In India the real estate sector is a very profitable and growing industry. With urbanization on the rise and an increasing need for residential, commercial, and industrial spaces which is seeing a great growth in this sector. A property dealer plays the role of a go between for buyers and sellers of property which in turn see to it that the deals are closed successfully. Although the profession may look simple at first glance, to do well in the field it requires a mix of legal knowledge, market awareness, negotiation skills, and customer service.
A property professional which is also to be known as a real estate agent or broker plays a key role in the property transaction process. They help clients with the buy, sell or rent of properties and also at times play a large part in the advice given regarding the legal, financial, and technical issues related to property deals. Also, that is to say they must have an in depth know how of property laws, market trends, and documentation procedures. Mainly it is the aim of property professionals to see that property transactions go off without a hitch, are very transparent, and at the end of it, all parties leave satisfied.
To in order to do well as a property dealer in Delhi, India you must have in depth knowledge of the real estate market. This includes awareness of present day property prices, what are the in demand areas, what the future development plans are, and how government policies play a role. Also a good player is one that is always updated which he does via the newspapers, online sites, real estate magazines, and also by taking part in seminars or workshops.
A knowledge of what different property types there are residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural is also very important. Each category has unique demand trends, pricing structures, and legal issues. Also of note is that property dealers should have a good grasp of the loan and mortgage processes as which which we see many buyers turn to financial institutions for their funds.
In India what we see is that the property market has become more regulated over the years for the benefit of the buyers and also to bring in professional practice into the sector. The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act of 2016 (RERA) put in place a requirement for the registration of all real estate agents and developers. To legally be a property player you must register under RERA in your state.
Registration of your details which includes identity proof, address proof, PAN card, business address and professional qualifications is required. Once approved we will provide you a RERA registration number which is a must to legally run and promote your business.
Also a property developer should get a GST registration if they surpass the set turn over limit. In terms of record keeping that which includes business transactions, client information and income is of great importance for legal and tax compliance. Also it is advised to put in place professional agreements and contracts to prevent future legal issues.
In the real estate which is a relationship based field developing a strong network is a key step to success as a property agent. You must connect with builders, developers, architects, legal advisors and other agents. This network in turn gives you access to more listings, referral business and allows you to provide a wider range of services to your clients.
Develop in your relationships with banks and financial advisors which also is to our benefit as many of our clients do come to us for loan help.

Offline networking through attending industry events and going to local meetups is of equal value to having a presence on professional platforms like LinkedIn. As time goes by a well connected property dealer gains credibility and becomes a trusted name in the community.
Starting out as a property dealer you can go at it alone or with a team. Many a time dealers begin from home or a shared space which is great for the bottom line. Though having a professional office in a good location does a lot for your rep and credibility. The office should be a pleasant setting which includes brochures, property lists and what is needed for client meetings.
