Becoming a registered auctioneer
All auctioneers in New Zealand must be registered — or be an employee of a registered auctioneer — and must not be disqualified under the Auctioneers Act 2013.
Real Estate agents are exempt from this requirement under Section 48 of the Real Estate Agents Act 2008.
It’s also not necessary to register as an auctioneer to run an internet auction, such as on Trade Me.
