KUALA LUMPUR: From this month, all registered real estate negotiators are required to wear the identification tag issued by the Board of Valuers, Appraisers and Estate Agents (BOVAEA) as proof of their legitimacy during the course of doing business.

“All the negotiators, including project marketing staff who sell property for developers in the sales gallery, shopping complexes, hotel function room or exhibition halls are required to wear the tag,” Estate Agents Practise Committee chairman Eric Lim told participants at the launch of the public awareness campaign for the national registration exercise of real estate negotiators yesterday.
