Mumbai and Pune. This year also we had the same and it was good to see BO exchanging
ideas, thoughts and best practices which reassure us that we are building a strong network.
Usually the ROs and the RO staff present during the meetings, however as we grow, we are
seeing that BO themselves are taking the centre stage of the discussions. This shows how the
company is evolving.
India on the other hand is also developing as a country and the government has started
discussions on a real estate regulator. It is not a coincidence that wherever RE/MAX goes the
markets get sophisticated. Our mere presence prompts the real estate sector to improve. We
welcome this move and it is a matter of time when our market gets as regulated as in other
countries.
On the training side we are pleased to inform that our online sessions have been regularly
getting attended by our members. It motivates us to continuously provide relevant training
matching to international standards. Taking the cue from the success of RE/MAX MGM’s
online training initiatives; RE/MAX India and RE/MAX International have also started training
programs online.
RE/MAX participated in Awards function and property shows in Mumbai in March. A continu-
ous commitment of building brand of RE/MAX in a manner which benefits all the affiliates
of RE/MAX. The RE/MAX MGM Facebook page (www.facebook.com/remax.mgm) crossed
the 10,000 likes mark and we are now almost 11,000. This shows we are the most “liked”

BO SPEAK!
Manisha Mehta: Broker Owner RE/MAX MATRIX, MUMBAI
Where do you see market 5 years from now?
Housing prices have soared much higher than the reach of average Indian in the past decade at an
annual rate of 14%. However, price appreciation has slowed significantly during 2012 in the top
seven cities of the country.
Owing to sluggish sales and increased holding and construction cost, the real estate scenario has
found itself in deep waters. It looks like the market will remain in a lull for some time to come. Inves-
tors with money in hand can look for great deals and opportunities due to the distress monitory re-
quirements of builders. Rental housing will take a big jump in the next two years. And then the after a
pause, demand for end use will begin sprouting once again. Because there is a real need for homes.
Fortunately or unfortunately the beneficiary in the entire process seems to be going in the investor’s
favor, one who has the funds and risk appetite to get great deals from the developer and wait till the
time the end user wakes up once again to his needs.
BA SPEAK: Amish Vyas, Broker Associate RE/MAX METRO, Ahmedabad
