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.

  • A better price

    We test your price off-market with 50+ buyer's agents before you list, so you launch at the number the market will actually pay, not a guess.

  • A third of the cost

    $13,000 flat, including GST and the top realestate.com.au listing. A percentage agent on a $1m sale takes about $35,920.

  • Nothing up front

    Traditional agents bill for marketing before anyone knows what your home is worth. With Pikelet you only pay to go live once the off-market test says the price is right.

  • You see everything

    Every enquiry, open-home visitor and offer is shown to you the moment it lands. No waiting for the Monday phone call.
