“Are you personally licensed to represent me?”
Most consumers assume that every buyer’s agent operating in Victoria holds the appropriate licence, qualifications and regulatory oversight required to represent buyers.
Unfortunately, that’s not always the case.
There are increasing reports of interstate buyer’s agents and property advisors securing properties in Victoria despite not holding a Victorian estate agent licence or registration. Many consumers simply don’t realise there can be significant differences in licensing requirements between states.
That’s why every buyer should perform one simple check before signing any agreement.
The Victorian Government’s Public Register allows you to verify whether both the company and the individual person you’re dealing with are appropriately licensed or registered to operate in Victoria.

Don’t Just Check the Company!
This is where many consumers get caught out.
A company may appear legitimate, but the individual advising you, inspecting properties, negotiating on your behalf or providing property recommendations may not personally hold the appropriate Victorian licence or registration.
Before engaging anyone, ask:
✅ What is your Victorian Estate Agent Licence Number?
✅ Are you personally licensed or registered in Victoria?
✅ Can I verify your details on the Victorian Public Register?
✅ How long have you held your licence or registration?
Why It Matters
Buying property is one of the largest financial decisions you’ll ever make.
The person guiding that decision should be appropriately qualified, accountable and operating within Victoria’s regulatory framework.
A quick search can help:
✅ Confirm the individual is legally authorised to operate in Victoria
✅ Verify the business and the person you’re dealing with
✅ Improve transparency and accountability
✅ Reduce the risk of engaging unlicensed operators
The Bottom Line
Trust is important.
Verification is better.
Before you engage any buyer’s agent, property advisor, property strategist or property acquisition specialist, spend 30 seconds checking both the company and the individual on the Victorian Public Register.
When hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars are on the line, that’s not being cautious.
That’s being smart.
