For real estate agents

Qualified vendor leads. No retainers. Pay only on success.

We match Kiwi homeowners with the top-performing agents in their suburb — based on verified sales data, not advertising spend. If you're consistently outperforming the median in your patch, we want to talk.

How it works

Four steps to your next vendor lead.

1

Apply

Submit your details and recent sales record. We verify your REAA licence and benchmark your performance against your suburb.

2

Get matched

When a vendor in your service area enquires, we surface up to three agents — including you, if your suburb fit and track record qualify.

3

Win the listing

Vendors choose who to engage with. The strongest data and the most credible plan typically wins — no agency politics, no advertising.

4

Pay on settlement

Only when the sale completes do you pay our 14.5% referral fee. No deal, no fee. No exceptions.

Why agents like the model

Built to reward craft, not advertising spend.

No upfront cost

Compare us to portal subscriptions ($1,000–$3,000+ a month) or per-lead networks ($150–$400 per inbound). Our model is risk-shared by design.

Vendor-intent leads

Our enquiries come from homeowners actively comparing agents to list with — not buyer enquiries, not market-curious browsers, not scraped contacts.

Geographically focused

You only see leads in your declared service area. We don't spam Auckland agents with Christchurch enquiries.

Common questions

Agent FAQ.

Nothing upfront. There are no retainers, no subscriptions, and no per-lead fees. You pay 14.5% of your commission to Best Agent NZ — but only when a sale completes through a vendor we matched you with. If a deal doesn't close, you pay nothing.

Any current REAA 2008-licensed real estate agent in New Zealand with a verifiable track record of recent residential sales. We prioritise agents whose performance data — sale price, days on market, sales volume — places them in the top quartile of their suburb.

Each vendor lead is shared with up to three matched agents — they choose who to engage with. This keeps the comparison meaningful for vendors and aligns with our independence promise. There is no exclusive-lead tier.

By verifiable performance data: recent sale prices in the vendor's suburb, days on market, sale price relative to RV, and sales volume in the past 12 months. We don't accept payment for ranking, ever. Agents who consistently underperform their suburb median are removed from the network.

A simple introduction acknowledgement (so we can track outcomes) and an agreement to honour the 14.5% referral fee at settlement. We don't take editorial control of your listings, marketing, or process.
