Introduction
From 1 July 2026, real estate and business sales agencies across Australia will be required to comply with new AML/CTF obligations under AUSTRAC Tranche 2.
For many agencies, the challenge is not awareness. It is implementation.
How do you become compliant without slowing the business down, creating extra admin, or forcing your team into disconnected systems?
That is exactly why AML Assured has partnered with Aro, a leading real estate CRM, to deliver a more practical path to compliance for agencies.Why Aro Matters
Your CRM sits at the centre of your agency.
It manages listings, contacts, communication, pipeline activity and day-to-day workflow. If compliance lives outside that environment, it often becomes another task, another login and another system your team resists using.
Aro has been supporting real estate agencies for years with proven CRM technology built for the property industry. You can read how Aro introduced the integration on their blog.By partnering with Aro, AML Assured helps agencies bring compliance closer to the workflow they already know.
Built To Work With Your Real Estate CRM
AML Assured is designed to work alongside modern real estate CRM platforms, with Aro as our featured integration partner.
For Aro agencies, this creates a connected workflow where key compliance actions can sit alongside day-to-day operational activity.
For agencies using other systems, AML Assured still provides a clear and practical path to compliance.
Why AML Assured Is Different
Many AML tools entering the market were originally built for banks, law firms or accountants.
Real estate agencies operate differently.
AML Assured was built specifically for the property industry, with workflows, risk models and training aligned to how agencies actually work.
That means a more practical experience for principals, agents, administrators and support staff.
What Agencies Need Before July 2026
- Identity verification (KYC/KYB)
- AML/CTF programmes and risk assessments
- Staff training and completion tracking
- Ongoing monitoring and reporting
- AUSTRAC obligations and audit readiness
- Client communication resources
- Compliance records stored in one place
Why Acting Early Matters
The agencies that prepare early will have time to implement properly, train their team and refine internal processes before deadlines create pressure.
Those who wait risk rushed decisions and unnecessary disruption during already busy trading periods.
A Smarter Way To Prepare
Whether your agency uses Aro or another real estate CRM, the priority is the same: choose a compliance solution that fits how your business actually operates.
For agencies wanting a connected workflow, the Aro and AML Assured partnership creates a strong path forward.
