Set up a real estate agency in Luxembourg: a negotiator’s case
To set up a real estate agency in Luxembourg, you need a real estate agent permit, obtained through the House of Training exam or with 3 years in a managing role. This typical scenario follows a negotiator opening her own SARL: liability insurance, commercial premises, the permit application, then RCS, RBE, VAT and CCSS.
