DiJones turns AML compliance into tech edge as reforms come into effect

The network said the ecosystem combined AML verification, proof of identity (POI), digital agency agreements, buyer and seller AML transaction management, and secure client onboarding into one streamlined workflow.

It said the tool enabled agents to seamlessly deploy client verification, moving from a listing presentation to a compliant, signed agency agreement in 10 to 15 minutes.

According to DiJones CEO Dean Mackie, the business, which spent 18 months developing and testing the platform, saw the reforms as an opportunity to rethink the way real estate transactions should operate.

Rather than treating the changes as another compliance obligation, he said the network treated the matter as an opportunity to improve its processes and the experience it delivered to clients.

“We invested early to build technology that doesn’t just meet the new legislative requirements, but genuinely improves how our people operate every day,” Mackie said.

“Our agents shouldn’t have to become compliance experts; they should be focused on delivering exceptional advice and service. We’ve built the infrastructure that allows them to do exactly that.”

While compliance is generally the responsibility of individual offices or contractors, DiJones said its model is centralised governance under a corporate-led framework.

According to DiJones, the platform will reduce administrative complexity, support network consistency, and help shield agents from the day-to-day burden of managing complex regulatory obligations.

In addition, the system will strengthen customer privacy, as POI information will be automatically removed from devices and email systems, reducing unnecessary data retention.

DiJones also said the platform will include digital identity verification, allowing clients to share AML-verified credentials for all aspects of their lives.

“While it simplifies future property transactions, it also lays the foundation for a broader DiJones ecosystem, where trusted identity can support a growing range of adjacent property and lifestyle services,” the network said.

DiJones chief operating officer, Brent May, said the company was committed to providing agents the tools they need to operate efficiently while maintaining professional standards.

He said technology should remove friction, rather than creating it, with the network committed to making life easier for agents while delivering a faster, cyber-secure experience for clients.

“Whether an agent is in the office, at a listing presentation or meeting a client interstate, they can now complete a fully compliant transaction from virtually anywhere,” May said.

“That’s the kind of operational advantage modern businesses need.”

The system has been extensively tested across the network ahead of 1 July, ensuring every office was prepared to transact with confidence.

Mackie said the investment reflected DiJones’ broader vision for real estate, as the company intended to lead through industry change rather than simply responding to it.

“Consumers increasingly expect secure, transparent and effortless experiences. Agents deserve technology that gives them confidence, protects their business and allows them to spend more time with clients,” he said.

“This investment reflects just the start of where we believe the future of real estate is heading, and we’re proud to be helping shape that future via the DiJones Marketplace.”
