Sotheby’s International Realty ® in New Zealand

Established in 1976, Sotheby’s International Realty® has become the world’s leading premium residential real estate brokerage.

Many people will also associate our name with its prestigious foundation brand, the centuries-old Sotheby’s which remains the pre-eminent fine art, wine and luxury goods international auction house.

The illustrious Sotheby’s cachet gives you the best-in-class exposure you deserve and assures buyers they are working with a globally-trusted partner.

Harris and Julian Brown established New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty (NZSIR) in 2005. They opened the first office in Queenstown and have since developed a network of offices across the country.

At New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty, the word ‘premium’ isn’t just about value, it’s about your experience. Whatever the location, style or view of your property, we will present it to the market better than any other agency can, giving you every opportunity to achieve a premium selling price.

Superior data drives exceptional results

The backbone of a successful agency is the quality and depth of its database. The more quality clients you have the more enquiry and interest can be generated in a property, which drives up the end value.

At NZSIR we have been building our database since 2003 to what is now over 200,000 high quality clientele from around New Zealand, Australia and the world.

A CULTURE OF COLLABORATIVE TEAM WORK

With over 240 agents operating nationwide, including many of the country’s most experienced top performers, you have the benefit of your property being exposed to each of these agent’s database contacts. This directly assists in driving more buyers to your property. More buyers competing for your property leads to the best possible sales outcome - your benefit from choosing a high performing team of collaborative experts.

This combination of an industry leading database, a team of exceptional professionals, and the world’s best real estate marketing and referral network, is why we have set the most residential records across New Zealand.

CLIENT DATABASE

Truly global

OUR CONNECTIONS ARE YOUR ADVANTAGE

Existing high net worth international clients in New Zealand are often referring us to friends, colleagues and family offices around the world. The relationships these high net worth individuals have with each other is built on trust, discretion and effectiveness. Our colleagues in San Francisco, New York and London deal with some of the wealthiest people in the world and when those clients are interested in New Zealand, they are referred directly to New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty.

New Zealand property returns to global

For the first time in years, New Zealand’s property market is open to a broader pool of international buyers. Changes to the Active Investor Plus visa are bringing high-net-worth individuals not just to invest, but to put down roots — and for many, that means owning property here.

POSITIONING YOUR HOME TO TAKE ADVANTAGE

At New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty, we are already working with AIP-qualified buyers, both locally and through our global network, who are actively seeking to purchase property in this market. For properties above $5 million, we can connect you directly with this audience. These are motivated, well-resourced individuals with both the intent and the means to move.

THE NUMBERS BEHIND THE OPPORTUNITY

New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty is part of a global network spanning 26,000 agents across 86 countries, with NZD $11.8 billion transacted through referrals in 2025 alone. Our clients are high-networth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals who have long-standing relationships with our brand and its people.

BEYOND THE AIP THRESHOLD

International demand extends well beyond AIP eligibility. Australian and Singaporean buyers can purchase freely in New Zealand, and expat New Zealanders remain a highly active segment of the market. These audiences are already engaged with our agents, both locally and globally.

FOR YOU, OUR ADVANTAGE IS CLEAR.

Wherever the right buyer is, here or offshore, we know how to reach them, and how to position your home to capture their attention.

Your buyer could be anywhere

REACHING HIGH-NET-WORTH BUYERS ACROSS THE GLOBE

With the power of the Sotheby’s International Realty® network, we connect New Zealand’s finest properties with buyers from around the world – delivering exceptional results. Our global marketing platform ensures your property is seen by discerning buyers in key international markets, maximising exposure and achieving premium outcomes.
