THE Real Estate Institute of Australia has elected Neville Sanders as the new president and Hayden Grove as deputy president.
Sanders is a third-generation estate agent and is a board member of the Real Estate Institute of Victoria.
Sanders is the general manager of Whittles Australia, is an REIA Fellow, an REIV-accredited owners’ corporation manager, vice chairperson of the REIV Owners Corporation Chapter committee and a qualified valuer.
Sanders thanked outgoing president Peter Bushby for his contribution over the last two years.
“Peter has provided excellent stewardship of the organisation since 2012 and during that time he has achieved much in ensuring that our members have a strong national voice,” Sanders said.
“I’m very pleased to also welcome Hayden Groves from Western Australia as REIA deputy president. Groves owns real estate business, Dethridge GROVES since 2004, after having worked as a successful sales representative for the firm for many years. Groves is REIWA deputy president and President of the Real Estate Employers’ Federation WA.
“Next year will be an equally important one for the sector with the release of the much anticipated government white paper into taxation. I see it as an absolute priority that agents have a national voice at the table on tax reform in advocating for the abolition of stamp duty funded by an increase in GST and the retention of negative gearing,” Sanders concluded.
