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.

"Previously bought a house with Total and Russell lives local. Russell was very accommodating and a good communicator, I knew what was happening all the way through the sale."

"Proactive agent staged, managed solar and secured our sale. We had an excellent experience working with Steph. Steph supplied professional staging that presented the home beautifully and made a real difference in attracting buyers. Steph worked incredibly hard to navigate the added complexity of the solar component and handled it with confidence and expertise. On top of that, Steph managed the uncertainty surrounding our pending subdivision with clear communication and steady guidance throughout the process. Despite the challenges, Steph secured a sale and enabled us to move forward with our plans. An excellent job all around — we couldn’t be happier with the outcome."

"Steph needs more than a 5 Star Rating! When choosing an agent we went for a lucky dip and sure hit the Jackpot with Steph. From the first meeting and throughout the whole process, she made, what can be a stressful time, seem like a walk in the park. She more than impressed us with her industry knowledge and guidance and was thoroughly professional throughout the whole process. We also enjoyed her lovely manner and great sense of humour. Because of her dynamic personal and professional nature, she managed to sell our home in just 13 days, and before the scheduled auction, which was such a bonus for us, as we were moving countries. We cannot praise Steph enough, she was such a pleasure to deal with and achieved a great result for us. If you are looking for an incredible agent, look no further than Steph. You will not be disappointed!"
