IPI/BIV (Professional Institute of Real Estate Agents)

The IPI/BIV is the Belgian professional body that regulates professional syndics and real estate agents. Every professional syndic must be registered with the IPI/BIV and comply with a strict code of ethics. The institute grants accreditations, oversees professional practice, handles consumer complaints, and can impose disciplinary sanctions. Voluntary syndics (co-owners) are not subject to IPI/BIV regulation.
