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.

"We had previously worked with an agent who lacked professionalism and communication, which left us feeling disappointed with the overall experience. Paul and Annika completely restored our faith in real estate agents. From the beginning, they were professional, transparent, and clearly outlined the process best suited to selling our home. Their communication was excellent throughout, leaving no room for confusion or misinterpretation at any stage of the campaign. As a result the home was sold in 6 days. Although Paul was initially cautious about using a more cost-effective marketing package, we trusted their strategy and they delivered. A fantastic result and a great experience overall. We would absolutely recommend Paul and Annika to anyone looking to sell their home."

"I bought my apartment from Mary-Ann 3 years ago and she was great then and remains so today. It seemed the right move to have her and therefore Total Realty again. Mary-Ann is superb. Such an easy professional approach making what can be a stressful time smooth sailing. I’m very impressed, from the staff in your offices, to the photographer and of course most especially with Mary-Ann. Thank you all."
