India’s RERA-registered real estate agent base crossed 100,000 in 2025, reflecting steady growth and increasing formalisation in the country’s real estate brokerage sector, according to research by eXp Realty India.

The research analysed data from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) on agents registered under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act between 2018 and 2025. The findings show that registered real estate agents increased from 27,073 in 2018 to 105,712 in 2025.

The agent base grew by 19.1 per cent in the latest period, highlighting the rising scale of India’s real estate market and the shift towards organised and compliant brokerage practices after the implementation of RERA.

Sam Chopra, President and Country Head, eXp Realty India, said the growth reflects the increasing accessibility of the real estate sector and the entry of more professionals into the market. He added that agents are seeking flexible and scalable models supported by technology, connectivity and operational efficiency.

The report also noted growing interest in platform-led brokerage models, which offer digital tools, training, marketing support and wider market access. As housing demand continues across metro cities and emerging markets, more professionals are viewing real estate brokerage as a long-term business opportunity.
