Are Real Estate Agents Required to be Licensed in Indo ??

"Brian, are real estate sales people in Indonesia required to be licensed?" - Mark

Mark, great question !!  Thanks for asking this one. 

In Indonesia, real estate salespeople are not required to hold a license in order to conduct a real estate transactionReal estate salespeople represent either the buyer or the seller, but not both.  Here is a link wihich explains a bit more about the Indonesia real estate scene

The usual commission on a residential real estate sale in Indonesia is 5%. For a commercial sale, the commission is generally 3%. The commission is paid by either the buyer or the seller but not both.

Business agreements between foreign and Indonesian real estate salespeople are made in writing.
