About Real Estate Salesperson
A real estate salesperson licence requires you to be at least 18, complete the New Zealand Certificate in Real Estate (Salesperson) (Level 4), and satisfy the Real Estate Authority that you are a fit and proper person, after which you work under the supervision of an agent or branch manager. Asessly practises the knowledge that sits behind the qualification: the Real Estate Agents Act 2008, the Professional Conduct and Client Care Rules 2012, agency and property law, and the AML/CFT obligations that have applied to agencies since 2019.

Common questions
About Real Estate Salesperson and how Asessly prepares you for it.
Questions about Asessly itselfWhat do I need to work as a real estate salesperson in New Zealand?
You must be at least 18, complete the New Zealand Certificate in Real Estate (Salesperson) at Level 4, and satisfy the Real Estate Authority that you are a fit and proper person. Once licensed, a salesperson works under the supervision of an agent or branch manager.
Is there a single national real estate exam?
No. The Level 4 certificate is delivered and assessed by training providers rather than through one national examination, which is why preparation means covering a defined body of law rather than revising for a single sitting.
What does Asessly cover?
Agency law and the Real Estate Agents Act 2008, property law, titles and interests, the Professional Conduct and Client Care Rules 2012, AML/CFT obligations, and marketing, offers and agreements.
Does Asessly deliver the qualification?
No. We do not deliver the New Zealand Certificate in Real Estate (Salesperson), we are not affiliated with the Real Estate Authority, and Asessly practice does not lead to a licence.
Why does AML/CFT come up so often?
Anti-money laundering obligations have applied to real estate agencies since 2019, which makes customer due diligence part of the transaction rather than optional paperwork. It surprises new salespeople more than any other topic.
How do I actually apply for the salesperson's licence?
Online, through the REA licensee portal, which you reach with a RealMe account. You supply evidence of your qualification, a New Zealand passport or driver licence (a passport copy if you are applying from overseas), a completed and certified REA Form 5 declaration, a recent CV as a PDF, and contact details for two referees. You pay a one-off application fee when you apply, and annual levies after that.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes. Five original questions are free, with the reasoning behind each option, and no account is needed.
