Real Estate Agents Act 2008 (REAA)
The REAA 2008 comes into full effect today. All real estate agents (includes companies licensed as agents) must be licensed under this Act. It requires agents to ensure certain information is displayed on all advertisements, including the agent’s name and the fact that they are licensed under the Act.
When agents list property on Trade Me, the words “Licensed Agent (REAA 2008)” will be included beneath the agent’s company name.
For more information on obligations under the REAA 2008, see the REAA website.
Problems Placing Bids
Some users were experiencing problems placing bids between 3:20pm and 3:35pm this afternoon. As a consequence we have extended all auctions that were due to close between 3:20pm and 3:40pm by one hour.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused our members.
Improved searching in Motors
We've tweaked our vehicle categories to return more relevent results and hotter auctions to the top of your search results. We now also show the exact dates that classifieds were listed, in order to give buyers more transparency on the age of listings.
Christmas Gift Finder
With Christmas right around the corner, our Gift Finder has plenty of great ideas for Mum, Dad, the kids or your significant other.
