Real estate commission NZ: what to expect + tips on negotiating
Selling property isn’t cheap!
AI summary
Selling your home involves significant costs. In NZ, expect to pay a real estate commission of 2.95%-3.95% on the first ~$500k of the sale price and 2%-2.5% on the rest, plus 15% GST.
These fees are fully negotiable. You can ask for a lower rate or request that marketing costs are credited back on sale. Be aware of extra charges for marketing (approx. $2,000+), auctioneer services (~$900), and admin fees, which are not included in the commission.
