Real Estate Institute of Australia

The Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) is the national professional association for the real estate industry in Australia.

Since 1924, REIA has worked to represent real estate industry interests. REIA is a politically non-aligned organisation that provides researched and well-informed advice to the federal government, the opposition, media, and the public on a range of issues affecting the property market.

REIA has an excellent reputation as the most credible source of knowledge and considered opinion regarding the commercial and residential property markets in Australia.

REIA has eight members, comprised of the State and Territory Real Estate Institutes, through which about 75 per cent of real estate firms and licensed agents are collectively represented.

REIA has entered into strategic alliances with the National Real Estate Franchise Association of Australia (NREFA) and PropertyLook, strengthening its research and policy focus in residential and commercial real estate.

REIA also represents Australian real estate internationally as a founding member of the International Consortium of Real Estate Associations (ICREA), a principal member of the International Real Estate Federation (FIABCI) and as a co-operating association with the National Association of Realtors (NAR) in the USA.
