BENEFITS OF DEALING WITH AN REINSW MEMBER
For many of us investment in property is the most important financial decision we will make, so it's important to deal with a real estate agent you know you can trust.

It may be worth your while to:

  • ask your agent to discuss the ethical standards they work by.
  • check that your agent has a sound knowledge of the local property market, including what properties they have sold over the past year and at what price.
  • ask your agent to explain their proposed marketing strategy and how they intend to keep you updated on their progress.
  • check that your agent has a good reputation with past clients and within the real estate industry.
Real estate agents undertake a diverse range of activities related to the selling and leasing of residential and commercial property. Many agents specialise in areas of practice such as residential sales, residential property management, commercial and industrial leasing and sales, representing buyers, rural sales, holiday and short-term rentals, and much more.

It is important to find an agent who has the skills and experience in the location and practice area you need. In New South Wales, agents must be licensed by the Office of Fair Trading under the Property, Stock and Business Agents Act 2002.

A well-chosen agent can be an invaluable asset for you, can offer a wealth of knowledge and expertise, and is well-placed to read any day-to-day changes in the marketplace.
