has made great strides towards raising the level of professionalism throughout the
country and its members have a very realistic understanding and view of the domestic
market which is a fundamental requirement for engaging in cross-border transactions.

Chairmans Message
My dear Friends,
I am very happy to present to you the 6th Annual Convention of
NAR-INDIA. The National Association of Realtors-India (NARINDIA) was established six years ago as the apex national level
organization of real estate brokers, representing various parts
of the length and breadth of the Indian sub-continent. It is an
organization which aims to elevate the standards of practice of
the real estate brokerage business to a global level where ethics,
transparency, accountability, rule of law and good governance
prevail. The objectives of NAR-INDIA are to streamline and
promote the profession of real estate brokerage in India. NARINDIA has completed 6 years of its existence and this is a very
important milestone in our journey.
I take this opportunity to thank NAR of USA for their continued support to nurture NAR-INDIA and
help it grow to this strength. In particular, I would like to place on record my gratitude to Norman
Flynn, Janet Branton, Jeff Hornberger, Baro Shalizi, Zachariah Benjamin, all from NAR, for their constant
encouragement and hand holding. NAR-INDIA strongly believes in the strength of relationships and
continues to maintain international affiliation with IRPF, NAR, ICREA, FIABCI, MIPIM and FINAIM. NARINDIA also continues to maintain its relationship with the National Housing Bank ( NHB ), the countrys
housing finance regulator under the Reserve Bank of India, Government of India. The efforts of NARINDIA to participate in the preparation of the national residential property index called RESIDEX is
laudable.
We continue to carry forward the process creating a Multiple Listing Service exclusively for NAR-INDIA
members, an activity that was initiated last year. The Newsletter of NAR-INDIA is being circulated
regularly and informs all the member representatives about the latest developments in various member
associations as well as in the industry. Soon, we are to have an internal magazine of our own. Educational
initiatives have also been improved and are in the process of being rolled out. We continue our efforts
to lobby with the government for the Real Estate Regulatory legislation. Initiatives specially designed for
women realtors are also in the pipeline.
Ethical business practices and customer service are the building blocks on which NAR-INDIA stands.
The real estate brokerage business in one of the largest service sector businesses in the world and
the consumer is at the centre of the activity. Providing quality and credible service is the hallmark of
the profession. Raising the standards of real estate practice to global levels of excellence continues to
be our endeavor. NAR-INDIA has grown substantially over the last five years. Today, spread across 26
member associations in India with an overall reach of over 26,000 brokers, NAR-INDIA is firmly set on
its path as the voice of realtors in India. On completion of one more successful year at NAR-INDIA, I
take this opportunity to congratulate President Sachin Shroff, incoming President Hira Lal Bagra ( from
Kolkata ) and all the Office Bearers, Governing Body members, members of the General Body, Pushpa
Srinivasan, GM of NAR-INDIA, along with other staff, for tirelessly working and contributing to various
