From 1 July 2026, real estate agents in Australia must comply with new AML/CTF laws and verify the identity of buyers and sellers. Verify by Four Foxes helps small and medium agencies complete ID checks, PEP and sanctions screening, and generate verification reports designed to support your AML/CTF processes.
Think of it as a compliance cost you pass straight through to the transaction - not one that eats into your margin. Pay as you go, invoiced monthly - no subscription fees eating into your commission before settlement.
AML checks are a legal requirement - not a negotiation. But the existing market is built for large agencies and banks, leaving small to medium sized agencies behind: complex, expensive, and overkill for independent and boutique businesses. You shouldn't need a compliance team to keep up to date.
Enterprise tools cost hundreds per month - way more than a small agency needs or should pay.
Large end-to-end platforms are over-engineered for smaller businesses - you don't need a compliance team just to run a check.
100% manual processes are too time consuming and leave you exposed. There has to be a better way - and there is.
Non-compliance fines are serious - and "we didn't know" isn't a defence with AUSTRAC.
Priced for small to medium sized real estate agencies - not franchises or corporate head offices. Pass it through as a transaction cost and it doesn't cost your business a cent.

Verify is built for agency principals, not compliance officers. If you can send an email, you can use it.
Important: Verify provides information and workflow tools to assist your AML/CTF processes. It does not determine compliance or replace your legal obligations. You are responsible for assessing and meeting your requirements.
Determine which client or counterparty requires an AML check before proceeding with the transaction.
Generate a link directly from Verify - branded with your agency's logo - and send it to your client. No paperwork, no back and forth.
Receive a completed report with a full audit trail to support your records. Everything is logged with a full audit trail that can assist with regulatory enquiries.
If further verification is required, simply resend another link. Each check is tracked and recorded independently.
No upfront subscriptions. Checks are invoiced monthly - you pay per check, so your costs match your actual workload.
Verify handles your identity verification - but if you also need help setting up your AML/CTF program, running a health check, or preparing for AUSTRAC reporting, Four Foxes Consulting offers a full suite of practical, right-sized compliance services for real estate agencies.
Four Foxes Consulting saw small agencies being left behind by compliance software that's too big, too expensive, and too complicated - so we built the version we wish existed.
I'm passionate about small business and finding operational efficiencies that actually make a difference day to day. I've seen what good processes look like at scale - having been part of the team that built the operations and processes of an ASX-listed company - and I believe smaller businesses deserve the same quality tools, without the enterprise complexity or cost.
