This agent is verified. It means EstatePy checked who they are before their listings went live — not simply that they filled in a signup form. Below is exactly what that check involved.
How we check
Identity and business record
We confirm the person is who they say they are, using government photo identification, and we check the business they trade under: that it is registered, that the name on the listings matches the name on the paperwork, and that the address and phone number actually reach them.
Criminal record
We request a criminal record certificate from the Paraguayan authorities and read it. Having a record does not automatically rule someone out — a minor matter from a decade ago is not fraud — but anything involving fraud, theft, or dishonesty in a business context does.
Interview
We talk to the agent, in person or on video, and not only about their paperwork. We ask how they price, how they handle a deposit, what happens when a sale falls through, and what they do when a client's expectation is unrealistic. The answers tell us more than any certificate can.
Industry references
We ask around. The wider property community at ParaguayPulse.com is invited to say whether they know this person and whether they would deal with them again. It is the slowest part of the process and often the most useful: paperwork records what somebody was caught doing, and colleagues remember how they actually work.
What it does not mean
Being verified is not a guarantee about any particular property or any particular deal. We have not inspected the buildings, read the title deeds, or checked that a price is fair, and a verified agent is not our employee or our representative — they work for themselves. The badge says one thing: this is a real, identified, contactable person with a checked record, and we are willing to say so publicly. Always have the title deeds checked by your own notary.
How often we check again
The check is repeated every two years, and immediately if we receive a serious complaint. The badge can be withdrawn at any time, and it disappears from every page on the site the moment it is.
