Real-estate sector
Real-estate AML/CTF coverage is tied to particular designated services. It should not be described as applying identically to every sale, lease or agency activity.

AUSTRAC publishes a dedicated description of real-estate designated services and separate professional-services guidance. Businesses should identify the customer and the specific activity being performed before designing an onboarding path.
A workflow may need separate paths for vendors, purchasers, representatives and non-individual customers. Identity, authority, entity and ownership information can be captured alongside transaction context.
Customer and transaction information may inform a risk assessment and whether additional review is required. Software can route a case for manual attention, but screening or form completion alone does not establish compliance.
A useful implementation may connect listing or buyer engagement, responsible-person approval, customer records and an exportable audit trail. The AUSTRAC real-estate starter kit is a primary operational source for eligible businesses choosing that approach.
