OpenKey is the marketing service that makes selling your own home easy — professional photography, your listing on Trade Me, realestate.co.nz & Open Locally, a for-sale sign, open-home hosting, an AI-powered open-home bot and a live enquiry dashboard. No agent, no commission — just one flat fee. You stay in control; your solicitor handles the contract, exactly as always.
A typical New Zealand agent charges around 3.95% on the first $400,000 + 2% on the rest, plus GST. On an $800,000 sale that's roughly $25,000 — gone, before you've paid your lawyer. OpenKey is a flat fee instead.
One flat fee — not a percentage of your home. Keep the rest of the commission in your own pocket.
OpenKey undercuts the main NZ DIY service at every level of help.
Every decision is yours — you set the price, read every offer, and say yes. We never negotiate or accept on your behalf.
We do the legwork and keep it all in one tidy dashboard. You make every call that matters.
HDR photography, a sharp listing, and syndication onto Trade Me, realestate.co.nz and homes.co.nz — plus a quality for-sale sign at your gate. The same shopfront a buyer sees from any agent.
Host your own open homes, or have us host every one for you. Either way, enquiries and offers land in one dashboard, filtered and ready. We host — we never sell or negotiate on your behalf.
You read the offers, pick your buyer and say yes. Your own solicitor handles the sale & purchase agreement and settlement, exactly as they would on any sale.
One price covers the whole campaign. Conveyancing is the only thing handled outside OpenKey — by your own solicitor, the same as every house sale.
A professional photographer shoots your home so it shows at its best across every portal.
Live on Trade Me, realestate.co.nz, homes.co.nz — and your local Open Locally buyer audience — through a proper listing backbone.
A quality sign at your gate — the single biggest source of local buyer interest.
A dedicated page for your home you can share anywhere — social, email, word of mouth.
Every enquiry, viewing and written offer in one clear place, filtered and ready for your decision.
On Full Service and Premium we open the door and register every visitor. We host — we don't sell or negotiate.
This is the part an agent can't hand you. Every listing comes with our software — the bit that makes selling your own home feel effortless and professional, not a second job.
Every buyer who scans your sign or QR talks to this — and every question, viewing and offer lands in your dashboard.
Buyers scan a QR at your open home or on your sign. Our AI assistant greets them, answers questions about your home, and captures who they are and what they're after — so you've always got a smart assistant with you on the journey, never doing it all on your own.
Every enquiry, viewing and offer in one place — who's interested, what they asked, what they offered. Your whole campaign at a glance, on any device.
Get a message the second a buyer registers at an open home or makes an offer — on Telegram and in your dashboard. Offers come straight to you to consider; we never negotiate on your behalf.

"OpenKey is a property marketer and owner-assisted selling platform, not a licensed real estate agent. You stay the owner and make every decision — we handle the photos, the listing, the open homes and the admin, but we never negotiate or accept offers on your behalf. Your solicitor handles the contract. That's how you keep the agent's commission in your pocket — legally."
Owners selling their own property have never needed a licence in New Zealand. That's exactly what you're doing.
Under the REAA 2008, providing a marketing and listing platform isn't licensed real estate work. Only acting "on behalf of" you to bring about the sale is — and we never do that.
The sale & purchase agreement and settlement go through your own solicitor's trust account, exactly as on any sale. Money never touches OpenKey.
Selling a rental, or keeping it to rent out? The Healthy Homes Standards cover heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture & drainage and draught-stopping. Our free checker tells you where you stand in two minutes.
Light-touch, assisted self-management — you stay in charge. We get it listed on Trade Me & realestate.co.nz, run referencing and the tenancy agreement, keep your Healthy Homes obligations on track, and put rent, inspections and compliance in one dashboard. A flat fee, never a percentage — far below an NZ property manager's ~7–9% + GST.
