@Greatlou
can an individual work as an agent such as listing, arrange viewings without a REN title? Answer is no.
Agency is an institution and broker is a person. It's 2 different things altogether.
The prescribed qualifications to be registered as a Real Estate Agent are; according to the list as stated in the website (www.lppeh.gov.my).
Having attained the qualification, the person must register himself as:
a Probationary Estate Agentundergo a two (2) year post practical training with a registered estate agent and maintain a work diary.Having fulfilled the above, he has to submit two practical tasks and to be interviewed by a Boards interview panel (called Test of Professional Competence). After passing the TPC, he/she shall then apply to register with the Board where an Authority to Practice Estate Agency called Form I will be issued. He is then called a registrant or registered person or a real estate agent (REA).
Broker is basically a unlicensed property agent and it is illegal in Malaysia. Pls read up here: http://propertyagent.gov.my/faqs/
