TS EN 15733

TS EN 15733 is a European standard that sets out requirements for the provision of real estate agent services. Its focus is the professional delivery of brokerage and advisory services in property transactions involving buyers, sellers, tenants, landlords and investors. The standard addresses how the service is provided; it does not regulate the property market itself.

A professional framework for service delivery

The standard is intended for both business-to-business and business-to-consumer real estate services, helping to define a consistent level of service across different client relationships. Its scope also extends to services provided by electronic means and over the internet, so online listings, remote communication, digital documentation and other modern service channels fall within the same general service framework.

Legal compliance and the primacy of national rules

Real estate activity is subject to national legal requirements in many countries. TS EN 15733 therefore places clear emphasis on compliance with applicable European and national legislation, and states that such legislation takes precedence where requirements conflict. In practical terms, the standard should be read alongside local licensing, consumer protection, contract and disclosure rules; it does not by itself confer legal authority to operate as a real estate agent.

Real estate agent services combine information handling, client communication, needs assessment and transaction support. The value of this standard lies in providing a common professional reference for delivering that service in a structured, consistent and traceable way across different channels and customer types.
