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 NZ vary greatly, with an average salary around $99,785. Most agents are paid by commission, not a fixed salary, meaning their income depends entirely on successful sales.
The commission is a percentage of the property's sale price, but the agent typically only receives 55-70% of this total, with the rest going to their agency. This creates high earning potential but also risk. Home sellers can often negotiate commission rates before signing an agreement.
