How much do real estate agents make in NZ?
Being a real estate agent can be a lucrative career, but not always.
AI summary
Real estate agent earnings in New Zealand are primarily commission-based, leading to significant income variation. While the average salary is around $99,785, actual pay depends entirely on successful sales.
Agents earn a percentage of the property's sale price but split this commission with their agency, typically receiving 55-70% of the total. For sellers, this means you can negotiate commission rates and other costs like marketing before signing an agreement, potentially saving thousands of dollars.
