AGENT FAQ

Common agent questions, the datasets, the terms.

Frequently asked questions

Is the first MapCheck report really free for agents?

Yes. The first MapCheck report is free for real estate agents bringing a new listing — our way of letting you experience the report before you commit. Subsequent reports follow standard agent pricing.

How does a MapCheck report help me list rural property?

Three ways. First, you turn up to the appraisal already across what's on the land — vegetation, biodiversity, bushfire, flood, zoning, native title — drawn from 140+ NSW Government datasets. Second, you can answer buyer due-diligence questions with evidence. Third, properties with a MapCheck report attached attract serious, prepared buyers.

Can I co-brand the report with my agency?

Yes. Co-branded reports — your agency's logo alongside MapCheck's — are part of the agent program. Talk to us about it.

What if the property doesn't sell?

Talk to us — we have arrangements for agents handling longer-running listings.

How is a MapCheck report different from a Section 10.7 (149) planning certificate?

A 10.7 lists certain planning information for one property. A MapCheck report covers 140+ NSW Government datasets — including biodiversity, native vegetation, bushfire, flood, and federal EPBC layers — in plain English, with the implications spelled out for a buyer.

What does it cost after the first free report?

Agent pricing is structured around the buyer-funded model so agents pay nothing per listing on a successful sale. Reach out to discuss.
