How it works
01

Answer 19 questions about your situation.

Around 10 minutes. Most are tap-the-box. Honest answers get you a useful brief — fluffy answers don’t.

02

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.

03

Keep it, or take the next step.

If you’d like, we can also help you find the right agent — and the terms are sorted before you meet. Optional. Otherwise just keep your brief and use it however you want.

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. The commission rate is something we negotiate with the agent before any introduction is made.

2

Marketing costs.

Most agencies quote $3,000–$8,000 for a campaign — drone photography, premium portal placement, signage, brochures. A marketing reduction is something we negotiate before any introduction is made. The exact saving depends on the listing.

Plus the smaller stuff most vendors don’t think to ask about — auction costs and who owns the photos. These are sorted 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 agent fits, so the terms reflect the situation properly.
