Guiding Global Buyers
to Exceptional
New Zealand Homes

WELCOME TO NEW ZEALAND.

An Invitation to Live Beautifully

To own a home in New Zealand is to join a rare circle of people who value beauty, space, and a life lived with intention.

Here, modern design and wild landscapes meet in quiet harmony.

From grand traditional homes in Auckland to sculptural architecture among native bush, from oceanfront sanctuaries and vineyard estates to alpine retreats in the South Island, these homes offer privacy, authenticity, and quiet beauty.

Each residence balances nature with thoughtful design.

We help overseas buyers find exceptional homes crafted with quality, set in beautiful locations, and built to stand the test of time.

This is more than a purchase, it is a pathway to belonging.

Frequently Asked Questions

What services can a buyer's agent provide?

A buyer’s agent or advocate can help find and negotiate the purchase of properties, whether through auction or private sale. They can conduct due diligence, arrange building inspections, develop a negotiation strategy, and bid on your behalf at auction.

Do you work with both local and international buyers?

Yes - we assist New Zealand–based buyers as well as overseas clients seeking to purchase property in New Zealand. For international buyers, we work alongside legal and financial specialists to ensure the process is compliant with all regulations.

Do overseas buyers need permission to purchase property in New Zealand?

Overseas buyers usually need consent from the Overseas Investment Office (OIO) to purchase residential property in New Zealand, with exceptions for certain new developments or holders of NZ residency. We can assist you in gaining the necessary consent.

Can you help me find off-market opportunities?

We have strong relationships with agents, developers, and private sellers, providing our clients access to off-market properties, including design-led and premium homes that often change hands discreetly.

What areas of New Zealand do you work in?

Our primary focus is Auckland, New Zealand’s largest city. However, we also provide the same level of service across the country through our trusted partner networks.

I’m not ready to buy immediately - can we still talk?

Many clients start the process months before buying. We’re happy to discuss your goals and create a clear timeline to ensure you’re ready when the right property appears.

What are the fees involved to use a buyer's agent?

Our fee structure depends on the level of service required. Typically, this is a fixed fee or a percentage of the purchase price, agreed upon at the outset.
