Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about becoming an Agents Representative.
What is an Agents Representative?
An Agents Representative is an entry-level position in real estate that allows you to work under the supervision of a licensed real estate agent. You can perform most real estate activities including sales, leasing, and property management, but must work under the guidance of a fully licensed agent.
Do I need the full CPP41419 to become an Agents Representative?
Requirements vary by state. Some states like NSW and Victoria only require specific entry-level units from CPP41419, while others like Tasmania and ACT require the full Certificate IV. Check your state-specific requirements for exact unit requirements.
How long does it take to become an Agents Representative?
If you only need entry-level units, you can typically complete the required training in 3-6 months. If your state requires the full CPP41419, expect 6-12 months of study depending on whether you study part-time or full-time.
Can I progress from Agents Representative to full agent?
Yes, the Agents Representative role is designed as a pathway to becoming a fully licensed real estate agent. You typically need to complete additional qualifications, gain experience, and meet your state's full licensing requirements to progress.
What can't I do as an Agents Representative?
As an Agents Representative, you cannot operate independently, hold a trust account in your name, or supervise other agents. You must work under the supervision of a licensed agent who takes responsibility for your activities.
Is there ongoing education required?
Yes, most states require Agents Representatives to complete Continuing Professional Development (CPD) annually. The exact requirements vary by state but typically involve completing several hours of approved training each year.
