Property Exchange Australia recognises leaders in digital property settlement

The annual PropertyX Awards, presented by Property Exchange Australia (PEXA), have recognised some of the best digital property settlement players in Australia.

Now in its second year, the event saw property developers, conveyancers, lawyers and lenders come together to celebrate businesses leading the digitisation of property settlements.

Awards were given to businesses that have demonstrated leadership, innovation and customer-centricity in delivering a safer and more efficient means of transacting property to the Australian market.

PEXA CEO Marcus Price said he was thrilled to see so much support from industry in bringing property transactions into the digital age.

“Property is our country’s largest asset class, so the work involved in driving property settlements online is significant,” he said.

“From a standing start, this industry has truly come together in developing superior means of transacting property to all Australians. Together we’ve tangibly reduced the risk of property fraud while also delivering consumers fast access to the proceeds of sale and a far less complex settlement experience”.

Winners of the Industry Excellence Awards were selected from entries submitted by PEXA’s network of more than 8,000 legal and conveyancing firms, and 150 lenders.

Receiving the award for Property Developer of the Year, Stockland National Conveyancing Manager, Jade Campbell said they were delighted to be honoured with the accolade.

“Moving to the PEXA platform has resulted in a more sustainable and efficient way of working at Stockland whilst reducing the volume and impact of settlement delays for the benefit of our customers,” she said.
