Principals with multiple offices face an amplified compliance challenge: every obligation multiplies across locations, and oversight that's manageable for one office becomes difficult to maintain at scale without the right systems. REA Hub is built to scale with you.
Multi-office dashboard
One login, full visibility. See compliance status — CPD, licences, trust accounting, AML — across every office in your group at once.
Consolidated compliance reporting
Export a compliance report covering your entire group for board reporting, franchise standards, or regulator presentation.
Office-level control
Each office's licensee-in-charge manages their own records. You retain oversight without being the bottleneck for every entry.
Group-wide policy management
Issue policies from the group level — every office receives the same version, and individual acknowledgements are tracked across all staff.
Trust accounting oversight
Monitor trust account reconciliation status and audit completion for every office in your group. Flag overdue records before they become regulatory issues.
Franchise & network support
Set compliance standards at the group level. Franchisees manage their own offices while you maintain group-wide visibility and reporting.
Real estate principal compliance — frequently asked questions
What compliance obligations do real estate principals have in Australia?
Real estate principals are responsible for the overall compliance of their agency — this includes ensuring all staff hold current licences, that CPD obligations are met, that trust accounts are maintained and audited correctly, that AML/CTF obligations are fulfilled under AUSTRAC, that policies and procedures are documented and followed, and that all required registers are kept. Where a principal operates multiple offices, these obligations apply across every location.
How does REA Hub support a principal with multiple offices?
REA Hub supports multi-office structures — each office operates independently within the platform but the principal has a consolidated view across all locations. You can see compliance status, outstanding tasks, and audit-ready records for every office from a single login, rather than logging into each system separately or aggregating spreadsheets.
Can REA Hub support a principal who is also a licensee-in-charge?
Yes. Many principals also hold the licensee-in-charge role in one or more of their offices. REA Hub accommodates this — you can act in both capacities within the platform, with visibility across the whole group and direct management of the offices where you hold the LIC role.
How does REA Hub help principals prepare for a regulatory audit?
When a regulator audits a real estate agency — whether it's a scheduled audit or an unannounced inspection — the principal needs to produce records across every compliance area quickly. REA Hub organises all records in a single platform: CPD, licences, trust accounting, AML, policies, and statutory registers. Records are exportable, structured, and timestamped.
Does REA Hub work for franchise real estate groups?
Yes. REA Hub can be structured to support franchise groups where the franchisor sets compliance standards and individual franchisees (principals) manage their own offices against those standards. Central reporting gives the group visibility over compliance across all franchises, while each franchisee retains control over their own office's records.
