“There is a lot of discrepancy in the real estate business” because of the way agents function, said Farook Mahmood, founder president of NARI and managing director of Bangalore-based Silverline Realty. “We hope to evolve a uniform code of ethics for the members and also have provisions for punitive actions.” An integral part of the new body is the certification course.
