The Registrar decides who can get a licence to be a real estate agent. The Registrar issues, cancels, and suspends licences, and does other jobs related to licensing as outlined in Part 3. The Registrar also helps the board of the Authority with administrative tasks. The Registrar does any other job given to them by this Act or other laws.
