Frequently asked questions

How do I find a real estate agent in New Zealand?
Use our Find an Agent directory to search every licensed real estate agent in NZ by name, region, or agency. Browse agent profiles to compare experience, specialties, recent sales, and contact details, then reach out directly to the agent who's the right fit for your property.
How many real estate agents are there in New Zealand?
There are over 16,000 licensed real estate agents working across New Zealand, from Northland to Southland. They're spread across major brands like Barfoot & Thompson, Bayleys, Harcourts, and Ray White, as well as hundreds of independent agencies throughout the country.
How do I choose the best real estate agent in NZ?
Look for an agent with an active REA licence, experience in your area and property type, a strong track record of recent sales, and clear communication. Our directory lets you filter by region and compare agent profiles side by side, including their specialties, languages, and client testimonials.
Are all real estate agents in New Zealand licensed?
Yes. Every agent listed in our directory holds an active licence from the Real Estate Authority (REA) of New Zealand. You can verify each agent's licence class and status on their profile, and filter by licence status to ensure you're working with a fully licensed professional.
Which real estate agencies and brands operate in New Zealand?
New Zealand's real estate market includes major brands like Barfoot & Thompson, Bayleys, Harcourts, and Ray White, alongside national networks like Property Brokers, Arizto, and Leaders. Browse our Real Estate Firms in NZ section to explore brands by region and agent count.
How do I find a real estate agent near me?
Use the region filter or the interactive region explorer map to narrow results to your local area — Auckland, Wellington, Canterbury, Bay of Plenty, Otago, and every other NZ region. Each agent profile shows the areas they service, so you can find a local expert who knows your market.
What's the difference between a real estate agent and a real estate agency?
A real estate agent is an individual licensed professional who sells and manages property. An agency (or firm) is the business they work under — for example, an agent at Barfoot & Thompson or Harcourts. Our directory lets you browse both individual agents and the agencies they belong to.
Can I compare real estate agents in my area?
Yes. Search or filter by region to see all agents in your area, then compare their profiles — including years of experience, specialties (residential, commercial, rural), languages spoken, recent sales, client testimonials, and professional awards — to find the best agent for your needs.
How much does a real estate agent cost in New Zealand?
Real estate agent commissions in New Zealand typically range from 2% to 4% of the sale price, plus GST, though rates vary by agency and region. Contact agents directly through their Localist profile to discuss fees, marketing costs, and what's included in their service.
I'm a real estate agent — how do I list on Localist?
