Purchasing a Property

New Zealand Real Estate


New Zealand property, even in the region including our largest city and its environs, is excitingly varied. Within half an hour’s drive from the CBD, along the radiating motorway arms, you can reach white and black sand beaches, farming and vineyard country, heavy and light industrial belts, and suburbs ranging from those with million dollar mansions to those with cheapie starter homes.

Reid Yacht Services are available to:

Take all the leg work and guesswork
Out of buying......


Our inside knowledge of the New Zealand real estate market and expert negotiation skills can save you many hours and thousands of dollars!

We can help you with everything from finding the right home, to researching, negotiating and bidding at auction.

Reid Yacht Services allows you to counter the most fundamental failing of the New Zealand property market;
that it is biased against purchasers. While most real estate agents offer an excellent service as the sole "brokers" through which property is bought and sold; buyers must be aware that their sole function is to achieve the highest price possible for the party that pays their fees - the seller.

Any large financial decision should be based on facts and expert analysis – the same principles should be applied to purchasing property. New Zealand home buyers, who in most cases are making the biggest financial investment of their lives, are mostly left to fend for themselves, often assuming that the real estate agent is working and negotiating on their behalf. The buying process can be even more complex if you are new to New Zealand and are unfamiliar with the local property market.


Reid Yacht Services objective is to ensure that the buyer secures the perfect property for the lowest price, in the shortest amount of time, with the minimum amount of fuss.

Selling a Property

We know that the sale of your home will involve some inconvenience. However, it is important to attract as many qualified buyers as possible and with just a little effort on our part, your property can be sold quicker, and for a better price. The objective is to make your home as appealing and as uncluttered as the property you would wish to buy.
Reid Yacht Services are able to find the right agent for you to sell your property through & negotiate on agency fees & marketing costs on your behalf. We can arrange a Valuation from a registered Valuer, we can ask for submissions from the various Real Estate Companies, and we can offer a record of sales in your suburb over the previous 12 months to give us an even better feel for what the market is doing & how much your house is really worth.
