(VOVworld) - Property brokers must pass examinations to get certificates to practice, according to a circular issued by the Ministry of Construction recently.

This is being done to revamp the operation of brokers in a real estate market showing signs of recovery. Accordingly, provincial and municipal construction departments will be in charge of organizing the examination at least once a year, or they will authorize eligible organizations such as real estate associations. The certificate will be valid for five years from the date of issuance.
