Navigating property purchases or rentals in Bangalore has historically involved wading through an unorganized network of intermediaries, unverified listings, and aggressive cold-call marketing. Following strict regulatory enforcement by the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA), operating as a real estate broker or consultant in Karnataka requires mandatory statutory licensing.
