Name Suppression is a new service initiated by Landgate which allows eligible people to apply to the Registrar of Titles to have their details suppressed from the land titles search index.

The Land Titles Register is an open, publicly searchable register containing information about property owned by individuals. This information is often an indication of where people live and discovery may place some property owners at risk.
The Name Suppression service aims to balance the need to protect vulnerable people with the need for a fully open public register.

Name Suppression means that from time-to-time you may come across a suppressed record on Land Enquiry when conducting a search using a person’s name as the searching criteria, and on Landgate’s data and sales extracts.

The number of people eligible for Name Suppression is estimated to be less than one per cent of the current Land Titles Register.

Landgate’s Customer Information Bulletin and Frequently Asked Questions may assist should you require further information and Name Suppression application packs are downloadable from Landgate’s website.

For enquiries about lodging an application, please contact Landgate’s Name Suppression Officer on (08) 9273 5900.

Thought leadership is fast becoming the 21st century's business imperative for both companies and individuals, and real estate is no exception.

So, what is Real Estate Thought Leadership? Real Estate Thought Leadership is about discovering your unique talents and strengths and working in them more often. In essence it is about "better thinking" resulting in "better business" and creating a "better world".

By becoming a Real Estate Thought Leader, you put the success odds back in your favour. And it has been said that Real Estate Thought Leadership can enhance your lifestyle and more importantly for business, your profits.

Sound intriguing? REIWA Learning is running a special one day workshop, 31st July 2009, on the concept of Real Estate Thought Leadership presented by successful Real Estate entrepreneur Shane Kempton.
