New Delhi [India], September 23: In a landmark moment for India’s real estate market, the National Association of Realtors–India (NAR India) and Magicbricks Realty Services Limited today announced a renewed partnership, bringing to a close several months of public disagreement.
Joint Statement
The two organisations released a joint statement declaring that all past differences have been resolved and outlining a shared commitment to ethical practices, accountability, and the long-term growth of the real estate sector.
As part of the resolution, Magicbricks addressed key concerns raised by NAR India and its member associations, taking constructive and corrective measures that included the removal of objectionable content and a reaffirmation of its respect for the dignity, professionalism, and vital role of the Realtor community.
The joint statement confirmed that “all prior actions by either side now stand withdrawn”, describing the agreement as “a new chapter in our collective efforts to elevate industry standards, empower real estate professionals, and strengthen trust across the value chain.”
In a reciprocal move, NAR India has officially withdrawn its earlier disengagement and delisting directive, signalling a complete reset of the relationship.
Future Collaboration
Both organisations emphasised the complementary strengths that will define their renewed partnership:
-
Magicbricks continues to drive digitisation, market expansion, and developer–broker collaboration, bringing advanced technology and scale to the real estate marketplace.
-
NAR India remains a cornerstone in building a professional and ethical broker ecosystem, leveraging knowledge sharing, advocacy, and institution-building to uplift the Realtor community nationwide.
