Since the May 2026 budget it's been a buyer's market. Across all agencies in the suburbs we work in, 37% of sale campaigns that ended in the last three months were withdrawn, not sold. Here's how Pikelet performs.

“Kaitlyn is a tech founder and AI expert who became a real estate agent. Operates at a super-human pace, a pace the rest of the industry hasn’t caught up to and probably won’t. Every step was methodical, well explained, and I never found myself needing to ask a question that hadn’t already been covered.”
Amy de Groot · Agency Client · Gold Coast, 2026
Kaitlyn Sapier
Licensed agent, runs your sale
I look after your sale from listing to negotiation. Before Pikelet I spent ten years in technology sales and founded a real estate technology company.
How is this different to a normal real estate agency?
It feels like working with any good agency: we set the price with you, run the listing and the open homes, negotiate and handle the paperwork. You pay one flat fee of $13,000 including GST instead of a percentage. On a $1m sale a traditional agency takes around $35,920 in commission and marketing.
What does the fee actually cover?
$13,000 covers photos, drone shots, floor plan, write-up, signboard, your realestate.com.au and Domain listings, a weekly open home on Saturdays and unlimited private inspections for up to 90 days, the negotiation and the paperwork. You pay $4,000 when you sign and $9,000 at settlement.
Can I upgrade my listing?
Yes, at cost: you pay what realestate.com.au or Domain charge us, nothing more. We don't recommend it, though. Our standard and upgraded listings have sold for the same results, so we'd rather you kept the money.
Who runs the inspections and the negotiation?
Kaitlyn Sapier, our licensed agent (QLD Licence No. 4947207). She runs the open homes and private inspections, presents every offer to you in writing and negotiates on your behalf. Software handles the admin around her.
What's in the free property report?
Recent sales, automated estimates from Cotality, property.com.au and Domain, and buyer demand for your home, each figure attributed to its source. Enter your address and we text you a private link, within 8 hours and usually much sooner. No obligation to list and no cold calls.
Can you sell a tenanted home?
Yes. Your property manager arranges access with your tenants. Open homes need your tenants' written agreement. Otherwise buyers see the home at private inspections with 24 hours' notice.Sources: RTA: rules of entry
Which areas and homes do you cover?
Brisbane, Logan, Gold Coast and Ipswich: houses, townhouses, units and duplexes. Enter your address to check. Email us at hello@pikelet.com.au if you're outside those areas and we'll see what we can do.
When is Pikelet not the right fit?
Every home gets the same campaign, so check it suits you. We don't run auctions, video or print campaigns. Open homes are on Saturdays, with private inspections by appointment on other days. We don't organise trades, cleaning or furniture. If you're not sure, call or text us on 0485 068 550 and we'll talk it through.
