Complaints Procedure
Agents, Branch Managers and Salespersons licensed (“Licensee”) under the Real Estate Agents Act 2008 (‘the Act”) have, in addition to various other requirements of the Act, a duty of professional care and conduct.
In the event that any client, customer or prospective client or customer feels they have not received the level of professional conduct judiciously required by a Licensee then they have the right to address those concerns with the Licensee or with the Real Estate Agents Authority; or both.

A Licensee must ensure that prospective clients, clients and customers are aware that they may access the REAA’s complaints process without first using the in-house procedures, and that any use of the in-house procedures does not preclude their making a complaint to the REAA.
