TVNZ’s Seven Sharp is welcoming realestate.co.nz as its new show sponsor, bringing together two New Zealand favourites with a shared passion for the people, places and communities that make Aotearoa such a remarkable place to call home.

Airing weeknights at 7pm on TVNZ 1 and TVNZ+, Seven Sharp has long been hot property with audiences. The programme reaches around 620,000 viewers each day on TVNZ 1 (AP 5+) and continues to build its audience on TVNZ+, with 1.2 million streams in the past year.*

Its winning formula is simple: Seven Sharp tells the stories of everyday New Zealanders, the people doing good things, clever things and quietly extraordinary things in their own backyards. That local connection is why viewers stay loyal to the programme, from the top of the North Island to the deep south.

Many of the programme’s stories start where life unfolds every day, in homes, neighbourhoods, farms, and small towns across the country. This makes realestate.co.nz a natural fit, helping Kiwis discover the places and properties that will shape their next chapter.

realestate.co.nz is New Zealand’s longest-running property website and the official website of the real estate industry, with a legacy of innovation dating back to 1996 when it became the first to bring property listings online in New Zealand. Today, it exists to make the journey of buying, selling, renting or leasing property easier and more enjoyable.

TVNZ’s Chief Revenue Officer, Valerie Walshe, says:

“Seven Sharp celebrates the stories, people and communities that shape how we live, so realestate.co.nz feels like the right housemate. There’s a natural fit between a programme that connects with New Zealanders right across the country and a brand that helps them find their place in it.”

realestate.co.nz CEO, Sarah Wood, says it’s exciting to be part of Kiwis’ living rooms each night through Seven Sharp.

“Property is something so many New Zealanders are interested in, whether they’re actively looking for their next home or simply keeping an eye on the market. This partnership gives us another way to stay close to those conversations and be there when people are ready to start their property search.”

realestate.co.nz’s media agency, OMD New Zealand, proudly supported both partners in developing this collaboration.

Rachel Stewart, Managing Director at OMD New Zealand, says the partnership is designed to deliver more than visibility.

“By aligning realestate.co.nz with one of New Zealand's most trusted programmes, we've established a platform where realestate.co.nz can contribute genuine value through insights, expertise and storytelling. The result is a sponsorship designed to deepen audience connection, strengthen brand consideration and reinforce realestate.co.nz as the trusted starting point for every property journey.”

The partnership will be brought to life on screen through refreshed graphics, titles and an updated look and feel for the show, giving the long-running favourite a fresh lick of paint while keeping the storytelling Kiwis know and love firmly at its heart.
