READ NOWMr Groves said the past three years had been extremely rewarding and thanked the council and REIWA members for entrusting him with the role.
“My tenure as president has marked a very challenging time for the WA property market,” he said.
“We’ve seen state migration slow, less demand from buyers and tenants, increased stock levels and subdued transactional activity.
