A group of Ghanaian professionals members with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) is organising a landmark seminar focused on ethical real estate practice and professional transparency.

The seminar, scheduled for Thursday, July 3, 2025, at Dynaspace, The Signature Apartment, East Legon, is themed “Professional Ethics and Transparency in Real Estate.”

The event will bring together RICS members, real estate developers, valuation experts, quantity surveyors, other built environment professionals, and students from top academic institutions for a half-day of thought leadership and networking.

Key speakers include Bonface Waweru, RICS Sub-Saharan Africa Market Development Lead, and Surveyor Rosemagaret Esubonteng, past President of Ghana Institution of Surveyors, who will chair the event.

The seminar will also feature a goodwill message from the GhIS President and several presentations aimed at shaping professional values and mentorship for future practitioners.

Beyond the day’s presentations, the event will provide valuable guidance for professionals and students aspiring to join RICS, the global gold standard for built environment professionals.

Participants will learn about the benefits of membership and how to begin the journey toward internationally recognized qualifications in real estate and surveying.

Lead sponsors include Orient Property Consulting, Broll Ghana, Property Datahub, and Stratigiko—firms committed to raising ethical standards and encouraging youth leadership in the sector.

Organisers say the event is also part of an effort to revitalise the engagement of RICS members in Ghana and increase visibility of the profession locally.
