Find an agent you trust, get the support you need

Welcome to OpenAgent. We've been around since 2013 and our vision is to make it easy for people to buy, sell and own property.

Selling a home is a big deal

And that is why this was the first problem we set out to solve. Let's face it, the home selling process can be stressful. On top of being busy, you might have pressure to sell quickly, be going through a difficult time, or even have property in another state. Every story is different, but we know that no matter what your home-selling journey looks like, we can help

Choosing an agent can sometimes feel like a lottery. We remove the guesswork by putting the powerful tools of knowledge, insight and choice in a vendor’s hands. And if doesn’t stop there if a vendor needs further advice on agents or how to negotiate commissions, they have an export voice in their corner. 

Find an agent you trust, get the support you need.

Where it all began

No one ever said that buying and selling property should be easy. But it’s much harder than it needs to be. Our founder Zoe experienced this first hand when she went through five property transactions in two years. She expected some obstacles, of course. But the complexities, red tap and barriers felt unnecessarily difficult and frustrating. 

However, with challenge comes opportunity. Zoe too the hard-earnt learnings of those two years (and a little of the frustration!) and turned them into a series of innovations. 

With five property transactions in two years alone, the business opportunity became glaringly obvious.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How is it free?

    Our service is 100% free for vendors.

    When a property is sold, the successful real estate agent pays OpenAgent a referral fee 20%-30% of the agent's commission. It enables us to offer our services at completely no cost to the homeowner.

    In order to give you the best outcome, it's important to us that all parties' interests are aligned. That is why we only get paid when the agent is paid once your house is sold.

  • Will the agent charge me more?

    No - when working with us, agents need to agree to our terms and conditions, which explicitly highlight that they cannot pass on the referral fee to the vendor (you).

  • What about agents I'm already talking to?

    If we recommend someone you already know, please tell us so we can recommend another agent. It's important to us that you have freedom of choice.

  • How do you choose what agents to work with

    We don’t work with every agent in Australia.

    While, all active real estate agents are considered and monitored. We use a combination of sales data, customer feedback and proprietary performance metrics to make sure the agents we have on our network are of quality.

    In addition, we can only work with agents who have agreed work with us. We do this to make sure agents we work with adhere to our high standards to ensure you get the best possible outcome.

    If an agent we want to recommend to you isn't currently working with OpenAgent, our team will give them a call and bring them on-board before we pass across your details. In the event they don't want to work with us and we can't find you a replacement, we will pass on their details to you and you can contact them directly.
