What you’d save vs the big agencies
Most big-brand agencies charge a higher commission and bill you around $2,500 for marketing up front — money you pay whether or not your home sells. Based on their typical published rates, here’s roughly how a Whangārei sale at the median compares:
| Agency | Approx. total* | You’d save |
|---|---|---|
| Megan Hetges (Arizto) | $18,891 | — |
| Barfoot & Thompson | $26,172 | ~$7,281 |
| Ray White | $26,920 | ~$8,028 |
| Harcourts | $28,990 | ~$10,098 |
| Bayleys | $31,232 | ~$12,341 |
That’s roughly $7,000–$12,000 more with a big brand on a median Whangārei sale — and up to ~$2,500 of theirs is payable before your home even sells. With Megan, it’s $0 upfront.
No sale, no fee — the risk sits with us
If your Whangārei home doesn’t sell, there’s nothing to pay — not the commission, not the admin, not the marketing. And “$0 upfront” doesn’t mean cutting corners: your home still gets the full Platinum campaign — pro photography, drone video and premium listings on Trade Me, OneRoof, realestate.co.nz, Homes.co.nz and Hougarden.
