From Day One to Auction Success: Sam’s Story at City Sales

When new agents join a company, they often expect a slow start—months of learning, waiting, and hoping for that first break. But at City Sales, momentum builds fast.

Take Samantha, our newest team member. Just licensed at the end of July in 2025.

• Within 2 weeks: she had her first listing signed.

• By week 4: she’d secured her second listing.

• By week 6: she sold her very first auction under the hammer.

That’s not luck. That’s the power of the right environment and exactly on track for our typical 'new to real estate' team members. 
Moving forward we expect to see Samantha with 4 sales packed away by the 6 month mark (the average NZ Salesperson does just 4 sales a year...) and rolling from there to a comfortable 12 - 18+ sales a year.

At City Sales, we’re obsessed with getting our people into the market quickly and setting them up for real wins. The support, the systems, the leads, and the brand credibility—when combined with hard work—deliver results that agents elsewhere can only dream of.

Agents thrive here. But when people leave, the story changes.

• Agent 1: once a high performer with ~18 sales a year, moved after being headhunted. Within a short time, results collapsed. They even tried to return—but it was too late.

• Agent 2: steady at ~12 sales a year, left to take an assistant role. The role disappeared, along with their momentum.

• Agent 3: part-time, left for an assistant position elsewhere. That arrangement didn’t work out either.

• Agent 4: once achieving ~24 sales a year, has managed only ~5 in over two years since leaving.

The same pattern every time. Outside City Sales, the results just aren’t the same.

That’s because there is something special about this place. The culture, the systems, the energy—our people don’t just survive, they get traction fast. Sam’s early success is proof of that.

If you know you’re capable of more but aren’t getting the right support, maybe it’s time to ask yourself: what could you achieve here?

Sam’s story is proof: when you join City Sales, you don’t sit around waiting. You get traction. Fast.

If you’re a salesperson who knows you’re capable of more, the opportunity is here. Don’t waste another six months waiting for something to happen where you are.
