Please grant me the opportunity to introduce our company, Certification Accreditation and Dissemination S.L., an organization set up and officially registered to audit, assess and record.

I write to make you aware of an initiative that we have recently launched and which I feel may be of interest to your members / users. The initiative is called “AIREP” or “Accreditation of International Real Estate Professionals”, and our principle objective, is to show consumers investing in overseas property, just “who” meets the mark.

What AIREP isn't:
AIREP is not a club, association, federation or other self governed body of real estate agents.

What AIREP is:
AIREP is entirely independent and assesses and certifies legitimacy and capacity of international real estate professionals.

Above all, AIREP is dedicated to bringing standardization and transparency to what is sometimes a very murky, difficult to understand and opaque international real estate industry.

These days, the press and more so the internet, are full of people and companies selling real estate or real estate related products overseas, but which of them are actually qualified or even legally allowed to do so? Many belong to associations or federations of one type or another, but which of these bodies have any real authority or legitimacy in the country in which the person or company operates, or where the consumer wishes to acquire real estate?

AIREP accreditation is designed, to enable real professionals that trade legally and who have legitimate qualifications, to be able to demonstrate this to the consumer, and for the consumer to better understand the legality and capacity of the persons, or companies, offering their products and services.

After assessing information about a professional or company, (including amongst other factors, compliance with local laws, qualifications granted in or recognised by the country in which they operate or where they sell property, and demonstrable experience within the international real estate sector) AIREP awards pertinent certification where it proceeds.



It is also worth mentioning that to give its AIREP accredited real estate professionals a head start within an ever more competitive industry, and property buyers, a safer place to search for their property, Certification Accreditation and Dissemination S.L. have recently acquired TheBigMover.com property portal. read more……

Accreditation costs start at just 350 euros per year (for autonomous professionals and small companies). The first year's accreditation also requires a one off 50 euro fee for the initial assessment.

The actual accreditation process works in the following way:

1. The applicant pays the initial assessment fee and supplies the required documentation (the assessment fee is non returnable whether the applicant qualifies for accreditation or not).
2. We put together a detailed report about the applicant, and assess if same qualifies for accreditation. A copy of this report is made available to the applicant.
3. The applicant pays the accreditation and registration fee.
4. We proceed to register the accreditation of the applicant in our archives, we add their particulars and details of their accreditation to our web based directory and send certification of their accreditation for them to display publicly in their place of work. We also register the applicant for the services exclusively available to AIREP professionals on TheBigMover.com property portal. read more…….

As an incentive for Spanish Real Estate forum users to acquire AIREP accreditation we propose a discount of 20% on their first year's accreditation fee.

Please let me know if you would be interested in helping us with this initiative.

Kindest regards,
Matthew Fitzpatrick,
Chief executive officer
