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 are highly variable and based on commission, not salary. While the average income is around $99,785, this depends entirely on sales success.
Agents earn a percentage of a property's sale price but typically only receive 55-70% of the total commission, with the rest going to their agency. No sales result in no income. For sellers, it's important to know that commission rates are often negotiable before signing an agreement.
