How does ListBetter generate buyer leads?
Buyers complete a structured brief covering budget, timeline, suburbs, property type, and lifestyle priorities — before any buyer's agent sees them.
Incomplete briefs aren't passed through, so the leads you receive are pre-qualified and intent-verified.
We then match each buyer with a small group of buyer's agents whose track record fits their requirements.
What does it cost to be on ListBetter as a buyer's agent?
Zero upfront cost. No monthly fees. No per-lead pricing.
We charge a fixed referral fee from your engaged retainer or successful purchase fee — paid only after the buyer engages or settles.
If a buyer doesn't proceed, you pay nothing.
Are buyer briefs exclusive to one buyer's agent?
We invite a small shortlist of buyer's agents per brief — usually 2 to 3 — so buyers can compare approach, fees, and fit.
This keeps the experience competitive without flooding briefs across the entire market.
Many buyers ultimately engage a single agent within days of the introductions.
How are buyer's agents matched to a brief?
We match based on geographic specialisation, property-type expertise, recent buyer-side experience, and buyer-rated outcomes.
Agents with verified credentials, an REBAA membership, and consistent five-star reviews tend to surface more often.
Capacity is also weighted — we prioritise agents who can give each engagement proper attention.
How do I manage shortlists, schedules, and offers?
Your buyer's agent dashboard centralises every active engagement: brief details, properties shortlisted, inspection schedules, offers in progress, and contract status.
All buyer comms happen through the platform, but you control direct contact and meeting times.
Notifications keep you on top of new instructions or buyer feedback.
How do payouts and billing work?
After a buyer engages on a retainer or completes a purchase, your office is invoiced for the referral fee — a fixed percentage of the engagement or success fee.
Standard 30-day payment terms apply, with a single tax invoice per transaction.
Nothing is owed if a buyer doesn't engage.
Can I pause new briefs or leave at any time?
Yes. There's no contract or minimum term.
Pause new briefs anytime via your dashboard, or remove your profile entirely.
Active engagements continue under the standard terms.
Built for Buyer's Agents
Why our model works for buyer's agents
Most lead platforms throw mass enquiry at buyer's agents and charge per click whether the lead converts or not. We work the other way — pre-qualified buyer briefs, a small competitive shortlist, and zero cost until a buyer actually engages or settles.
Verified Briefs
Every buyer completes a structured brief — budget, suburbs, criteria, timing.
Competitive Shortlists
2-3 buyer's agents per brief — competitive, but not a mass auction.
Pay on Engagement
Referral fee charged only after the buyer engages or settles.
