Acobir is a non-profit organization that was founded in 1973, and since then it has developed a guild representation work in the real estate sector. Its objective is to bring together professionals in the real estate industry, who offer services under the parameters of its bylaws and code of ethics, in order to strengthen professionalism through good practices.
Acobir was the driving force behind the 1999 Decree Law No. 6 of July 1999, which regulates the profession of real estate broker in the Ministry of Commerce and Industries and its regulation by Executive Decree of November 7, 2001 and Resolution No. 002-2001, which adopts the code of ethics.
