This week we’ve seen more leadership changes, major milestones and some big award winners.

We have all the updates in this edition of Movers + Shakers!

Kate Littlejohn has been appointed Co-CEO of Harcourts Tasmania, joining Tony Morrison after more than two decades working together, a move designed to strengthen leadership continuity and guide the network’s next phase of growth.

The Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) has rejoined the REIA after an 11-year absence, restoring Queensland’s voice at a national level and reconnecting members with federal advocacy and industry programs.

Winners have also been named across two major networks, with First National Real Estate recognising its top Queensland performers at its 2025 State Awards, while REMAX Australia honoured standout agents and offices at its national awards gala in Brisbane.

All that and more in this week’s edition of Movers + Shakers!
