REIWA recognises new codes of conduct for WA property
The Real Estate Institute of Western Australia has assisted in the introduction of new codes of conduct for real estate agents, sales representatives, settlement agents and land valuers which support industry best practice and provide consumer protection.
REIWA president Hayden Groves thanked the Minister for Commerce, the Hon. Michael Mischin MLC, and the Department of Commerce for carrying out a detailed consultation process and working closely with the institute to develop the new codes.
“We congratulate Minister Mischin for working closely with REIWA and other industry stakeholders to ensure the codes benefit all those involved with buying, selling or leasing property,” Groves said.
“It’s important that there are measures in place to ensure the industry maintains high standards of practice and service.”
The Code of Conduct for Agents and Sales Representatives 2016 comes into effect this month with a two month transition period.
