Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a land agent and a sales representative in South Australia?
A registered land agent can operate independently and employ sales representatives. A sales representative must work under the supervision of a registered land agent and holds a more limited registration.
Does South Australia require ongoing professional development?
Consumer and Business Services requires registered agents to maintain current knowledge. While formal CPD is not mandated in the same structured format as other states, agents must comply with the code of conduct and demonstrate competency.
Can I operate as a property manager with a land agent registration?
Yes. A land agent registration in South Australia covers property management activities. There is no separate property management licence class under the Land Agents Act 1994.
