Heads Up! Important Disclosure

We’re here to make your journey easier by showing you what’s available from developers. We’re not licensed real estate agents — we don’t negotiate prices or handle contracts.

All the details we share (like pricing, specs, and timelines) come directly from the developer. These can change, so please double-check everything with the developer or their licensed sales representative.

To work with us, you need to appoint your own independent lawyer early in the process — ideally someone who specialises in first-home purchases and sale contracts. They’ll work directly with the seller on your behalf, with you as their client, to protect your interests and guide you through the contract side.

Think of us as your support crew — here to connect you with opportunities, and to help you get the right experts (like your lawyer) on your team from the very beginning. The official sale and contract will always go through the developer or their licensed sales representative, with your lawyer by your side.
Aera is an initiative of the Aera Foundation, a charitable trust backing creative responses to social and environmental challenges. Aera Foundation is registered as CC50290 with the New Zealand Charities Commission.
