Any real estate developer or real estate agent with projects of more than 500 square meters or more than eight apartments must register under RERA, as per RERA Karnataka. The reason is that the developers will give the buyers the right details of the project and the time for completion.
Registration to RERA Karnataka will make the real estate agents legal and compatible, and will keep them away from any legal complications, and will also enhance their credibility.
The main aim of the RERA Karnataka Act is to make real estate transactions open and transparent. When a developer or agent registers with the RERA, the purchaser is assured that the money he invests is safe.
RERA registration is mandatory in Karnataka and projects cannot be advertised, sold, or booked without the registration. If the developers or agents do not comply with this requirement, they could be penalized up to 10 percent of the cost of the project or even jailed.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
