The right agent. Fair terms.
Sorted before you meet.

We find the agent who's actually sold places like yours before. Then we agree two things with them before you meet: a lower commission rate, and a reduction on marketing costs. You walk in ready to talk about the move.

What we sort, before you meet

Two things vendors usually don't realise are negotiable.

Finding the right agent is half the job. The terms you sign with them are the other half — and most vendors sign whatever the agent puts in front of them, because they don't know what's negotiable. Here's what is.

1
The commission rate.

The "standard" rate isn't standard — it's a starting position. Major NZ agencies publish rates around 3.5%–4% on the first chunk of the sale price, dropping to about 2% on the rest. A 1% reduction on an $800,000 sale is $8,000. On $1.2m, it's $12,000. We agree the commission rate with every agent we work with, before any vendor is introduced.

2
Marketing costs.

Most agencies quote $3,000–$8,000 for a campaign — drone photography, premium portal placement, signage, brochures. We negotiate a reduction with every agent we work with, before any vendor is introduced. The exact saving depends on the listing.

Plus the smaller stuff most vendors don't think to ask about — auction costs, cancellation terms, who owns the photos. We sort that as part of the introduction. You don't pay us — the agent pays us a referral when you sign with them. We choose carefully which agents we work with, so the terms reflect the situation properly.

Find the agent your situation actually needs.

Here's how it works.

1
Answer 19 questions about your situation. Three minutes. Most are tap-the-box. Honest answers get you a useful brief — fluffy answers don't.
2
Read your Seller's Brief. Written specifically for you. What's working in your favour, what's worth thinking through, where the dollar's worth spending and where it isn't, and the kind of agent your situation actually needs.
3
If you'd like, we'll match you with the right agent — and the terms are already sorted. We don't run a roster — we find the agent whose experience actually fits what your brief just described. The agents we work with have agreed to a lower commission rate and a reduction on marketing costs — so by the time you sit down with them, the commercial side is done. You hear from us before you hear from any agent. No obligation, no fee.

What's off about the place?
What's the money reason?
What kind of situation?
What are you most curious about?
Question 2 of 19
What's the plan after?
Rough idea's fine — this is rarely fully worked out at this stage.
Question 3 of 19
How ready is the place itself?
Tap a dot, or drag. Be straight with yourself — this shapes what the brief says.

Phase one complete

Good. Now the place itself.

Eleven quick ones about the house — bedrooms, condition, that kind of thing. This is where the brief gets specific to your place — things worth thinking about, worth raising with any agent, and worth leaving alone.

Question 8 of 19 · The place
How many bedrooms?
The bed-to-bath mix is worth thinking through — stick with us.
Question 9 of 19 · The place
And bathrooms?
A separate loo counts as a half.
Question 10 of 19 · The place
Roughly how much land?
A rough idea is fine. Don't worry about exact metres.
Question 11 of 19 · The place
Roughly when was it built?
An educated guess is fine. Era tells us what buyers expect.
Question 12 of 19 · The place
How's the kitchen?
Be honest — this is the single biggest buyer decision point in most NZ homes.

Question 14 of 19 · The place
Any mortgage on the place?
Rough answer is fine. This matters because break-fees can change the timing.
Question 15 of 19 · The place
Who's living there right now?
Changes how the prep plan looks.
Question 16 of 19 · The place
Any work done without council consent?
Really common to have something. The brief will flag anything worth raising early, so you aren't surprised later.
Question 17 of 19 · The place
Anything you've already done?
Tick any that apply — or none. We'll skip over these in your brief.
Question 18 of 19 · This one shapes the brief most
What would you want an agent to understand about this place or this sale?
The things the questions above couldn't quite get at. What's unusual about the property, or about this sale, that the right agent would need to know. This is the one question you're answering in your own words — take your time here.
Question 19 of 19 · Last one
Where's the property?
Town or suburb is enough - we don't need the street. This helps us introduce you to an agent who actually works in your area.
Last step · Where should we send it?
Your Seller's Brief is ready to write.
We'll email you a copy once it's finished. If you choose matching at the end, we'll be in touch about that — otherwise, that's it. No newsletters, no spam.

Writing your brief.
reading your answers
You've just read what kind of agent fits your situation. Want us to find them?
The line above starting "the agent worth finding" is the brief we'd use to match you. We personally find someone whose experience actually fits — not a roster, not a generic local agent. If we don't have the right match for your situation, we tell you. If we do, we introduce you, with the commercial side already sorted — a lower commission rate and a reduction on marketing costs, both agreed with the agent before you meet. You take it from there.

A few specifics:
  • 3–5 working days to find the right match — we don't pass your details to anyone before then
  • You hear from us before you hear from any agent
  • Commission and marketing reduction both agreed with the agent in advance
  • No obligation. The agent pays our referral fee if you list with them — never you
  • If we don't have the right fit, we say so. We'd rather tell you that than send you a maybe
A phone number so we can reach you
We'll be in touch within 3–5 working days with a matched agent for your situation, or an honest "we don't have the right fit" if that's the answer.

All done.

Your brief is on its way to your email.
