Its main objective is to simplify real estate transactions, whether sale, purchase, rental, rental management or Airbnb concierge services, by ensuring a bond of trust between the parties.
Real estate agencies in Morocco offer a variety of services, such as assessing the value of real estate, disseminating real estate advertisements (apartments, villas, land, offices, etc.), negotiating terms of sale or rental, and monitoring administrative and legal procedures. The agencies have in-depth knowledge of the local real estate market, offering advice and useful information to clients to help them realize their real estate project.
Professionals who work within a real estate agency, such as real estate agents, are qualified to provide quality customer service, estimate real estate prices, negotiate contracts, and efficiently manage real estate transactions. Additionally, agencies can also offer complementary services, such as real estate investment consulting, and other real estate-related services, depending on market needs.

The steps to create a real estate agency in Morocco
To create a real estate agency in Morocco, you will need to follow the following steps:
Research and market study : Before you get started, it is essential to carry out a market study to identify the needs, opportunities and competition in the real estate sector in Morocco. You will also have to choose the geographical area where you want to carry out your activity, based on the potential and demand of the local market. For example, you can opt for cities like Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakech, Tangier, Agadir or Fez, which offer a dynamic and diversified real estate market.
It is essential to prepare a solid business plan that presents your objectives, your business model, the services you offer as well as your marketing strategy. The business plan constitutes a complete guide for the development and growth of a real estate agency, providing clarity, structure and precise objectives to guide all strategic actions and decisions.
Choice of legal form : You will then have to choose the legal form of your real estate business or your real estate agency, according to your needs, your budget and your strategy. You can opt for a limited liability company (SARL) or a simplified joint stock company (SAS), which remain the most appropriate forms for a real estate agency activity when starting out.
Each legal form has its advantages and disadvantages, particularly in terms of share capital, liability, taxation and management.
Obtaining the negative certificate : you must request a document which confirms that the name of your company is not already taken and that it can be registered in the commercial register and the tax administration, after having chosen the type of company you want to create.
Company registration: You must register your business with the Regional Tax Directorate to obtain a professional tax number (TP) and a tax identifier (IF), from the tax administration, and affiliate with the National Social Security Fund (CNSS) to social protection for your employees.
Opening a bank account and blocking the share capital of your company : If your share capital exceeds 100 dirhams, you must pay at least a quarter of it into a bank account in the name of your company, and obtain a blocking certificate. If your share capital is less than 000 dirhams, you can deposit it in full or in part, or postpone it until the end of the creation process.
