Rich Harvey elected RBEAA's new president

Buyer's agent representation group the Real Estate Buyers Agents Association of Australia has elected Rich Harvey as president.

Rich Harvey is also managing director of Propertybuyer and volunteer chairman of the Buyer's Agents Chapter of the REINSW.

Mr Harvey said better licensing requirements and training for buyer’s agents would be a key focus for the association moving forward. 

“Our main focus is to educate and promote good buying practices to consumers and bring together like-minded professionals who share the same commitment to ethics and industry best practice," Mr Harvey said.

“There is a risk of lack of due diligence, as well as a risk of overpaying, without the correct knowledge and experience."

Former REBAA president Jacque Parker served for three years. Veronica Morgan from Good Deeds Property Buyers has been appointed vice president.
