Episode 87A - Adrian Bo Interviews the CEO of the REI, Mr Tim McKibbin

Ep. 87

Tim McKibbon is an outstanding industry professional with specialist skills & qualifications in both Accounting & Law. As you will hear, Mr McKibbon has an admirable commitment in changing the real estate landscape for the benefit of the customer and the real estate industry.

This episode will both comfort and surprise you.

Comfort, in the sense that the REI stands by the customer first always, and also by you as a real estate professional.

Surprise, given the constant battles the REI encounter with the OFT.

Did you know that the OFT oversee 40 industries including Real Estate, and we fall under the same purview as hairdressers and tattoo parlous?

Adrian & Tim discuss the myths about 'under quoting' and what challenges arise in an unpredictably buoyant market.

Tim talks about the progress made so far to appoint a specialist Property Services Commissioner (PSC). It is obvious after listening to this episode that this is the only pathway forward. Both Adrian & Tim remind us that this is not a revolutionary concept, given a similar concept, in the form of a commission, was established in the late 90's for the real estate industry but axed, as well as the recent appointment of David Chandler OAM, as the NSW Building Commissioner.

You can do something about it! The Bill to establish a dedicated and experienced Industry “Commissioner for Property Services” has passed the Upper House of Parliament, and it just needs to get through the lower house and then off for royal consent. So please send the Bill to your local Member of Parliament requesting they strongly support it & embrace it. Here it is - Property Services Council Bill 2021.

 This is a must listen episode. Lets all link arms and do whats best for our buyers and sellers and the industry in general.
