Property.Credit joins REIWA as sponsor to support Western Australian sellers
Oct 29, 2026
New sponsorship gives REIWA members access to pre-sale funding for property improvements, styling, marketing and deposit advances
Perth, Australia (PRUnderground) October 29th, 2026
Property.Credit has joined REIWA as an Event Sponsor, giving REIWA members access to funding options designed to help sellers prepare their property for sale.
Property.Credit provides funding for pre-sale improvements, styling, marketing and deposit advances, with funded amounts recovered at settlement rather than paid upfront by the seller.
Property.Credit co-founder and CEO Giordano Stepancic said the business was established to give sellers greater flexibility during the sales process.
The idea began with a referral from a seller named Ken, whose wife had been diagnosed with dementia. Property.Credit funded a caravan so the couple could take a planned trip while their home was being sold.
"That was the moment the business really started," Mr Stepancic said.
"We kept asking ourselves why there wasn't a solution that gave sellers more flexibility while selling their home. That question became the company and continues to shape how we work with sellers and agencies today."
The sponsorship comes following strong growth in Perth's property market. Perth's median house sale price increased 18.7 per cent in the 12 months to June 2026.
Mr Stepancic said Property.Credit was looking forward to working more closely with REIWA members in Western Australia.
"Western Australia is a market we have been interested in for a long time," he said.
"Partnering with REIWA gives us an opportunity to work more closely with member agencies and support their clients through the sales process."
REIWA CEO Blaine Slater said the sponsorship would provide members with another option to support sellers preparing their properties for market.
"Our members are always looking for practical ways to help their clients achieve the best possible result," Mr Slater said.
"Property.Credit gives sellers another option to fund the preparation and marketing of their property without an upfront payment.
"We are pleased to welcome Property.Credit as an Event Sponsor.
How it works

- pre-sale renovations and repairs
- home styling and presentation
- marketing and advertising campaigns
- deposit advances
- equity release of up to 80 per cent of a property's equity before settlement.
The funded amount is recovered from the proceeds of the sale at settlement.
As part of the sponsorship, Mr Stepancic will spend more time in Western Australia working with REIWA member agencies.
