About Us

Who We Are

The Jersey Estate Agents’ Association has been established since 1965 and provides support, advice and training to its members. The Association ensures its members follow best practice to safeguard consumers and promote professional and ethical methods. In January 2018 the Association incorporated membership of Propertymark NAEA (National Association of Estate Agents) and TPO (the Property Ombudsman) in order to align the local industry with that of the UK’s strict codes of conduct.

We run regular seminars to update our members on legal and regulatory changes affecting our industry. We also work with the industry regulators and legislators to ensure that its members are fully conversant with the changing requirements of the Jersey Financial Services Commission (JFSC) with regard to anti money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) and other related legislation.

Where an agent collects rents and holds client monies, they are required to have client money protection insurance in place to safeguard consumers. In addition, Propertymark NAEA requires all members to have adequate Professional Indemnity insurance.

We promote professionalism in our industry and are passionate about the local property market.
