FAQs
What are the benefits of taking the Ghana real estate certification course?
Taking the Ghana real estate certification course offers several benefits, especially for the global African diaspora.
Firstly, it provides essential education on the home-buying process in Ghana, including critical differences in land and immigration laws compared to other countries (like the U.S.).
Secondly, for those intending to sell real estate, passing the course and subsequent testing leads to certification, allowing them to join the Ghana Association of Real Estate Brokers (GARB) and be listed on the government's official React database as an approved professional.
This certification enables individuals to earn income by facilitating real estate transactions in Ghana from anywhere in the world, either through referrals or by actively managing deals with local partners.
Lastly, beyond professional gains, the course serves as a vital tool for the diaspora to reconnect with their ancestral home and understand their identity, fostering community and enabling self-sufficiency within the Black community globally.
Can individuals practice real estate in Ghana without physically moving there?
Yes, individuals can practice real estate in Ghana without physically moving there, although options exist for relocation. The certification course is online and on-demand, allowing people from anywhere in the world to become certified. Once certified, individuals can work with partner firms like Ewells Realty and Consultancy in Ghana. If they intend to move to Ghana, Ewells can help with the work permit process for selected agents. However, for those remaining abroad, inter-office contracts facilitate transactions. Certified agents can refer business for a set commission or take on more active roles, doing "most of the work" from afar, thereby earning a larger commission (e.g., a 50/50 split).
