Real Estate Christchurch | 1.5% Commission Real Estate Agents

Experts in real estate in Christchurch & the South Island

Our Mission: Lowering Your Commission

At Total Realty, we believe selling your home shouldn’t come with excessive commission fees.

In 2007, our founders set out to challenge the industry norm — creating a smarter, fairer way to sell real estate in New Zealand. The result is a model that eliminates unnecessary costs while delivering a premium, full-service selling experience.

Since then, we’ve proudly saved clients over $137 million in real estate fees. (Savings calculated by comparing our rate of 1.5% to traditional rates of 3.95%. An admin fee of $550 + GST applies.)

Experience That Delivers Results

Our award-winning sales consultants bring more than 150 years of combined experience to the table. With deep local knowledge, strong negotiation skills, and proven marketing strategies, we consistently deliver results above the market average.

Independent Trade Me statistics show Total Realty outperforming competitors in key areas — including property views, engagement, enquiries, and time on the market.

Premium Marketing — Without the Premium Price

Every listing benefits from our high-impact marketing campaigns, designed to attract maximum buyer attention, nationally and internationally.

We use the best photographers and targeted online campaigns that get results. Full-colour signboards, flags, and directional signs to pull buyers in, with professionally designed brochures and QR codes for instant property information.

Our marketing is polished, consistent, and built to convert interest into offers — proof that you can cut commission without cutting corners.

"Lower rates, the personality of the agent, a good initial impression of Wayne, his willingness to engage without being pushy, and his enthusiasm for the job. Very calm, controlled, no fuss, no unnecessary phone calls, flashy updates using expensive software. A thoroughly professional job."

"We already knew Annette from previous dealings and we knew we could trust her advice and that she would do a good job selling our house. Annette was very professional, we felt she was giving us honest information and advice, she worked hard and did an excellent job with our open homes. We were very pleased with the price she was able to sell our house for."

"Recommendation from another agent. Raewyn came in with a lot higher price guide than any other agent had; even though I believed that the property was worth that value, I felt Raewyn would push that price more than anyone else and in the end exceeded my expectations. I found Total Realty the best value on the market, not only the agency fee; Raewyn went above and beyond in preforming and delivering on what she said she would, fast communication and ensuring she captured all of the buyers on the market to ensure I was getting the best price."
