FAQ For Real Estate Agents
Why does pre-approved.com.au save me money?
Advertising and marketing your listings is a significant cost, but now you can search a database of buyers who have finance pre-approval to see if you can match your listing to one of our ready-to-buy clients. By searching the listings first you can increase your chances of securing a sale without having to spend thousands on advertising.
How can this site save me time?
By eliminating the possibility of your sales contract falling over due to finance, you will know that you are dealing with buyers who are ready to go and are pre-approved for finance up to a specific limit.
Can anyone list on www.pre-approved.com.au?
No. Our listings are supplied by the financier or broker in order to maintain the quality of listings. All listings have genuine finance approval up to a specific limit, which although is not divulged, is reflected in the potential buyer's purchase price range.
Can I market several properties to the one client listed on pre-approved.com.au?
Only if they match the buyer's search criteria. The client can choose to respond or not so there is little point in sending a listing that does not meet all or most of the buyer's criteria.
If I can't guarantee that the client will buy my property, why would I purchase the lead?
Considering the quality and cost per lead in relation to other lead generation and marketing techniques, pre-approved.com.au leads offer excellent value for money, and almost entirely eliminate the chances of a contract falling over due to finance. Thanks to the low cost of pre-approved.com.au, when one of your leads converts into a sale, you will have saved thousands of dollars, plenty of time and gained your seller a fast and secure sale.
How do I get first pick of new leads?
Once you've signed up as a member, you may elect to have new listings in your area automatically e-mailed to you as soon as they become available, by setting up a 'watchlist' in your areas of interest.
Are the leads sold to more than one agent at a time?
In order to provide the buyer with exposure to a wide range of suitable properties, leads are made available to any agent with potential matching listings. Success in converting leads to contract stage will depend not only on the suitability of the property/s being marketed, but also on the professionalism and impression created by you, the agent, on the buyer.
Are there any obligations on my part after buying a lead?
Should the lead convert to an actual settlement, we ask that you pay the lender/broker a one-off Referral Fee of $200 + GST. This amount can be amended based on a mutual agreement between yourself and the lender/broker. This payment is made directly to the lender/broker as a "spotter's fee" and an appropriate invoice will be given to you on receipt of the payment. See Terms of Use for more information.
Does the maximum purchase price range of the buyer represent the actual amount of the finance approval?
Buyers may choose to keep their maximum buying capacity confidential, therefore the amount stipulated as their 'price range' will not necessarily reflect the actual amount of the finance approval.
