Real Estate Agent Finder Reviews & Insights
Real Estate Agent Finder is a service dedicated to helping Kiwis prosper from property sales by reviewing, scrutinising and shortlisting real estate companies.
Applying our unique vetting criteria clearly determines the most trustworthy, competent real estate agents in the industry - a much needed and completely free service.
14-years of service to home sellers guided by continual research of real estate industry conduct, standards and reviews help protect and inform property sellers.
WHY SELLERS HAVE MORE CONFIDENCE IN VETTED REAL ESTATE AGENTS
Higher than expected sale prices and fewer days on market are common for our clients evidenced by their reviews of vetted real estate agents on our testimonials page.
We understand the issues facing property sellers and have developed entrepreneurial solutions to preventable problems too often encountered by sellers. This includes checklists and flowcharts to help often vulnerable home sellers navigate their way through this legal process with a better understanding than most.
MISCONDUCT TO BE AWARE OF
Examples of misconduct include:
- real estate agents over-estimating property appraisals to incentivise people to sign an agency agreement to list their property or
- pressuring vendors to make decisions in haste that will effect their lives and equity.
This conduct is frowned upon by us and more importantly by the Real Estate Authority which labels this as 'Undue Pressure' in their complaints categories when reported.
Small details overlooked can result in big problems when selling a house. We have listened, conducted research, consulted with authorities, innovated and monitored data. Agent Finder NZ is a specialist service focussed 100% on serving NZ real estate consumers.
There have been many official complaints about real estate agents lodged with the REA in the last few years. 2025 has seen quite an increase in complaints since 2024 so caution is always advised.
Thinking ahead and making the real estate environment a safer space and easier to navigate is what we do for everyone who contacts us.

AGENT SHORTLISTS TAILORED TO PROPERTY TYPES
The same goes for selling a lifestyle block or an apartment, industrial or investment properties. This is another reason we vet agents - to ensure our clients get the very best real estate agent specific to their location and property type. View advice for selling different property types.
International real estate agents have expertise in handling multi-million dollar deals - use a vetted agent.
HOME SELLERS HAVE MORE CONTROL
The financial and emotional value of being a properly informed seller and having your property marketed by an astute, vetted and licensed professional operating in what is considered one of the most mistrusted industries cannot be underestimated.
Our service prioritises this for every client.
