I'm a Real Estate Agent -
Do I need to be a Registered Auctioneer?

The amended Real Estate Agents Act (2008) has provision for a Real Estate Agent to be able to sell property by auction :-

48(2) An agent’s licence authorises the licensee to sell or offer to sell land by auction, and operates as an exemption from the requirement in the Auctioneers Act 2013 to be registered as an auctioneer.

However it is highly recommended by the Auctioneers Association of New Zealand Inc. that you do become a Registered Auctioneer to conduct the Auction.
Advantages include:

Confidence of your customers in your professional standards and ethics.
Experience, resources and membership of the AANZ and the benefits that this offers.
