Introduction
If you hold a property licence in another state or territory, or New Zealand, you may be eligible to apply for the equivalent in NSW.
An individual property licence lets you work as an agent in:
- real estate, including:
- business broking
- sales or leasing
- onsite residential property management
- strata management
- stock and station.
If eligible, you can also add an auctioneer accreditation to your licence.
You can apply for a property licence under mutual recognition online —this is generally the fastest and cheapest way to apply.
Note: There are continuing professional development requirements for each licence class. Check the continuing professional development (CPD) requirements for your licence class.
Eligibility
To be eligible to apply for a mutually recognised property licence, you must:
- hold a current and equivalent licence in
- another Australian state/territory, or
- New Zealand
- have your principal place of business in NSW or within 50 kilometres of the NSW border.
