The REIQ is launching its
new website in June with
exciting new features that will
help members get even more
from their membership.
REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella said
the new site will give members
greater control over their own profiles
and account management and will
also offer them an opportunity to
target new customers through the
Find An Agent feature.
“We know you’re busy, so we’re also
introducing online transactions which
will allow you to manage your account
anywhere, anytime,” she said.
“You’ll be able to renew your
membership, register for events,
undertake CPD and manage your
staff roster more easily.
“There will be one single website
with a member login option, and
the clean, modern design will make
finding information easier than ever,”
Ms Mercorella said.
In the lead-up to the new website’s
launch, the REIQ is contacting
members to make sure contact details
are current. Please keep an eye out
for this important email and respond.
“Find an Agent” features coming soon
