"Searching the Real Estate Agents Register"

Illustration for Real Estate Agents Act 2008

You can search the register if you pay a fee, if there is one. You can search for a reason set out in section 64. The Registrar must let you look at the register when their office is open. You can also look at the register at other times if the Registrar says it is okay. The Registrar must give you a copy of the register, or part of it, if you ask and pay a reasonable charge. They will only give you a copy if it is consistent with the register’s purposes.
