    I’m thinking about selling a house in NZ that is currently tenanted. My question is how many agents should I list with?

    Hi there,

    Choose the one that you think is going to do the best job for you, interview couple, ask as many questions as possible and trust you gut instinct and you will be just fine.
    I am personally against open listing and i think it can only work against you not for you. Best wishes.

    HI,

    Unlike Australia it is the norm to list with more than one agent in NZ unless you are going to do an “exclusive” deal with one agent that is going to give you a discount.

    I was recenly in NZ for three weeks and saw houses with 4 or 5 signs outside, those houses had been on the market for a while though and people are trying to cash in from the latest property boom there.

    It’s not uncommon to choose two or three agents, but the best idea is to talk to them all and get a good “feel” for them, if you feel you can trust them with the total value of your property then let them list your property.

    The other option is listing it on trademe.co.nz yourself, or one of the private sale companies in NZ, but only if you are close to the property as there are no agents involved.

    Hope this helps!
