If you Google Real Estate Investors Network you may see results about a different company that once used the REIN name. That company is not us. Here is the clear story so you can feel confident about who you are dealing with today.

What you might see online

  • Old website: rein.com.au (inactive)
  • Old company: Real Estate Investors Network Pty Ltd, ACN 075 579 216
  • Founder: Jim Downs
  • Activity: sold units
  • Status: deregistered by ASIC on 16 July 2023

Why the ACN matters

In Australia the ACN is the true identifier of a company. Names and domains can be reused after deregistration, but an ACN cannot. Different ACN means different legal entity. Our ACN is 654 813 939. The earlier company’s ACN was 075 579 216. They are not the same company.

How to verify in thirty seconds

  1. Search the ASIC register for ACN 654 813 939 to see our company and the recorded name change.
  2. Search the ASIC register for ACN 075 579 216 to see the former company and its deregistration in 2023.
  3. Compare the ACNs. They are different, which confirms there is no link between the two companies.

What this means for you

  • No inherited obligations from the earlier business
  • Written disclosure of any commissions
  • Rebates shown clearly so the money flows back to you
  • Respect for your time and budget
