Orange Group Specialists Receive Certificates from the Georgian National Association of Real Estate

The number of certified professionals within the Orange Group team has increased. Company employees completed the Real Estate Agent Attestation Course, prepared for the assessment, and successfully passed the examinations administered by the Georgian National Association of Real Estate (GNARE). Their professional qualifications are now formally confirmed by industry certificates.

Training First, Examination Second

Professional experience alone is not sufficient to obtain the certificate. From September 22 to October 13, 2026, the specialists completed the Real Estate Agent Attestation Course, covering property-related working standards, the legal aspects of real estate transactions, and professional ethics. Only after completing the course did they proceed to the knowledge assessment.

The course ends with an examination, and only those who pass it receive a certificate. According to GNARE, each graduate is assigned a unique code that clients can use to verify that the agent has genuinely completed the certification.

What the Course Covers

The course programme is based on CEPI recommendations and covers 11 topics:

1. the real estate agent’s code of ethics;
2. types of real estate and their characteristics;
3. agent specialisation;
4. marketing of agent services;
5. exclusive agreements and how to present them to clients;
6. legal issues in real estate;
7. taxation;
8. the transaction process;
9. managing an agent’s business;
10. property valuation;
11. banking products and mortgages.

Classes are taught by practitioners from real estate, banking, law, taxation and valuation.

What Is CEPI

The course programme is accredited by the European Association of Real Estate Professions (CEPI), which brings together national real estate associations across Europe. CEPI was founded in Brussels in 1990 and unites national associations of real estate agents and property managers from European countries — more than 30 organisations and over 350,000 professionals. It represents the industry before the institutions of the European Union and sets minimum education standards for agents. The CEPI accreditation of the GNARE course is stated on every certificate.

The Certificate Ceremony

Course graduates received their certificates at a ceremony held by the Georgian National Association of Real Estate. Orange Group specialists were among the graduates.

Who Issues the Certificates: About GNARE

The Georgian National Association of Real Estate was established in 2014. Its objective is to make the real estate agent profession in Georgia more transparent, standardised, and understandable for clients.

The Association:

• establishes standards of practice and professional ethics for brokers and agents;
• provides professional training and conducts certification assessments;
• supports the legislative regulation of the profession and the protection of buyers’ rights;
• represents the U.S. National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) in Georgia.

Georgia Does Not Have State Licensing for Real Estate Agents. How Can You Verify an Agent’s Qualifications?

Georgia currently does not have a state licensing system for real estate agents. Formally, anyone can work as a real estate agent. This makes certification by a professional association one of the few ways to confirm that an agent has the necessary professional knowledge and approaches their work responsibly.

This is especially important when purchasing an apartment in Batumi from abroad and being unable to personally verify every document.

These Are Not the Team’s First Professional Certificates

The new certificates complement qualifications already held by members of the Orange Group team.

Congratulations to our colleagues on reaching another professional milestone!
