Under the PAMD Act is it a requirement that real estate agents carry PI insurance?

No. The PAMD Act provides for the ability to prescribe insurance under the regulations. However, no insurance is prescribed for real estate agents in Queensland. That being said, prudent business practice is to obtain professional indenity insurance to cover for business broker negligence.

Consultation

For new clients, I offer a paid initial phone consultation for $1,430 (incl. GST), which covers up to two hours of my time.

This option provides a relatively low-risk way for us to discuss your situation and explore how I may be able to help. I will provide initial advice and direction where possible. However, most matters require more than two hours to complete; if that’s the case, I’ll provide a follow-up proposal outlining how I'm able to help and an estimate of legal fees.

I set aside only a limited number of consultation times. If you can’t find a suitable time, or would like to clarify anything before booking, please get in touch — I’ll do my best to accommodate you.
