NAR India and Magicbricks Reunite, Resolve Differences for Industry Growth

New Delhi [India], September 23: In a significant development for India’s real estate industry, the National Association of Realtors–India (NAR India) and Magicbricks Realty Services Limited have announced the renewal of their partnership, bringing an end to months of public discord.

Joint Statement
Both organisations issued a joint statement confirming that all previous disputes have been amicably resolved. The statement also highlighted their shared commitment to ethical standards, accountability, and the sustainable growth of the real estate sector.

As part of the resolution, Magicbricks addressed key issues raised by NAR India and its member associations. The steps included removing objectionable content and reaffirming its respect for the dignity, professionalism, and pivotal 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The joint statement confirmed that “all prior actions by either side now stand withdrawn”, describing the agreement as “a new chapter in our collective efforts to elevate industry standards, empower real estate professionals, and strengthen trust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In a reciprocal move, NAR India has officially withdrawn its earlier disengagement and delisting directive, signalling a complete reset of the relationship.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.
