We are Real Estate Agency that specialises in Residential Investment Property in New Zealand.

iFindProperty operates under the Real Estate Agents Act 2008 (AKA "REAA 2008") that governs all mainstream real estate agencies in New Zealand.

We started in 2005 in Rotorua, from there we have grown to cover most main centres and investment "hot spots" in New Zealand.

Here is a snapshot of our team, click through to see their individual profiles.

In short, we source residential investment properties for our clients.

Our team are known as "Property Finders" or "Buyers Agents" and they do just that. Each person in our team is a property expert and experienced investor in their local market and they bring all of that knowledge to the table when they work with you on a property purchase.

A Buyer's Agent represents you in a property transaction and has a fiduciary responsibility to work for your best outcome and to act in your best interest in all matters.

When you work with us you team up with a local and experienced investor in your target market, where you will leverage their knowledge, skill and networks to find an investment property that matches with your goals.

In almost all cases we will be paid by the buyer on a "success fee" basis, so once we land you a deal that meets your criteria. Our fiduciary responsibility is to represent you in the transaction.

There will be some properties where we are paid by the vendor (just like a regular real estate firm).

Irrespective of how we are paid as agents, we recommend you seek advice from independent industry professionals as part of your own due diligence.

We all had to start somewhere and we don't believe in talking you into a property purchase you might regret later.

When you contact us for the first time, we will offer to refer you to independent professionals to help you get your lending and structures arranged.

No. The advertised sale price includes our agency fee, to allow you to see the true yield and other numbers based on the total price you will pay.

Two main reasons; experience in the marketplace, and fostering good relationships with real estate agencies, property professionals and other investors over many years. As we have our “finger on the pulse” of the current market and are known to have a substantial database of active investors, we are often approached first by a seller. Many properties are not listed on the open market and often a seller has urgency to achieve a sale.

Just as with any other property purchase, it is essential that you obtain independent legal advice from your own solicitor before entering into any documentation to purchase. We can introduce an independent solicitor if you do not have one on your team already.

We want you to have all the information you require to enable you to make a fully informed decision, however for certain types of sales you may need to complete some due diligence before offering on a property. We are able to introduce professionals to provide crucial information; such as rental appraisals, council files, quotes for work required and building inspections.

Absolutely, we help many overseas New Zealanders invest and provide an end-to-end service.

Being remote can actually work in your favour because it allows you as a purchaser to focus more on the unbiased due diligence written information you obtain during due diligence, and make a sound business decision based purely on this information and your investing criteria.

This is a legal document which we request you to execute, giving us authority to act as your agent and stating that you agree to our fee.

A "Buyers Authority" is usually for a single property, while a Buyers Agency Agreement enables us to represent you in a wider capacity over a longer period through our Premium Buyer Service.

Please contact the agent immediately to confirm availability and what the steps from there are.

No. Our fees are modest given the time involved in locating suitable properties and the expertise that we bring in assisting our clients build an investment portfolio.

We aim to find and market investments that will earn back our fee many times over for our clients.

Not usually. We have already negotiated the price of the property with the seller as part of our analyzing it as a deal.
