I recently bought my first house in the greater Wellington area, so have spent the last four or so months dealing with real estate agents. I think anything to reduce their influence is probably going to be popular. The fixed commission is probably a good move as it makes you look more neutral, unlike agents who wants the highest sale price possible.

From a buyer's point of view the biggest problem with the site is the low number of listings, but I imagine that will grow with time. Best of luck.

Thanks - here's hoping they'll accelerate in the new year!
