In some countries, there are more or less educational requirements, in some of them, there are none. Therefore the activities of property agents and managers require increasingly more rigour, professionalism, in-depth knowledge in areas as varied as law, taxation, insurance, economics, accounting, building technologies, sociology, financing mechanisms, information technology, town planning, regional planning, etc. Furthermore, this knowledge must be constantly updated by continuing training. As a result, a non-negligible number of players in the property sector may not have all the guarantees needed to protect the consumer.
