Go vows to streamline real estate agents’ registration

Senator Christopher “Bong” Go has pledged stronger support for the professionalization of the Philippine real estate industry, vowing to push Senate Bill 1292 or the “Real Estate Salesperson Registration Speed Act of 2025”— a measure aimed at simplifying the accreditation process for sales agents across the country.

Speaking at the opening of the National Real Estate Convention 2025 at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino on Sunday, October 19, Senator Christopher “Bong” Go, who chairs the Senate Committee on Housing, said the proposed law aims to remove bureaucratic barriers that have long delayed the registration of salespersons, calling it a “significant step forward” in strengthening the property sector’s workforce.

Faster registration means more opportunities for Filipinos to build sustainable careers in real estate and serve clients more efficiently,” Go said in a prerecorded message to participants.

The bill is expected to accelerate the entry of new agents into the industry—seen as critical amid robust expansion in residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments nationwide.
