What Is a BelPro Agent?
What Is a BelPro Agent?
BelPro stands for Belize Professional—a title earned only by those who complete rigorous training through the Real Estate Institute of Belize.
A BelPro Agent is a certified real estate professional who has successfully completed:
- The 240-hour BelPro Associate Program, and optionally
- The 60-hour BelPro Elite Capstone Extension
These agents are trained in real estate law, contracts, ethics, client service, and marketing, and are held to high standards of excellence and integrity.
BelPro isn’t just a certification—it’s a symbol of trust.
Every BelPro Agent is assigned a unique ID number, allowing the public to verify their credentials through the BelPro Agent Registry.
Before you buy or sell property in Belize, ask:
“Are you a BelPro Agent?”
Only those with a verified ID have completed the training, passed the final exam, and agreed to uphold the REIB Code of Ethics.
BelPro = Belize Professional.
A name you can trust.
