Who can be an estate agent in France?
In order to be an estate agent, it is necessary to obtain authorisation from the local government administration. Access to the profession is regulated and only individuals who have a certain level of qualification (a law degree for example) or experience (ten years salaried experience in an estate agency) can obtain the authority to practice as an estate agent. This authorisation is renewed on an annual basis.
