List your home free. See who's already looking.
A proper listing page, real exposure, yours to share — at no cost, because putting a property in front of the market is cheap to deliver. You only pay if you want to make the first move. Selling, or buying?
Free to list, free to be found, free to sell. $89 one-off, per property — only if you want to contact your matched buyers yourself.

Free, and always will be
What “free to list” actually gets you
Putting a property in front of the market is cheap to deliver. The industry charges a great deal for it anyway, and we don't think that gap is defensible — so on Yelsa it costs nothing. No fee, no commission, no time limit.
Your own property page
Photos, a full description, the details buyers ask for, and your open homes. It looks like a listing should look.
Found by real buyers
On the Yelsa marketplace for anyone to find, and matched against buyers who have already told us what they want.
Yours to share
Copy your listing to Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn in a couple of taps. The people who know your street are usually where the buyer comes from.
No “days on market”
We never show how long your home has been listed. One listed months ago looks exactly like one listed this morning, so nobody can use time against you.
Nobody can buy the top spot
Results are shuffled, so no property sits permanently first. Position is not for sale here, and paying changes nothing about where you appear.
Sell without paying us
Buyers can enquire, you can reply, negotiate and sell. That path is free and it stays free.

The only thing we charge for is making the first move: $89 one-off, per property, if you'd rather contact your matched buyers than wait for them to find you. Never needed to list, to be seen, or to sell.
How it works
Find your match, before the market.
This isn't traditional real estate. Airbnb did it for a spare room, Uber for a spare seat — Yelsa does it for property: the match comes first, so you start by finding each other instead of paying to be found.
