ONE AGENCY’s New Zealand tour delivers tangible benefits for sellers, landlords and tenants

ONE AGENCY’s Global Head of Membership, Mindy Powell-Hodges, has just wrapped up a nationwide tour of New Zealand — and while the focus was on expanding and strengthening the network, the biggest impact is being felt by property owners, investors, tenants and prospective buyers.

From faster listing times and smarter marketing to stronger service standards across both sales and property management, the tour set the stage for a better experience at every step of the real estate journey.

Faster to Market with ONE PLACECentral to the tour was ONE PLACE, ONE AGENCY’s exclusive marketing and resource platform that empowers agents and property managers to launch listings — both sales and rentals — more efficiently than ever.

For vendors and landlords, this means faster turnaround from appraisal to live listing. In today’s market, that speed can be the difference between a missed opportunity and a premium result.

“ONE PLACE allows our members to act swiftly and professionally, without compromising on quality,” said Powell-Hodges. “Whether it’s a home for sale or a rental hitting the market, we’re helping agents deliver campaigns that are sharp, consistent and impactful from day one.”

Maximum Exposure from the StartWith immediate access to professionally designed marketing tools, agents can launch listings that attract attention — fast. That increased exposure means more eyes on your property, more enquiries, and ultimately, better results.

For landlords, this can mean reduced vacancy rates and stronger tenant applications.

For sellers, it translates to fewer days on market and the potential to secure a higher sale price.

A Smarter, More Professional Property ExperiencePowell-Hodges’ tour included stops in Auckland, Wellington, Tauranga, Christchurch and Queenstown, where she worked directly with ONE AGENCY members to refine their client offering across both sales and rentals.

Training sessions focused on customer service, technology adoption, and leveraging national support to deliver consistent local outcomes.

“Whether you’re renting out an investment or preparing to sell your family home, your agent should bring more than just local knowledge — they should bring structure, support and a strategy,” she said.

What It Means for Property Owners and RentersFor landlords, the improved systems and processes mean quicker advertising, stronger tenant selection, and proactive communication throughout the tenancy.

For tenants, the benefits include better-managed properties, faster response times and more professional service.

Sellers can expect a more efficient campaign process, better marketing reach, and a network of agents who are supported to perform at the highest standard.

A Network That Works for You

ONE AGENCY’s model is built on independence — giving agents the freedom to make decisions that serve their clients best.

Powell-Hodges’ tour reinforced that ethos while ensuring members are backed by the tools, training and technology to consistently deliver exceptional service.

At the end of the day, it’s not just about growing the network — it’s about making real estate better for every person involved.
