Compliance Readiness for Real Estate Agencies
The Reality of AML/CTF Compliance
AML and CTF compliance in real estate is set for significant changes, with Tranche 2 commencing in July 2026, introducing expanded obligations for agencies. This is not a task that can be treated as set-and-forget; active oversight is essential to maintain AML compliance. Without it, agencies risk regulatory action, hefty penalties, and damage to their reputation. For those looking to navigate these changes effectively, real estate training from experts like Reforge Consultancy Group can provide invaluable insights.
Being Ready for Tranche 2
Being ready for Tranche 2 isn’t just about having AML compliance policies in place by July 2026. It’s about establishing the right oversight and habits now, allowing your business to continue progressing, ensuring your team understands expectations, identifying risks early, and avoiding any surprises when enforcement begins.
As part of Tranche 2, agencies will be required to formally nominate their AML and CTF Compliance Officer with AUSTRAC by 31 March 2026. This makes it crucial to have the right support in place early, potentially through real estate training provided by Reforge or the Reforge Consultancy Group.
