Leanne Pilkington gives a run-down on the current state of Australian real estate.

In this episode, the president of the Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) and the CEO of Laing+Simmons sits down with REB's Grace Ormsby to provide a health check on the current state of property and real estate across the country.

Acknowledging the many factors that are playing into Australia's relationship with the asset class and the spotlight being shone on the sector, Leanne gives her two cents on the policies set to service housing markets for the better, and explains why others won't have the desired effect.

With elections across the country looming, Leanne also emphasises the importance of collaboration and innovation, sharing how property professionals are well placed to forge a better future for not only real estate, but the society as a whole.

Rebecca shares some of the strategies that had to be implemented to help the company reach this important milestone – including its method for pay transparency – and discusses the reason why such a discrepancy between what men and women are paid still exists within the sector.
