About NZ Realtors Network

Better, simpler and wiser

Better than a national chain

Through a comprehensive network of market-leading real estate companies, we currently hold around 24% of national market share, providing access to more of the New Zealand real estate market than most of the national chains.

Our members are local experts with established reputations. They’ve grown in tandem with their respective communities and know what works best, creating tailored marketing plans that are in-tune with the local market.

Referrals also flow freely and swiftly and through this extensive network, helping match people with properties more quickly.

Simpler sales and acquisitions

Whether it is several properties or hundreds, we manage and coordinate your transactions through a single point of contact, while still drawing on the localised capabilities and referral power of the entire network.

Network fees can be negotiated upfront, and by working with market-leading suppliers, our clients benefit directly from highly competitive marketing and service rates.

Wiser with complex transactions

NZ Realtors brings together the skill and nous of some of the country’s most astute real estate managers as well as the collective benefit of their truly well-established processes, policies and relationships.

We have a proven track record in managing sensitive transactions. We also recognise that potentially contentious sales can attract public and media attention, and take every step to protect clients’ interests throughout the sales process.

Our members work to best practice and are bound by their established ethical, codes of practice and the high expectations of their colleagues in the network.

With an unrivalled team founded on expertise, reputation and national scale, NZ Realtors is the better, simpler and wiser option for your property transaction.
