What do we need to do to secure the future fitness of our industry? That was the question posed to the 75 industry leaders at REINSW’s second annual Industry Summit on 27 November 2014. Following the success of the inaugural event 12 months ago, the 2014 Summit again provided an open forum for industry figures to voice their opinions on the issues, challenges and trends impacting the industry and profession. The Summit is vital for our profession and plays a critical role in shaping how we will move forward. Delegates were strongly encouraged to put their issues on the table so we can move forward with conviction and achieve the outcomes the profession wants and needs. The Summit focused on six key areas for discussion and the recommendations put forward by delegates in each of these areas are summarised below.

What can the industry do as a collective to influence the major players and improve the services and costs for agents?
How should a national real estate body come together to best benefit the industry?
How can entry-level and ongoing industry education be better aligned to workplace requirements?
How should NSW Fair Trading address the key regulatory challenges facing the industry?
What are the unknowns that need to be clarified by the NSW Office of State Revenue?
Where do risk and responsibility start and finish?
At the close of the Summit, delegates were invited to stay involved. A special interest group will be formed for each of the six areas discussed at the Summit and delegates were invited to nominate themselves to participate in one or more of the groups and be an active part of shaping the future of the industry. The nominations are currently being compiled and the composition of the groups will be announced early in 2015. REINSW will publish quarterly update reports in 2015, setting out the progress that has been made and the actions that are taking place. Download a PDF copy of the delegate recommendations >>>
