THE Malaysian Institute of Estate Agents (MIEA) will be waging a war against the country’s illegal real estate agents and property negotiators.

Its president Siva Shanker said the crackdown with the theme ‘Is Your Real Estate Agent Real?’ was in line with the new ruling requiring real estate agents to wear their practising tags issued by the Board of Valuers, Appraisers and Estate Agents Malaysia from tomorrow.
