Queensland real estate agents and property managers now have direct access to Forms Live, after Dynamic Methods launched the platform independently in the state on June 30.
The move follows the conclusion of Dynamic Methods’ contract with the REIQ, which had licensed the technology to the industry body for the past decade. Rather than agents losing access to a system many have built their workflows around, Dynamic Methods has made Forms Live available directly to individual agencies.
The independent Queensland offering pairs the existing platform with a new suite of forms developed by Dentons Lawyers, part of the world’s largest global law firm.
David Howell, founder of Forms Live and CEO of Dynamic Methods, said the transition was designed to protect continuity for agents who have relied on the system for years.
“Queensland agents have spent over a decade building their businesses around our technology, trusting our system to process millions of critical property transactions,” David said.
“By launching independently in Queensland, we can ensure agents and property managers do not have to lose access to the workflow system they are familiar with, while also being able to release exciting new updates and the latest in legally compliant forms from one of Australia’s most respected law firms.”
Dynamic Methods has been providing forms platforms to the real estate industry for close to 20 years, and currently licenses its technology to REINSW, REIWA, REINT and REIACT. It also operates Forms Live independently in South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania.
Alongside the Queensland launch, the platform has picked up several new features. Forms Live now holds full ISO 27001 certification, with all data stored within Australia to enterprise-grade security standards. The platform also connects with a range of AML and CRM partners, aimed at removing double-data entry from agency workflows.
A new mobile app has also launched alongside the Queensland rollout, letting agents track the real-time status of forms, view contracts and monitor signing progress from their phones while working in the field.
The contracts underpinning the new Queensland platform were written by Dentons’ Brisbane-based real estate team, drawing on the firm’s specialisation in both real estate and banking law to ensure compliance with current property law requirements.
Dentons real estate partner Cara Richardson said the collaboration had been a positive one for the firm.
“Working with Dynamic Methods on this initiative has been incredibly rewarding,” Cara said.
“Dentons has long been a market leader in real estate and banking law, and we were delighted to bring our experience to create Forms Live and help bring a seamless, technology-forward platform to real estate agents in Queensland.”
David said the addition of mobile access and integration options was about giving agencies more flexibility rather than tying them to a desktop.
“Technology shouldn’t shackle an agent to their desktop,” David added.
“Our focus has always been on creating elegant, compliant workflow efficiencies. With the new mobile app, a choice of AML integrations, and electronic signing options built in, we aren’t just saving Queensland agencies money – we’re giving them genuine choice.”
Queensland agencies can sign up to the platform via the Forms Live website.
