Time to stand together.

Amidst all the controversy surrounding the persons involved with the regulator, there seems to be a wider feeling that if only the Real Estate Profession could bury its narrow interests it should be able to regulate, educate, act for labour, and promote our industry. This is also the view of Tony Clarke, Managing Director of Rawson Properties. He believes that “We need to get all the stakeholders to unite eg, IEASA, SAPOA , NPF, SSETA etc. He states that and all should be represented in such an endeavour. He also feels that the majority representation should be industry operators.

He says: “Its time we get our act together, set up a professional body and apply for self regulation for our industry. If attorneys can do it, why would we not be able (to do so)?”

It is hoped that the newly formed REBOSA (Real Estate Business Owners of SA) and the restructured IEASA will play a leading role in such an effort.
