Following Hayden Groves’ announcement last week that he would be finishing his term as president, the REIWA council has elected a new president.
Damian Collins is the institute’s new president.
Mr Collins has served on the REIWA council since 2011 and as deputy president since 2015.
He brings a wealth of real estate knowledge, having worked for 25 years in the industry.
Mr Collins is the founder and managing director of Momentum Wealth, a Perth-based property investment consultancy, and chair of commercial property funds management business Mair Property Funds.
He holds a bachelor of business from RMIT University in Melbourne and a graduate diploma in property from Curtin University in Perth.
Mr Collins is also a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia and the Financial Services Institute of Australasia.
He was gracious in accepting the position.
“It is an honour to be elected president and I thank the council for bestowing me the privilege of representing the institute on behalf of its members,” Mr Collins said.
“I would also like to thank Hayden Groves for his hard work and dedication to the institute during his tenure as president.”
Mr Collins reaffirmed his commitment to the institute.
“The council and I are dedicated to continuing to build upon REIWA’s 100-year legacy of advocating on behalf of our members and the WA public.
“The WA marketplace remains a challenging environment for agents and vendors alike and there is much work to be done as our local market begins its recovery.”
Mr Collins will be assisted in his role by Lisa Joyce from Joyce Property Investments, who was elected deputy president.
The REIWA council also re-elected Joe White from JMW Real Estate to chair the finance and risk management committee.
