DNV certificeert (alweer) ruim 40 VBO-makelaars
Rotterdam, 4 september 2006 – DNV Certification BV reikt op 11 september certificaten uit aan meer dan 40 VBO-makelaars. Na afschaffing van de beëdiging van makelaars en taxateurs in 2001 groeide de behoefte naar een objectieve kwaliteitswaarborg. Een certificaat waarmee de makelaar kan aantonen dat hij voldoet aan bepaalde - concrete - kwaliteitseisen. Hiertoe richtte de VBO (Vereniging Bemiddeling Onroerend Goed), de snelst groeiende en meest actieve brancheorganisatie voor makelaars in onroerend goed, de Stichting Certificering VBO Makelaar (SCVM) op. In 2001 ging VBO met DNV (Det Norske Veritas) in zee en werd een sluitend certificatieschema ontwikkeld. De eerste certificaten werden in maart 2002 uitgereikt.
