What we aren't
Why Independent Agent?
You’ve spent your career in real estate building the name, brand, skills, network and reputation to not only generate deals but enjoy doing it. The problem is, that you’re in an office that is engineered to account for the average (the mean).
This means systems, structures, restrictions and processes made to account for under-performers as well as over-performers.
What it doesn’t account for, is the fact that you already know what you’re doing. You already know what does and doesn’t work in your market. And you already know how to manage your own life.
The worst part - is that your office is charging you a high % for the pleasure of being micro managed. Independent agent is a robust infrastructure that handles all the boring shit whilst providing a stable platform for you to do real restate your way.
Join us today and escape the brand police, office politics and babysitting you’ve grown to hate.
Your name is generating your business - you should control it.
Don’t just take our word for it, here’s what our clients are saying
Being able to do Real Estate without limitations. Having the freedom to sell anywhere & no franchised farm areas. The biggest plus is being in a private office with just the two of us at LUXE and being able to talk in confidence about our work and what is going on & not have to worry about someone poaching clients/business.

What agents like you are saying
I’ve just won listing 23 Snapper Rd over Bayleys as they liked my approach and local knowledge. This was more important to them a brand. They said “it makes sense to list with you, you know the area and have buyers for here.”

I can use whatever suppliers I wish and therefore keep up the quality of the marketing I have worked so hard to get a reputation for whilst being cost competitive. This helps me get to the point more candidly with vendors and buyers in a bid to help them achieve success.
Loren
Mangawhai , NZ
I feel at liberty to speak more freely than potentially within an agency.
I like the fact that it was called 'Independent Agent' - I felt that actually gave some credit to me as having enough experience to be just that, and not having to have a big brand to hold my hand.
Katie
Wellsford , NZ
I had worked for 4 of the big brands over a 15 year period
I had trust in Matt. I thought (& think) his vision is very unselfish and for us... I think the big large real estate companies are actually old fashioned now and better look out for more of this!
Sharene

You don't have a pecking order... a bosses favourite.
No more working with people who are time wasters, no wasted time with training the untrainable, ridiculously long sales meetings and on-duty work rosters within an office.
Debbie

Fantastic support with excellent systems in place.
Sharene and I strive to be different and be 20% better than the rest and being with Independent Agent allowed us to re-write the rule book and really elevate our business to offer and elevate the service we are so greatly known for.
