The Agency has embarked on a partnership with one of Australia’s largest specialised family law firms, as it looks to provide its agents and clients with access to family law services and training.
The Agency is now working alongside Australian Family Lawyers, in what’s been touted as a real estate industry first as well as “a natural fit” for both companies, considering their respective national reaches and their ability to facilitate two-way client referrals where appropriate.
The partnership will provide The Agency staff, their families, and clients with education and tools needed to navigate emotionally challenging circumstances with empathy and guidance, the network reported.
Australian Family Lawyers will also provide training to staff members of the real estate network, including seminars and education on “all aspects of family and relationship legal advice” under the arrangement.
Andrew Jensen, The Agency chief operating officer, said the partnership will assist clients in finding a more stable future for their families and provide seamless service in their property needs.
He acknowledged that many real estate agents do become privy to “some of the most sensitive and often turbulent circumstances when assisting with the sale of the family home”.
“A stressful experience at the best of times deteriorates by the unfortunate breakdown of a relationship leading to a settlement of assets,” the COO said.
According to Australian Family Lawyers executive chairman Grant Dearlove, the partnership is a natural alignment of two services that support clients “through what can be a challenging period of their life”.
“Property and real estate is a key consideration for people going through a separation and relationship pressures,” he highlighted.
“Over half the people who contact Australian Family Lawyers are also actively looking for real estate services online, highlighting the importance of this partnership in assisting people in their property needs.”
