where it proceeds.
