As September marks the start of the ‘back to business’ season, it’s the perfect opportunity for property sourcing agents to refocus and set their businesses on the right path. Whether you’re just starting or already operating and want to ensure you’re fully compliant, now is the ideal time to take proactive steps towards legitimacy and long-term growth.
Guidance from Industry Expert and NAPSA CEO, Tina Walsh
In our recent webinar, Tina Walsh – expert in property sourcing compliance – was asked about NAPSA’s Complete Sourcing Agent Course and whether it provides agents with what they need to get fully compliant.
Tina highlights that our training isn’t a single course, but a collection of focused modules, each addressing critical areas every sourcing agent must master:
- Legally Required Data Protection: Tailored specifically for sourcing agents, this course ensures you handle client data correctly and legally. NAPSA’s training has been created specifically for sourcing agents.
- Legally Required Anti-Money Laundering: A specialist course helping you protect yourself from money laundering activities and stay aligned with the latest regulations.
- Day-to-Day Deal Packaging: Guides you through the entire process of sourcing or deal packaging—from first contact to project completion, with compliance built in at every stage.
- Legally Required Documents: Offers comprehensive templates and guidance, so you have all documentation needed to operate your business lawfully.
Tina also reinforces the personal support available throughout your course journey. If you have questions, you’ll have direct access to expert guidance in the course platform at any stage – and when it comes to applying documents to your business, the NAPSA team is ready to help with one-to-one calls.

Why Compliance – and Timing – Matters
Operating as a property sourcing agent brings responsibility. Regulatory requirements around data protection, anti-money laundering, and legal documentation are becoming more closely monitored. It’s never been more important to make sure your business is legitimate, protected, and prepared for growth into 2026 and beyond.
Some training courses offer quick fixes but lack ongoing support or practical documentation. Ours is structured for lasting security. There is no judgment on how your company has operated to date—what matters now is your willingness to move forward and put the correct foundations in place.
