Property settlements were traditionally conducted by law firms, real estate agents and banks. All representatives of the parties in each transaction would meet at the Land Titles Office, who checked all documents before registration. The role of the AICWA is to promote the interests of settlement agents within the Western Australian government and other private organisations involved in the real estate profession.

By 1970 others, namely City Settlements (John Michelle), Statewide Settlements (Gary Hoare), Steen Settlements (June Steen - the first female settlement agent) and Realty Settlements (Greg Holmes) were established.
