Case study - Industry membership for Valuers

A number of Valuers have contacted LIXI expressing a keen desire to join as full members and contribute towards the definition of current and future versions of the standard. A cited obstacle in their ability to do so is often the ongoing cost of membership compared to the size of the company. These interested members, usually sole operators, have said that they work with a larger company or a consortium of similar valuers and have asked LIXI if they can join as a group.

The answer is yes. Mortgage Brokers like Valuers have set a precedent by joining LIXI through AFG. They have one Full [Ordinary] Membership and one vote via their nominated representative and for all intents and purposes act like a large company. When it comes to volunteering for working groups anyone interested may join and contribute.

If you are still unsure about all this please contact us via email and we will answer your specific query. Welcome to LIXI!
