OVER 70 companies have been blacklisted by the Estate Agents Council of Zimbabwe (EACZ) for allegedly operating outside of the law and duping unsuspecting home seekers of their money.

EACZ blacklisted 74 real estate agents that have been operating in different parts of the country for failure to register with the council as well as fleecing prospective home owners of their hard-earned cash.

The council said most of the victims were lured by advertisements on traditional media as well as social media platforms such as Facebook and WhatsApp.

“The Estate Agents Council of Zimbabwe (EACZ) is concerned with the proliferation of bogus agents fleecing members of the public of their funds on houses to let and for sale scams.

“Property selling and management is a legislated activity that should only be handled by registered agents who are trained and experienced to handle estate agency work.

“Some members of the public are victims of bogus estate agents, who frequently win them over by making advertisements on both traditional and modern media platforms like Facebook and WhatsApp,” said the EACZ.

EACZ advised members of the public that they request to be shown the current year Compensation Fund Certificate and the Personal Registration Certificate of the firm they are dealing with.

“The public is guaranteed protection through the Compensation Fund and professionalism through training and EACZ regulation when they deal only with registered estate agents. However, they have no recourse when they are duped by bogus or unregistered agents,” added the council.
