Kiinteistönvälittäjäasetusta

Kiinteistönvälittäjäasetus refers to regulations governing real estate agents in Finland. These regulations aim to ensure a professional and ethical standard within the real estate brokerage industry. The primary legislation governing this area is the Act on Real Estate Agents and Rental Agents (Laki kiinteistönvälittäjistä ja vuokravälittäjistä).

The Kiinteistönvälittäjäasetus outlines the requirements for becoming a licensed real estate agent. This typically includes specific educational qualifications and a period of practical experience. It also addresses the duties and responsibilities of real estate agents towards their clients. These duties often include providing accurate information, acting impartially, and safeguarding client interests.

Furthermore, the regulations may cover aspects such as professional liability, ethical conduct, and the handling of client funds. For instance, agents are often required to have professional indemnity insurance. The legislation also provides a framework for consumer protection within real estate transactions, ensuring that buyers and sellers are treated fairly. Enforcement of these regulations is usually overseen by relevant authorities, who can take action against agents who breach the established rules. The aim is to build trust and transparency in the Finnish real estate market.
