The team at Gladstone Legal have been very pro-active and encouraging the Legal community to embrace PEXA. They have completed some PEXA settlements now and willing to assist others in the legal community to transition to digital settlements. Well done guys and thank you for embracing PEXA. We look forward to many more to come.  The Gladstone Legal Crew - Paul, Karen, Jess & Theo & Basil. The Guard dogs - Basil & Theo.       ... View more

The crew at Dore & Webb Gympie know that PEXA can save time and money, but can also save their scalp. There is a rouge Magpie that lives in the tree outside the office and its a yearly challenge to get to a settlement without being swooped! The realization that they will not have to face the "white walker" of the Magpie world is such a relief.   PEXA not just changing the property landscape but also protecting its users    ...

Thanks Angela, a great insight into your thoughts about PEXA and your clients!   My journey with PEXA – Angela Treichel of AJT Legal   My journey with PEXA began in June 2016 when I was the principal Solicitor at a large conveyancing firm based in Noosa, where we became the first in Queensland to settle a conveyancing matter electronically via the PEXA platform.   It was an exciting time for the firm, and for myself professionally.  After my time at Noosa, I returned to my hometown in Gympie and worked for a local firm where we maintained a presence with PEXA.  In February this year I launched my own firm, AJT Legal, as a sole practitioner, with a major focus on being mobile, and using technology to its full extent with a particular focus on providing excellent customer service to my clients.  I actively seek to use PEXA for my settlements and it has been hugely beneficial to my clients and myself.  I do not currently have an office, using a work from home an d mobile model which allows me to keep my overheads down, and to work wherever I can find internet!  This has allowed me the freedom to have a flexible work life balance. PEXA works seamlessly with this model. With less emphasis on the need to physically attend settlements, I can achieve more settlements in a day, with less time and resources wasted on banking and processing paperwork.  The benefits of electronic settlements to clients are easy to see, with greater certainty of matters settling on time, cleared funds and immediate transfer of title, but the benefits to myself as a practitioner are undeniable.  I am excited to see PEXA gaining traction in my neck of the woods and I look forward to the day that all paper based transactions are in the past!     ...

I received a very happy phone call today from a firm that they have completed 250 settlements! This firm was a little slow to embrace PEXA in the beginning but are loving the fact that with PEXA they have so much more time to open more files and have already opened up 100 new files so far for the year. They also love the fact that there is less paperwork to deal with in preparation for settlements, after settlements time out of the office, and attending to the banks to bank cheques which is great for a small practice.   I am so proud of them, they just kept going forward with PEXA and are now reaping the benefits......Well Done Spilva & CO :)  ...

Stamp Duty Walk Thru   Have you seen the orange Walk Me Thru button on the Transfer Duty screen? This button launches a Walk Thru that guides you through how to verify duty in PEXA.   Here are some important things to note about verifying duty in QLD:   The stamping process starts in the PEXA Workspace so if you’re representing the purchasers, complete your Transfer and Form 24A first. Go to the Transfer Duty screen in PEXA and select how duty is to be paid. When all the relevant information is in the Workspace then an automated message will be sent the OSRconnect and a duty record will be created in there for you. You can locate this record in OSRconnect using the OSR transaction number located on the PEXA Transfer duty screen. When you have completed the assessment, come back to PEXA’s Transfer duty screen and click the cog to verify duty. Don’t forget we would love to hear your feedback on our Walk Thru’s so we can continue to improve them. ... View more

I was privileged to attend a Real Estate Agent event hosted by Baldwin Lawyers, By The Rules Conveyancing, Swift Legal & AJT Law to give a talk about PEXA and all the benefits that comes with using it. The RE Agents were very engaged and asked some great questions. They were also lucky enough to witness a "live" settlement during the event. Baldwin's & By The Rules attended with their laptops and readied their workspaces during the event, and we all watched it settle on the big screen. Well done to all on a fabulous event.

It was great to be a part of the Hervey Bay & Maryborough Real Estate Agent events hosted by Swift Legal, Suthers George, Gayler De Vere, Carswell & Co & Gold Law.   The Agents had the opportunity to hear from the practitioners on the benefits to their clients when settling on PEXA.   It was also a great way for them to catch up with each other and talk property and the future of property in QLD.   Well done on these two great events.

Well done to the team at Gold Law Hervey Bay for completing their first settlement! They registered in late December 2018, did their first training session on January 22nd where they opened their first workspace, then settled it on February 6th. That's a 2 week settlement turn around for their fist one. Their attitude towards change and embracing the digital age with PEXA shows how forward thinking they are. Kade only started Gold Law last year in April and is looking forward to a very long prosperous partnership with PEXA.   Well done again team Gold Law Hervey Bay, I know you will do great things.    Kade of Gold Law Hervey Bay Riley of Gold Law Hervey Bay ...

The team at Baldwins Lawyers have just completed their first PEXA settlement. Baldwins accepted the PEXA invite on the 29 th October and it settled on the 14 th November which is amazing for their very first settlement. Zasco from Baldwins tells me that…… "There's no turning back for me after doing a PEXA settlement. I honestly wish I could do every settlement I have using PEXA. I'm too scared to calculate how many man-hours (billable hours) I've lost doing settlements the old school way.” What a great achievement for them and here is to many many more PEXA settlements and saving many hours of work.   Great job team! ...
