THE Real Estate Buyers Agents Association of Australia (REBAA) has elected Brisbane buyer’s agent Melinda Jennison as its new president.
Jennison, formerly the association’s Queensland state representative, was elected at the REBAA annual general meeting and will take the place Cate Bakos, who decided to step down after four years at the helm.
Jennison said she looked forward to assisting new entrants in the industry and expanding the training and professional development opportunities available for buyer’s agents.
“I’m thrilled to receive the support from members to carry on the legacy that all past presidents and committee members have created, and to lead REBAA through what will be an exciting 12 months,” Jennison said.
“I look forward to nurturing new entrants to the industry to ensure they have access to training and skill development opportunities to ensure minimum standards for buyer’s agents across our country are maintained.”
Jennison has a research background and completed a PhD in 2001, and moved into real estate with involvement in the building and construction industry as well as property development, before embarking on her career as a buyer’s agent and advocate.
