The Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) has welcomed the re-election Adrian Kelly from Tasmania, as President for a second term. 

Mr Kelly was re-elected as the President of REIA, the national professional association for Australia’s real estate sector at its Annual General Meeting held in Canberra yesterday (12 December).

Hayden Groves from Western Australia was re-elected Deputy President for another 12 months.

Adrian was born and raised in Hobart and has worked in the Tasmanian real estate industry since 1990.

He is the founder and CEO of View Real Estate, an independent agency comprising seven sales and property management offices across Tasmania. 

“The past year has been an important year for the REIA with the Federal Election in May and the public debate on taxation of housing and its impact on affordability," said Mr Kelly.

“There is no doubt that REIA’s campaign, supported by REIs and franchise networks, played a role in the election outcome with marginal electorates with higher than average numbers of investment property owners showing a larger swing towards the Government than the national average.

The Election also saw a turning point in the market with confidence returning. 

“Particularly pleasing was the appointment of a Minister for Housing, a position that the REIA has long advocated for. 

“REIA will continue to be a strong advocate for the retention of the current arrangements for the taxation of housing."
