Join our family-run company

We’re always on the lookout for local experts to join our real estate family. Whether you’ve developed a career in real estate over many years or looking to start out, we want to hear from you!

Nurturing local talent is important to us, and our in-house training and development means we can give you advanced sales resources and the support necessary to unlock your full potential.

As a participant in the Path to Success program during my first two years in real estate, I can genuinely say that it was a valuable experience. This program helped me come out of my shell and taught me the fundamentals of real estate that were crucial to kick-starting my career as a real estate salesperson. Now, in my third year, I can attribute my confidence and growing success to the solid foundation laid by this fantastic program.

What qualifications do you need?

Before you apply for a real estate licence from the Real Estate Authority (REA), you will need a National Certificate in the particular role you are seeking:

  • Salesperson — National Certificate in Real Estate Level 4.
  • Branch Manager — National Certificate in Real Estate Level 5 (version 3 or later).

There are a number of educational organisations that offer real estate qualifications like Skills, Open Polytechnic, TAFE, or Unitec. Combining certificate fees and the cost of acquiring a licence under the REA, expect the process to cost between $2,000 – $2,500. Note, if you already have a recognised property degree and want to apply for a real estate licence, you will need to complete an assessment.
