The Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) has today announced the resignation of Anna Neelagama after four years at the helm. 

REIA President Ms Leanne Pilkington said that the REIA had gone from strength to strength despite a rapidly changing economic and housing market.

“Anna’s accomplishments include navigating the industry through the second half of COVID-19, seven Federal Budgets, the redevelopment of Real Estate House, and in 2021 getting the then-Opposition to commit to not changing the negative gearing and CGT tax settings.

“She has ensured that politicians of all colours and government agencies are clear on the drivers of the current housing market and elevated the professionalism and image of REIA across the board.

“Whilst we are sad to say farewell to Anna, we are delighted she will remain in the housing space contributing to the critical national issue of housing supply and affordability. We wish her and her family well.”

A nationwide search will commence in August 2024 for REIA’s next CEO with transition arrangements to be announced in the coming weeks.
