Infinity Academy urges consumers to look beyond the FFC and ask for proof of a recognised real estate qualification.

Buying or selling property is one of the biggest financial transactions most consumers will ever make. The person handling that transaction should have the knowledge, training and professional standing to justify the professional fee being charged.

A Fidelity Fund Certificate (FFC) is important, but consumers should not confuse an FFC with a formal real estate qualification.

Before appointing an estate agent, ask:

• Can I see your valid FFC?
• Can I see your SETA or QCTO qualification certificate?
• Do you hold a professional designation such as PPRE?

Consumers pay commission for a professional service. They therefore have every right to know what qualifications, knowledge and experience stand behind that fee.

Qualified Property Practitioners have invested in education covering property transactions, contracts, legislation, ethics, compliance and consumer protection.

That qualification should count.

Consumers check the qualifications of attorneys, accountants and other professionals. Why should the person entrusted with selling a property worth hundreds of thousands — or millions — of rands be different?

Infinity Academy encourages qualified Property Practitioners to proudly display their qualifications and professional designations.

Your qualification should be your competitive advantage.

Before agreeing to commission, know who you are appointing and what professional credentials they bring to your property transaction.
