A Long History Of Innovation
Established before Google, realestate.co.nz is New Zealand’s longest-standing property website and the official website of the real estate industry. Dedicated only to property, our mission is to empower people with a property search tool they can use to find the life they want to live. As for our team, we’re a tech company that lives and breathes property. We’re always looking for new ways to make the journey of buying, renting or leasing property easier and more enjoyable.
On the flip side, if you have a house, rural property, commercial building or business to sell or rent, we have every real estate brand in New Zealand on our site, and a dedicated audience of property seekers. Our vision is for New Zealanders to always have a valuable place where they can buy and sell properties online.
The next twelve months were spent developing and sharing the idea and in August 1996 (two years before Google launched), www.RealENZ.co.nz was live.
The site was originally a 50/50 joint venture between REINZ and the Auckland Multiple Listed Bureau. In 2005, PPL (Property Page Limited) made up of real estate agencies Bayleys, Barfoot & Thompson, Ray White, Harcourts, and LJ Hooker joined the shareholding. The company was changed to realestate.co.nz, the name we know and love today.
