What does Private Buyers do?
Private Buyers reviews privately submitted property information to decide whether a direct private-buyer or investor-review conversation is worth progressing. Read the service overview.
Does submitting details make my property public?
No. The first step is private, and submitting details through the website does not create a public listing. Read the privacy policy.
How fast is the property enquiry response?
Genuine detailed property enquiries receive a clear first response, follow-up question, or no-fit response within 48 hours. Open the enquiry form.
Are photos mandatory?
Photos are optional at the first step, but practical photos usually improve review quality and make an enquiry easier to prioritise. See the enquiry path.
Can I sell property privately in New Zealand before listing publicly?

Can I sell a property off-market in New Zealand?
You can start with an off-market private enquiry before public listing, provided you share enough detail for a serious buyer-fit review and have authority to share the information. Read the off-market guide.
Is a Private Buyers enquiry the same as an agency appraisal?
