Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a property agent and a property representative in Tasmania?
A property agent holds a full licence and can operate a real estate business. A property representative works under the supervision of a licenced property agent. The qualification requirements differ for each category.
Does Tasmania recognise interstate real estate licences?
Tasmania participates in the mutual recognition scheme. If you hold an equivalent licence in another state or territory, you can apply for Tasmanian recognition. Additional state-specific units may be required.
What trust account requirements apply in Tasmania?
Property agents handling client funds must maintain a trust account. Annual trust account audits are required. CBOS monitors compliance and may take action for breaches of trust account obligations.
