Legal Liability and Legal Obligations API & RAICV in Valencian Community.
To sell well, a property, must be focused on three key areas, and not in API & RAICV..
The key to finding the right property is almost always about finding the right Agent to assist you in all the process until the last rug to the main door .
It is not mandatory to hold the API title, as the API title is only one of the methods by which you can DEMONSTRATE the necessary Professional Qualification.
If you have worked in public relations in different countries, for + 30 years, and you speak multiple languages, and have extensive experience with clients of different nationalities, you don't have to prove your professionalism with a quick course, but you prove your professionalism through personality, a positive mind to see the solution in the middle of the problems that arise, resistance to stress, flexibility in changes, and customer satisfaction.
Clients don't always recommend you or leave feedback on your professional profile, but this doesn't mean that you didn't do an excellent job.... sooner or later the results come to Light.
Patience and Trust is the secret code of professionalism.
A Real Estate Agency owner does not require a Sales Agent even if it's Self-employed, to hold the RAICV (Registro de Agentes de Intermediación Inmobiliaria de la Comunitat Valenciana) because registration is a legal obligation of the Agency/Companies (legal entity or PFA that carries out the activity), not of each individual agent Employed or Collaborator.
According to Decree 98/2022 of the Generalitat Valenciana, the economic entity, that is, the Real Estate Agency as a whole, must be registered in the RAICV and have the mandatory insurances.
Sales agents work under the legal umbrella and license of the agency that employs or coordinates them, thus covering the legal requirement at the entity level.
Registration and maintenance of RAICV requirements (such as bail or civil liability insurance of at least 60,000 euros) fall under the responsibility of the Agency Owner.
Many Sales Agents work as Independents or Collaborators, and the employer cannot impose a cost or regional bureaucracy of their own, as long as the intermediation activity is validated by the Company's headquarters or registered brand !
