NZ Realtors was founded in the mid 1990s on the overarching desire to ‘do better business in real estate’. Originally involving only a small group of independent agency principals, this driving purpose has led us to become a formidable national group of real estate professionals and one of the country’s largest networks based on total sales volumes.
What started as an informal discussion among friends and former colleagues, quickly established into a bi-annual gathering of professionals sharing resources, insights and advice. Topics ranged from training to pay structures and from HR to marketing.
Offering a growing knowledge base and opportunity for independent operators to seek support, the network grew through invitations to other leadings companies.
With such strength in its membership, the business opportunities through referrals became a natural progression for the network. A deliberately non-bureaucratic approach and freedom from of competition and politics between agencies allow referrals to flow fast and freely between members. Today, NZ Realtors is one of New Zealand’s largest referral networks.
The network’s benefits, both for its members and their clients, are realised in how we share knowledge and best practice, market insights and opportunities. Friendship and trust between the founders was the fundamental basis of the group at its inception, and we have worked to maintain this culture over the decades.
We believe our model, as an umbrella organisation for established and leading independent brands, delivers the best balance of local expertise and national connections. Any entity is only as good as its people, and our people are invited into the network on the basis of their strength, integrity and skill.
