Real Estate Stakeholders Chart Vision for Stronger, More Unified Sector in 2026

December 6 2025

Real estate and business professionals convened on Friday at the Pegasus Hotel and Suites’ Atlantic Conference Room to reflect on the achievements of 2025 and outline a more coordinated approach for the year ahead.

While participants described 2025 as a moderately successful year for the sector, many agreed that the industry continues to face a major structural gap: the lack of unified standards, regulations, promotional strategies, and continuous training.

This, they said, resulted in inconsistencies and challenges that affected agents and agencies across the country.

With significant growth projected for 2026, the meeting focused on creating a stronger shared vision for the industry.

Proposed initiatives included hosting an international real estate convention in Guyana, launching a national real estate awards program, expanding training and certification for agents, supporting education for property owners and developers, and adopting innovative digital marketing strategies.

By the close of the session, attendees agreed to reconvene as early as next week to begin formalizing a unified plan aimed at elevating the sector’s professionalism and long-term development.

The event featured a presentation from guest speaker Richard Sukhdeo of Telco, who shared insights on digital branding and the rising importance of online visibility in real estate marketing.

In a gesture widely praised by attendees, Sukhdeo offered free advertising on all five of Telco’s digital billboards for the remainder of 2025.

The gathering ended on a note of renewed optimism, with stakeholders pledging to collaborate more closely to enhance standards, improve public engagement, and position Guyana’s real estate industry for accelerated expansion in 2026.
