Your rate, your terms, what you'll do to market it. If the seller shortlists you, you get their details and you take it from there.

The old way

Forty-one leads last month. Nothing signed.

Stop chasing leads that were never going to convert.

You called it four times. It rang out four times. Two of the six were already under mandate. One was a student.

A homeowner who enquired and was never selling
  • “Definitely selling in the new year.”
  • “Just checking what it’s worth.”
  • “My brother-in-law’s an agent.”

Questions

Three things agents ask first.

The money
What does it cost?

Nothing at the moment. Kerb is free for agents during the founding period, and a proposal you send in it stays free, even when the home sells. We're leaning towards a share of commission, only when you're paid, and asking the agents using Kerb how to make it fair.

Do I have to discount my commission?

No. You compete on what you will do and what you have actually done. Plenty of proposals win at a higher rate than the one they beat.

When do I pay?

Not yet. A share of commission would be due when your commission is paid, usually on transfer, and nothing if the home doesn't sell. You'll hear at least 10 days before any fee starts.

The work
What if the seller already has a mandate?

They cannot list. We ask, and a seller under a sole mandate is stopped before publishing.

How many can I carry at a time?

As many as you like. If you want a cap, set how many proposals you can have with sellers at once, and change it whenever your week changes. New listings still reach you at your cap; you can propose again as soon as one is decided.

I run an office. Can my whole team join?

Yes. Apply as the principal with your FFC. Once we have verified you, you get your office page and a link to send your agents. Each of them applies with their own certificate.

Your data
What do sellers see about me?

Your profile and your proposal. Nothing you have not been shown yourself.

Can I stop the alerts?

Any time, any channel, and it takes effect immediately. Your account keeps working; you simply stop hearing from us.

Verified in a day. Bidding the same week.

That is all we need to start. No card, no contract, no lock-in.
