Co-Founder of Lendi Group, Sebastian Watkins, said they built Aussie for Agents with a simple idea – better outcomes for customers and agents.
“Because Aussie is already helping so many Australians with their home buying journey every month, we don’t need to make money from listings,” Mr Watkins said.
“Our model will be VPA free forever.”
The launch marks a major step forward in Aussie’s transformation from mortgage broking into a fully integrated property ecosystem, supporting Australians to Find, Buy and Own property.
“Our move to a property ecosystem is about bringing that same fair go approach to searching and buying,” he said.
“It’s a powerful step-change.
“A key part of this strategy is delivering a powerful search experience*, which we’re launching next quarter, allowing customers to search for listings or explore millions of properties with rich data and insights in our property hub.”
Built specifically to support agents, buyers and vendors alike, Aussie for Agents oUers unlimited free listings across oU-market, pre-market and on-market properties, including auctions – with no vendor-paid advertising (VPA) costs.
General Manager of Agent Services, Rhett Dallwitz, who has joined the business from Listing Loop, adds that Aussie’s scale – as one of Australia’s largest mortgage originators – means agents can tap directly into a highly engaged audience with an established brand.
“We’ve built Aussie for Agents from the ground up to help agents earn more and customers pay less,” Mr Dallwitz said.
“Our focus is on giving agents a competitive edge: quality vendor and buyer opportunities, powerful listing exposure, and a genuine alternative to traditional advertising without the hefty price tag.”
Key benefits of Aussie for Agents include:
• Aussie brand: One of Australia’s most recognised brands, and #1 retail mortgage broker
• Unlimited free listings: OU-market, pre-market, and on-market including auctions
• No VPA costs: Delivering better outcomes for vendors with access to free advertising
• Millions of active buyers and motivated sellers: Powered by Aussie’s growing customer base
• Prioritised vendor opportunities: Connecting agents with high-intent prospects
• Optional home loan partnerships: Unlock new revenue streams
Agents will also have the opportunity to partner with Aussie through integrated referral and white-label home loan solutions, creating new ways to maximise their business earnings.
“We’re inviting agents across Australia to join us in building a better, more transparent, and more profitable real estate experience,” Mr Dallwitz said.
“Our platform is open to all agents across Australia with no requirement to partner with Aussie for home loans.
“Together, we can help more Australians buy and sell property and put more money back in the pockets of both customers and agents.”
Over time, Aussie’s 220 retail stores will also evolve to become “property hubs” which will integrate core mortgage broker expertise with property search, and services to support buying and selling.
