What is the Real Estate Authority (REA)?

The Real Estate Agents Authority

The REA is the licensing and disciplinary body for the real estate industry. It is an independent government agency that sits under the Ministry of Justice and relates to e-Agent NZ Ltd as a separate REA Approved Provider organisation. This approved status permits e-Agent to provide real estate licensees with annually required CPD (Continuing Professional Development) verified and non-verified training.

The primary function of the Real Estate Authority is to provide the New Zealand population with a balanced and professional marketplace. It operates under the 2008 Real Estate Agents Authority Act.

The REA produces the professional conduct and client care rules and administrates its functions through its real estate licensing and disciplinary operations. The REA also operates a Public Register of licensees. The REA may be reached at:
