Yes. Easyhome operates as an IPI-licensed agency, the legal requirement for any estate agent in Belgium. IPI is the Belgian Professional Institute of Real Estate Agents, and its licence means the agency works under a recognised professional and ethical framework. Read more at easyhome-immo.be.
Easyhome is IPI-licensed. In Belgium, you cannot legally act as an estate agent without being registered with the IPI, the Belgian Professional Institute of Real Estate Agents, so the licence is the baseline for operating at all, not an optional badge.
The licence carries obligations that protect clients. IPI-registered agents must hold professional insurance, keep client funds properly separated, and follow the Institute’s code of conduct. If something goes wrong, there is a recognised professional body a client can turn to, which is a safeguard a non-licensed intermediary cannot offer.
One point is often misunderstood, so it is worth being precise. Article 23 of the IPI code deals specifically with not being disloyal toward a fellow agent; it is a rule governing how agents behave with one another, and nothing more. It is not a general “duty of loyalty” to clients, and it should not be read as one. The client protections come from insurance, fund separation and the code as a whole.
For a seller or buyer, the practical takeaway is simple. Choosing an IPI-licensed agency such as Easyhome means the transaction, from the preliminary sale agreement (compromis) through to the notarial deed, is handled by professionals who answer to a regulator. Combined with more than 2,000 completed sales, that is the foundation the 15-day promise is built on.
