The Real Estate Industry Award covers agencies and offices working in property sales, leasing and management. It applies to residential and commercial real estate agencies, property management offices, strata and community title managers, and auction and buyer's agent businesses. The roles it covers run from associates just starting out, through sales representatives and property managers, to supervisory and in-charge staff who run a team or an office. Many of these employees earn commission on top of the award, but the award still sets the minimum base rate that underpins their pay.
