Barfoot & Thompson

A non-franchised Auckland and Northland real estate company with a published commission calculator and recorded residential, unit-title and rural fee structures.

Decision principle

Use the company context to improve your questions; choose the individual agent and complete written proposal on their evidence.

Fee information: Residential and unit-title: 3.95% on the first $300,000, then 2%; rural and lifestyle: 3.95% on the first $400,000, then 2%. A minimum of $11,000 and GST apply; the recorded structure has no administration fee. Marketing is separate.
Evidence status: Published structure verified
New Zealand footprint: The official seller material is centred on Auckland and Northland. The fee structure should not be treated as available outside that footprint.
Before signing: Confirm the applicable fee, GST, administration, marketing, services and agreement terms for the specific office and agent.

Seller considerations

Confirm the property classification and tier threshold in the written agency proposal.
Ask for the complete marketing and auction-cost schedule separately.
Use the location-aware calculator and confirm the residential or rural/lifestyle classification in the written proposal.

How to use this profile

Confirm that any published structure applies to the specific office, agent, property and agreement. Ask for every commission, GST, administration, marketing and optional cost in writing.
