From 1 July 2026, all Australian real estate agents will be required to comply with expanded AML legislation. Navigating these new requirements can be complex and time-consuming, which is why I’m excited to announce REIP’s new partnership with AMLHUB.
Together, we’re helping agencies meet their AML obligations with practical tools, expert guidance, and streamlined compliance solutions – making it simpler and more effective for every real estate business.
I’ll be sharing more about this partnership in the coming weeks, but in the meantime, you can find out how AMLHUB supports the real estate industry here.
In a recent episode of our podcast Behind the Numbers, I’m joined by Cate Bakos, Cameron Kusher and mortgage broker Alya Manji from Aussie Home Loans.
We unpack the impact of the new First Home Buyer Scheme, the surge in investor activity, and the market movements across every capital city – from Darwin’s double-digit growth to Melbourne’s quiet comeback.
Will the mix of incentives, sentiment, and stability push prices higher as we head into summer? Tune in for the data, the debate, and the insights you need to stay ahead of the market.
You can listen to the podcast here.
Finally, a reminder to all my male colleagues about the Men in Real Estate Project.
Men’s voices, struggles, and unique experiences often go unheard, which is why this wellness initiative has been designed to understand and support the specific challenges faced by men in residential real estate.
I encourage you to take 10 minutes to complete the anonymous survey. Your insights will contribute to an industry-first white paper set to launch later this year.
Start the survey here.
Until next time,
Stay connected.
