IT is really a matter of great pleasure and satisfaction that the real estate agents and consultants of Karachi South (Defence and Clifton areas) have succeeded in fostering their unity by merging both previous Associations & establishing a strong organization called Defence & Clifton Association of Real Estate Agents (DEFCLAREA).
I being one of them can fully understand and appreciate the happy feeling which all of us had on the day of 26th Feb 2011, the day on which, the registered members of DEFCLAREA chosen their representatives of respective offices to start working for achieving those cherished goals for which this association has come into being.
As the 1st Elected President of DEFCLAREA I take this opportunity to pay my profound thanks to all my colleagues, who rendered all possible help and assistance in unifying estate agents of the area for achieving their objectives & casted their valuable votes.
As all of us know the disunity in our ranks was cause of our ills. Not only we suffered individually but also collectively. Now our Association will take are of unruly elements and ensure disciplined business in the field of real estate.
We all have to work hard to instill confidence among the customers. Lack of confidence alone has over the year bedeviled our professional life.
It lies on the shoulders of the Association to check malpractice and discourage irresponsible persons and the black sheep so the image of the estate agents is improved.
When this object is achieved, then the real estate business will automatically flourish.
Lastly, I pay tributes to all those who, one way or the other, helped in the merger of both Associations and at the same time I pray to God that it exists forever.
