AI summary
Understanding real estate agent fees is crucial when selling your home. There are no standard rates in NZ, but costs typically include an admin fee, vendor paid advertising (VPA), and a tiered commission based on the final sale price.
The Real Estate Authority (REA) requires agents to provide a written cost estimate before you sign an agreement. Remember that commission rates are often negotiable. VPA is usually paid upfront, while commission is paid once the sale goes unconditional.
