The annual REBAA AGM Just happened...

For anyone considering using a Buyer's Agent in Australia - hopefully at some point in your online search you will come across REBAA - they are the REAL ESTATE BUYER'S AGENTS ASSOCIATION. A peak body representing BA's nationally and aiming to educate buyers on how to purchase more safely, how to avoid spruikers and navigate the buying process generally.

Anyway, this weekend the AGM happened. Personally I really enjoyed it, great few days of catching up with some of the nation's high quality BA's including well known forumites such as @Jacque @Propertunity @Lisa Parker @mrmonopoly and some great training as well. We went out for dinner: I sat next to Alan Fox and felt like an old old man coz I had to ask him "what did you say" about 30 times it was so raucus! Lots of fun. The schnitzel was the largest I have eaten since my 20's and had about half a block of cheese on it. Just about right I'd say.


The REBAA comments about outgoing and incoming executive members below for those that may be interested...

Was that you @BuyersAgent? I just assumed the cold breeze near my ear on your side was the grim reaper . I might have had too much cider - just as well we were all walking back to the accommodations.

 

Congratulations Matt aka @BuyersAgent on becoming the regional rep for REBAA. I'm sure you'll do a sterling job

Always a pleasure hobnobbing with likeminded colleagues and discussing the market and how we can continuously improve the buyer experience. I've been a REBAA member for over 10 years now and proud to be a part of a professional body that has so many actively committed and great BAs.

Only criticism I have is that I didn't order the schnitzel

 

Best part of the AGM is hanging out with genuine professionals who have enormous commitment to this industry.

The knowledge in the room - wow!!!
