REIQ update from the CEO: 23rd February 2022

Many of you in the real estate community will be aware real estate agents don't always rate well when people are asked to rank their favourite to least-favoured professions. However, the REIQ's largest-ever survey of public perceptions of the Queensland real estate industry has turned that conventional national trend on its head. The research reveals Queenslanders view real estate agents favourably, with 74 percent of the public describing agents in a positive light. In fact, Queenslanders rated friendliness, helpfulness, and accessibility as top agent attributes. To find out more about what our research discovered, click here.
