PRESIDENT’S REPORT Jacob Caine, REIV President
I AM HONOURED AND EXCITED TO SERVE AS THE NEWLY ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE REAL ESTATE INSTITUTE OF VICTORIA FOR THE 2023/2024 TERM.
The recent Director elections held in September brought fresh talent to our board. Adrian Butera and Mark Errichiello were newly elected, joining myself and Sam Hatzistamatis, who were returned for further threeyear terms. The diverse mix of experience and fresh perspectives promises a bright future for the REIV. Our Camberwell headquarters sales campaign, under the stewardship of CBRE, is making significant progress. A sale of the Camberwell Road premises will mark a pivotal moment in the Institute’s journey as we explore options for a new “home” that aligns with the evolving needs and aspirations of the organisation. One of the most exciting developments in recent months has been the launch of the REIV’s Leadership Academy. On September 26, we welcomed 10 outstanding real estate professionals from across Melbourne into our inaugural cohort. This initiative reflects our commitment to nurturing and developing future leaders who will shape the industry and the Institute’s future. Both Richard Simpson and Quentin Kilian should be recognised for their work in championing this fantastic initiative. One of the crown jewels in the REIV’s annual calendar is the Awards for Excellence. This dazzling event was held on October 19 at Crown Palladium. It was a night to remember, where we celebrated the exceptional talents and achievements within our industry. Congratulations to all the finalists and winners for their dedication and excellence. Looking forward, our Annual General Meeting (AGM) is scheduled for November 28, where we will discuss the Institute’s progress and future goals. The CEO and I are
