India’s RERA-Registered Real Estate Agent Base Crosses 100,000 Milestone, Up 19%: eXp Realty India
Gurgaon, May 16, 2026: India’s real estate sector is experiencing a steady expansion and accelerated formalization, with the total number of RERA-registered real estate agents nationwide officially crossing the 100,000 threshold in 2025. The findings were revealed in the latest market research report released by eXp Realty India.
The comprehensive study analyzed official data from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) tracking agents registered under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA) between 2018 and 2025. The data highlights a profound evolution in India’s brokerage market, with the registered agent base skyrocketing from 27,073 in 2018 to 105,712 in 2025. In the most recent tracking period alone, the number of compliant professionals grew by 19.1%, signaling a highly structured and transparent marketplace.
Commenting on the industry shift, Sam Chopra, President and Country Head of eXp Realty India, said: “The growth in the number of registered agents across India is a clear reflection of how dynamic and accessible the real estate sector has become. We’re seeing more professionals enter the market than ever before, attracted by the opportunity to build a business in a sector that continues to expand. Chatting about the changing landscape, the way agents operate is evolving. There is a growing demand for models that provide flexibility, scalability, and the ability to work without the limitations of traditional structures. At eXp, we’ve helped support this shift by providing a cloud-based platform that allows agents to operate more efficiently and connect with opportunities both locally and globally. As the market continues to grow, we expect to see further adoption of models that prioritise efficiency and connectivity, helping agents to maximise their potential in an increasingly competitive environment.”
Market experts note that the steady uptick in registrations points directly to the rising scale of India’s property market and a major influx of new talent into the industry. It further underscores a broader systemic transition toward organized and legally compliant brokerage practices following the initial rollout of the RERA framework.
As robust housing demand persists across both major metropolitan cities and emerging tier-2 and tier-3 markets, a growing number of professionals are treating real estate brokerage as a viable, long-term entrepreneurial career. Consequently, the industry is seeing heightened interest in modern business setups that allow agents to operate independently while still leveraging advanced technology, corporate training, and expansive referral networks.
The report concludes that platform-led brokerage models are playing an increasingly vital role in this transformation. By arming agents with cutting-edge digital tools and comprehensive backend operational support, these modern platforms are enabling professionals to better navigate a highly competitive, fast-moving property market.
