How we're different

Pikelet vs traditional agents

Same licence, same websites, same open homes, same negotiation. The difference is what you pay for it, and when.

  • Priced from the evidence

    We price from the recent sales nearby, and share your property with 30+ local buyer's agents for potential off market offers.

  • About a third of the cost

    $13,000 flat, including GST. On a $1m sale, a typical Queensland agency takes about $35,920 in commission and marketing. The gap grows with your price.

  • You see everything

    Every written offer as it arrives and a summary after each inspection.
