The Real Estate Agents Licensing Board will soon have a section on their website that will contain information about the prices of houses being sold in different localities in Fiji.
During REALB consultations at Rups Complex in Nakasi today, Chairman of the board, Dr. Abdul Hassan told Fijivillage this will be done to better inform people about the price range of houses in different localities.
Dr Hassan says they will start gathering information from various localities in Suva then move onto other urban areas.
Dr Hassan adds they hope to have the information on their website by June next year.
He says another step that can be taken to help with this issue is to have the property being sold valued by authorized valuers to know the worth of the property.
Dr Hassan also revealed that there are 23 cases involving bogus agents and they have also received more information about such cases from the Western Division.
He says they are trying to forward all these cases to the Criminal Investigations Department for investigation.
The Chairman revealed the board is trying to get more powers for the Compliance and Monitoring Officers who can prosecute the people involved in illegal activities.
He says this will reduce the time taken to resolve such issues.
The Chairman adds there are currently 80 licensed Real Estate Agents in Fiji who employ other sales persons.
