Happy double long weekend! It truly is Winter here; if youāve stayed put for the public holiday, this morning gave us a good preview of the chilly mornings ahead. Iām thankful the sun came out in time for me to thaw the olā fingers and hit record for youā¦
Are you getting our newsletters? Every Sunday, Iāll dish you up a juicy insight or hot property topic, direct to your inbox. Even the boring stuff gets a good sprinkle of the āClaireā flavouring so rest assured, itās far from being Yet Another Thing in your inbox.
Jump over to our website, click the banner and share your deets, because lately weāve covered the āmissing middleā rezoning of our āburbs, how AI can help (and hinder) your property search, and tomorrow, itās all about the new Anti Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism Financing legislation. Aka, āAMLā for short.
Now, I love a good acronym as much as the next Canberran, but some of these terms (such as PEP, or Politically Exposed Person) need further explaining. Especially for those working in the public sector, either here or on a posting overseas.
This AML legislation comes into force in just over three weeksā time, so while thereās been much chatter amongst real estate agents and agency owners, Iāve not seen much in the way of buyer education. And as you know, weāre all about that.
So join me tomorrow, settle in with your Sunday morning cuppa, and Iāll step you through the what-why-when-where and how of these changes, to help you understand whatās relevant to you.
Have a lovely long weekend, and stay warm out there!
