Selling, buying or renting in the capital — the agencies locals trust.

Wellington's tight, hill-bound housing market rewards specialist local knowledge — heritage cottages, leaky-building risk, weather-tightness, harbour views and earthquake-strengthening all matter. Our independent ranking covers the agencies and offices that consistently deliver for vendors and buyers across the CBD and suburbs.

Real Estate in Wellington — FAQ

Our current #1 pick is Tommy's Real Estate (Multiple Wellington offices). Wellington-born independent — biggest market share in the city, strong CBD and inner-suburb teams.

Editorially — a ranking position is never sold, and no business can pay to move up this list. (BestWellington does sell advertising: sponsor banners and partner cards are labelled "Sponsored", and any advertiser appearing in a list is labelled too — see our Advertise page.) We shortlist from each venue's public standing (its Google reviews and local press at the time we check it), then order the list on local knowledge and confirm every entry is still trading. We do not hold our own review scores, so we publish no star ratings; each entry links straight out to its real Google reviews so you can judge for yourself.

This guide ranks 10 real estate in Wellington, with the top 10 featured first. You can search and shortlist any of them, then open Google Maps, reviews or the business website directly.
