How does Trade Me’s new appraisal form work?

We direct traffic to the appraisal form from various locations across Trade Me’s apps and website including:

Your listings
Your agent profile
The homepage on Trade Me’s yellow app

Any appraisal originating from your listings and profile will be sent exclusively to you.

When a homeowner finds the appraisal form from a generic location (e.g. The homepage of Trade Me’s yellow app), you will be suggested amongst other customers. Some important logic to note:

The list of agents provided to the homeowner will be based on the homeowner's address.
The list is sorted by proximity of your sales to the address. This means the agent who sold the closest property to the address (within the last 24 months) will be first in the list.
The sale must be within the same suburb.
A homeowner can select up to 5 agents to send an appraisal request to.
You must be a Premium Plus agent to appear in this form.

How do I improve my chances of getting an appraisal?

To improve your chances of getting an appraisal we recommend:

Keeping your sales up to date: We use sales data to showcase you across our platform and to determine how you appear in our appraisal forms. The more up-to-date this information is the more likely you are to appear at the right place at the right time in front of a potential seller.
Have an active profile in One Hub: Without a profile in One Hub you will not appear in our appraisal form on Trade Me.
