ONLINE QUERY MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES FOR ESTATE AGENTS

HOW TO INTERACT WITH THE EAAB?

ESTATE AGENCY AFFAIRS BOARD (EAAB) ONLINE QUERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

As from the 2nd of May 2017, all registered estate agents including disqualified estate agents in
terms of Section 27 of the Estate Agency Affairs 112 of 1976 will be required to submit their
query using the online query management system.

The online system is intended to ensure that all queries are logged on the system, tracked and
allocated to the relevant department for consideration and processing by an estate agents using
MyEAAB portal to log a query.

With this change, it therefore means that Estate Agency Affairs Board will no longer accept
emailed queries from estate agents. All emailed queries from the different mailboxes will be
disregarded and the relevant estate agent will be redirected to log a query on MyEAAB portal.

A few questions that can assist in understanding the online system better.

1. What type of queries can be submitted via the online system?

All types of service request from estate agents can be submitted using MyEAAB portal to
submit a query by clicking https://www.eaab.org.za/myffc/query_logging.

A drop down list has been provided on the online system based on the query types that
we receive from estate agents.

2. Can an estate agent log a query if they have not created a profile on MyEAAB
system?

The system will not be able to recognize the individual estate agent; as such the estate
agent will be required to create a profile before they can log a query.

Members of the public will not be able to log queries online except if they which to
