WHAT DOES THE HOLY BIBLE SAY ABOUT THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY, AGENTS, REALTORS, AND BROKERS?
Real estate is often viewed through the lens of modern economics, yet the principles of property ownership, stewardship, and wealth have deep roots in ancient wisdom. The Bible, as a foundational text for many, offers profound insights into how land and property should be regarded and managed. Whether you're a believer or simply curious, exploring the biblical perspective on real estate can offer timeless guidance for today's property owners, investors, and agents.
1. The Concept of Land Ownership.In the Bible, the concept of land ownership is deeply tied to the idea of divine stewardship. God is considered the ultimate owner of all land, and humans are merely stewards entrusted with its care. Leviticus 25;23 says, "The land must not be sold permanently, because the land is mine and you reside in my land as foreigners and strangers." This verse underscores the belief that while people may possess land, they should always remember that it belongs to God and should be treated with respe

THE REASONS WHY ALL REAL ESTATE AGENTS IN UGANDA NEED TO BE MEMBERS OF THEIR ASSOCIATION.
Real estate is a highly competitive and dynamic industry that requires its practitioners to stay updated with the latest trends, regulations, and practices. While many agents work independently, it is essential for them to belong to a professional association such as the Association of Real Estate Agents (AREA). In this article, we will explore the reasons why all real estate agents need to be members of AREA and the benefits that membership offers.
Advocacy and Lobbying Efforts
One of the primary reasons why real estate agents need to be members of AREA is the advocacy and lobbying efforts that the organization provides. AREA is a professional association that advocates for the interests of real estate agents and brokers, as well as for the rights of property owners. The association works with government bodies and regulators to develop policies that promote a thriving real estate industry, protect homeowners' rights, and improve industry standards. As a member of AREA,

AGENTS ABANDONING THE PRACTICE OF TOPPING PROPERTY PRICES WITH COMMISSION.
Several years ago, when I first ventured into the Ugandan real estate market, a common practice among real estate agents was to top-up property prices with their commission. This practice resulted in each agent having their own price for the same property. Back then, it seemed like a normal part of doing business, as landlords were often unwilling to pay commissions on their quoted prices.
Agents resorted to topping-up property prices in order to secure their commissions, and the more they added, the more they earned. However, this practice had its downsides, including the hardening of landlords' hearts, locally known as "Okuzimba Omutima." As a proponent of capitalism and a believer in free market economics, I initially saw no issue with agents topping up prices. Buyers willingly paid the quoted price, and yet they had plenty of options to choose from. Moreover, topping-up property prices was not illegal.
However, times have changed, and this practice has become incr

IMAGINE A CITY AS A LIVING, BREATHING ORGANISM.
Imagine a city as a living, breathing organism, where each component plays a vital role in its overall functionality. Credit for this imaginative metaphor, which is currently trending on LinkedIn, goes to Sam Stewart Mutabazi, an Urban Development & Transportation Consultant.
In this metaphorical journey, we'll explore how the transport systems act as the brain, people as the heart, sewage system as the kidneys, green spaces as the lungs, electricity as the eyes, and buildings as the skeleton. Just as the entire human body requires harmony and cordinated balance to thrive, so do cities in order to function effectively.1. Transport Systems: The Brain.In the human body, the brain serves as the control center, orchestrating various functions and ensuring seamless communication between different parts. Similarly, the transport systems within a city act as the brain, coordinating the movement of people, goods, and information. Roads, bridges, public transportation, and digital
