Real Estate Agent as a profession comes with a number of duties, including the fiduciary duty to act in a client’s or principal’s best interest, requiring loyalty, confidentiality and transparency.

However, conflicts of interests can arise and sometimes present themselves in ordinary transactions where relationships, interests and benefits are left undisclosed until it is too late.

In the April 2026 issue of the Real Estate Voice magazine, BAL Lawyers provides some tips to help agents avoid a potential conflict of interest spiralling into an occupational disciplinary issue.

HAPPENING NEXT WEEK! REIACT Member Agency Principals, have you ever wondered what actually drives a rent roll valuation beyond just “management fees times a multiple”?

Join our webinar with The Rent Roll Finance Broker to understand what’s really going on under the hood, particularly from a bank lending perspective.

We’ll run through what influences the multiple, the difference between market-driven and portfolio-driven outcomes, and how banks assess your asset versus a due diligence view. More importantly, you will have a clear understanding of the levers you can pull to improve your result at sale, or identify opportunities when buying.

In an interview with Canberra Times following the release of the 2026-27 ACT Budget, REIACT CEO Maria Edwards said the Institute welcomes the removal of stamp duty for first home buyers noting that this will help stimulate the economy given ACT’s first-time buyer cohort. However, Maria expressed her disappointment in the lack of incentives for investors, pointing out that the continued pressure on them will result in the decreased availability of rental properties in the Territory.
