Why Some Christchurch Homeowners Are Skipping Real Estate Agents (and Pocketing More)
If you’ve ever tried to sell your Christchurch home through a real estate agent, you know it’s not always as easy (or cheap) as it sounds.
Between commission fees, marketing costs, open homes, and drawn-out contracts, it’s no wonder more Kiwi sellers — especially those with distressed or time-sensitive properties — are skipping the middleman and selling off-market instead.
At Kiwi Home Sellers, we’re seeing this trend grow fast in Christchurch and Canterbury. Here’s why homeowners are choosing to sell directly to us.
1. No Commission Fees When Selling Your Christchurch Home
Real estate agents typically take 2–4% of the sale price.
On a $600,000 home, that’s up to $24,000 — gone.
Selling privately off-market means you keep more of your equity, without paying thousands in agent fees.
2. Sell Your House Fast in Christchurch — No Open Homes, No Hassle
No prepping for weeks. No strangers walking through your home. No awkward buyer feedback.
We can view your property quickly and often make a fair cash offer within 24–48 hours, so you can move forward without delays.
3. Flexible Settlement Options for Any Situation
Need extra time to move out?
Got tenants in place, a property with damage, or half-finished renovations? No problem.
We buy houses in as-is condition and work with you to find a settlement date that suits your timeline.
4. Clear and Transparent House-Buying Process
No gimmicks. No fine print.
We make you an offer, explain exactly how we reached that figure, and if it works for you - great.
If not, there’s no pressure and no obligation.
Final Word: Your Christchurch House Sold, Your Way
