Being a real estate agent can be a lucrative career, but not always.
AI summary
Real estate agent earnings in NZ are commission-based, with an average salary around $99,785. Income varies greatly as agents are only paid upon a successful sale, earning a percentage of the property's price.
Agents typically receive 55-70% of the total commission, with the remainder going to their agency. For sellers, it's crucial to know that commission rates and marketing costs are often negotiable before signing an agreement. Getting multiple appraisals can help secure the best agent and terms.
