Being a real estate agent can be a lucrative career, but not always.
AI summary
Real estate agent earnings in NZ vary widely, with an average salary of $99,785. However, agents are paid by commission, not a fixed salary, meaning their income is entirely dependent on successful property sales.
The total commission is split between the agent (who typically receives 55-70%) and their agency. For example, Barfoot and Thompson uses a tiered structure starting at 3.95%.
Home sellers can and should try to negotiate commission rates or marketing costs before signing an agreement.
