Great Place To Work® (GPTW), the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and leadership, has recognised realestate.co.nz as one of New Zealand’s employers of choice for the second year running.

The re-certification is based entirely on current employee feedback, and this year 95% of the employees surveyed agreed with the statement, “Taking everything into account, I would say this is a great place to work.”

realestate.co.nz was named the Best Small Workplace in New Zealand last year, and this re-certification sees the company in contention for the 2026 title.

Sarah Wood, CEO of realestate.co.nz, says the certification reflects realestate.co.nz’s core values and internal culture.

“People are at the heart of everything we do at realestate.co.nz, so it’s extremely satisfying to receive real-time feedback from our team that shows we are hitting the mark and creating an environment where people want to be.” 

“It’s an achievement that requires consistent and intentional dedication to employee experience every day.” 

Some of the things that make realestate.co.nz a truly great place to work: 

• Ten additional days of leave per year for people to use as they wish – whether it be ‘life admin’, extra rest, or to spend time with loved ones.  
• Fully subsidised health insurance to support physical and mental wellbeing - a cornerstone of the company’s values. 
• Individual learning and development budgets empower people to pursue growth opportunities, attend conferences, or upskill in areas that matter to them. 
• An annual $20,000 scholarship to support advanced study, work-related passion projects, or transformative development experiences. It’s a way of investing in the team’s big ideas and bold ambitions. 
• Team connection opportunities, including exciting company-wide events every quarter
