Disclaimer, Privacy & Terms of Use

Please read carefully. By using mybestagent.co.nz you agree to the terms below.

Last updated:

1. About this website

This website (mybestagent.co.nz) is operated by My Best Agent, a real estate referral and matching service based in Auckland, New Zealand. We connect Auckland homeowners with licensed real estate agents who can provide property appraisals and listing services.

My Best Agent is not a licensed real estate agency. We do not list, market, sell, or appraise properties ourselves. We are a marketing and referral service only.

We currently operate in Auckland, with plans to expand to other parts of New Zealand.

2. What we do — and what we don't do

3. Referral fees

We may receive a referral fee from the licensed agent we connect you with if you choose to list your property with them. This fee is paid by the agent, not by you. It does not increase the commission you pay your agent and does not affect the service you receive.

We disclose this so you can make an informed decision. Any agent we refer you to is selected for their suitability for your property — not for the size of the referral fee they pay us.

4. Appraisals are provided by licensed agents

Any market appraisal you receive will be provided directly by the licensed real estate agent we match you with — not by My Best Agent. A market appraisal is the agent's professional opinion of the likely sale price of your property based on recent comparable sales and current market conditions.

A market appraisal is not a registered valuation. If you require a registered valuation (for example, for bank lending, legal proceedings, or relationship property matters), you must engage a registered valuer.

5. No financial, legal or tax advice

Information on this website is general in nature and does not take into account your personal circumstances. Nothing on this website constitutes financial, legal, tax, or investment advice. Before making any property-related decision, you should seek independent advice from a qualified professional.

6. Accuracy of information

We take reasonable care to ensure that information on this website is accurate at the time of publication. However, we do not warrant that all content is current, complete, or free from error. Market data, statistics, and suburb information are sourced from publicly available data and third parties and may change without notice.

7. Privacy & how we use your information

What we collect

When you submit a form on this website, we collect the information you provide: your name, contact details (email and mobile), property address, property type, your timeline, and any notes you choose to share.

How we use it

Who we share it with

We share your details with one carefully selected licensed real estate agent in your area. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with multiple agents or third-party data buyers.

We may also share information with service providers who help us run this website (such as hosting, email, and analytics providers), or where required by law.

Your rights under the Privacy Act 2020

You have the right to ask what personal information we hold about you, request corrections, and ask us to delete it. To do so, contact us at hello@mybestagent.co.nz. If you have a privacy concern that we have not resolved, you can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner at privacy.org.nz.

8. Cookies & analytics

This website may use cookies and analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. These tools may collect anonymous information such as your approximate location, the pages you visit, and the device you are using. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time.

9. Links to other websites

This website may contain links to third-party websites, including those of licensed real estate agents we partner with. We do not control these websites and are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or accuracy. Linking to a third-party website does not mean we endorse all of its content.

10. Real Estate Agents Act 2008

All agents in our network are licensed under the Real Estate Agents Act 2008 and are bound by the Real Estate Agents Act (Professional Conduct and Client Care) Rules 2012. The conduct of those agents is governed directly by the Real Estate Authority — not by My Best Agent.

A copy of the REA approved guide for buyers and sellers can be obtained from rea.govt.nz. If you believe a licensed agent has not met the standards required, complaints should be made to the Real Estate Authority.

11. Limitation of liability

My Best Agent is a referral service. We are not responsible for the conduct, advice, performance, or any acts or omissions of the licensed real estate agent we match you with. Any contract for agency services is between you and the agent — not between you and My Best Agent.

To the fullest extent permitted by New Zealand law, we are not liable for any loss, damage, or cost (including indirect or consequential loss) arising from your use of this website, your dealings with a matched agent, or any decisions you make based on information provided through it.

Nothing in this disclaimer is intended to limit any rights you have under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, the Fair Trading Act 1986, or other consumer protection laws that cannot lawfully be excluded.

12. Copyright

All content on this website — including text, logo, design, layout, and imagery — is owned by My Best Agent unless otherwise noted, and is protected by copyright. You may view and print pages for personal, non-commercial use, but you may not copy, reproduce, republish, or use this content for commercial purposes without prior written permission.

13. Changes to this page

We may update this disclaimer from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of the page shows when changes were last made. Continued use of the website after changes are published means you accept the updated terms.
