Realtor temporary permit application deadline 31 Oct

Real estate agents whose offices are located in non-commercial buildings will have until Friday next week to apply for their temporary licences. As many as 32 applications had been submitted to the Housing Bureau as at October 15. Of these, 21 were approved, two denied and the remaining nine are still being assessed. The licences allow real estate agents to register their business in an office located on the ground floor of residential or industrial buildings. The temporary licences permit them to practice business until August 31, 2019. The authorisation will then expire and cannot be renewed.
