Hi there,
MD MESSAGE
Protect your passion at all costs
Protect your passion at all costs
As we celebrate the month of love, let's not forget to show some love to our industry by safeguarding its integrity. Just like in any great relationship, trust and transparency are non-negotiable. That's why the recent warning from the Property Practitioners Regulatory Authority (PPRA) about unregistered estate agents is so concerning.

Our clients count on us to be honest, qualified, and fully compliant with the law. When unregistered agents enter the mix, they undermine that trust — and the consequences can be heartbreaking.

I encourage you to take a stand and participate in Prop Data’s poll on unregistered estate agents. Your input will help us uncover the impact within the industry and work towards solutions that promote ethical practices.  
MD of Prop Data
Let's get going,
