I'm a caretaker owning a lot in a QLD body corporate complex. As a qualified real estate agent, can I conduct a real estate sales business from the onsite manager's lot?

As a caretaker who owned a lot in the complex, I signed a caretaker agreement and letting agreement with the body corporate that allow me to carry out a caretaker and letting business from the manager’s lot.

I also hold a full real estate agent license that qualifies me for real estate sales. Can I conduct a real estate sales business from the onsite manager’s lot?

It will depend on what the actual by-law for the building says.

By-laws are the things that regulate the use of a lot. There is no black and white on this, but it will depend on what the actual by-law for the building says about what the management lot can be used for. So, unfortunately ‘it depends’.
