11.00am          Peter Matthews, REINSW President and CEO of Realtair

Peter will be discussing what PropTech means for the real estate industry and how it can benefit your business.

Digital technology is revolutionising real estate at an ever-faster pace. If the Australian property sector follows the same path as the US, we’ll see an even greater explosion of innovation in the next few years. As new tools help us work smarter and get closer to the needs of our customers, they also bring the risk of a widening skills gap and the fear of being left behind.

Shula will be taking the audience through the training opportunities that the REINSW offers.

11.45am          Tim McKibbin

1.00pm            Material Facts presented by Tim McKibbin                                                                     

This CPD course is 1 hour of compulsory CPD training.

When a real estate agent is told to disclose material facts to a potential buyer or tenant, many ask the question: “So what exactly is a material fact?”

It’s important that you understand your obligations under Schedule 1 of the Property and Stock Agents Regulation 2014 (the General Rules of Conduct) - even though it may seem what constitutes a material fact is not at all straightforward.

This course provides key information on how to discover and disclose a material fact.

Topics include:

• identify prescribed material facts
• describe an agent’s obligation under the law to disclose material facts
• identify issues or matters important to a reasonable person
• identify steps to determine if a prescribed material fact applies to a particular property

2.00pm            COVID-19 Safe Business presented by Peter Matthews

This CPD course is 1 hour of compulsory CPD training.

We now live in a COVID world. COVID-19 has changed the way we live and work. Terms like physical distancing, handwashing and isolation have all become part of the ‘new normal’ in both our personal and professional lives.

This four-part course provides key information on how to work safely in the Real Estate industry in a COVID world.

Topics include:

• COVID-19 Basics
• Creating a COVID Safe Business
• COVID Safe Practices for Auctions and Open Homes
• What if – Scenarios for Real Estate

3.00pm            Supervision Guidelines Manual presented by Tim McKibbin.

The benefit of running your agency to be compliant with the Supervision Guidelines is a stronger and better organised business, more resistant to typical risks in agency practice. The loss of trust and reputation can often cost you and your agency far more than any penalties from non-compliance. Are you willing to take the risk, and the potential huge penalties?

Tim will discuss NSW Fair Trading’s Supervision Guidelines and how REINSW’s Supervision Guidelines Manual can aid agents in ensuring their compliance with these Guidelines.

As the most effective ‘How-to’ guide on the market, Tim will take you through the benefits of using the Supervision Guidelines Manual, helping you implement NSW Fair Trading’s latest Guidelines with ease and efficiency.

At the end of the presentations the audience will be invited to take part in the Compulsory CPD online assessment and Networking Drinks will follow.

This is 2 separate sessions 9am to 12pm and 1pm to 4pm.
