Buyers and homes, matched before the market.

Sellers discover the finance-approved buyers already searching for a home like theirs. Buyers get invited to homes before they're advertised. Which side are you?

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.

For sellersFind your buyers first

  1. Enter your address

    We build a private Property Profile, visible only to you until you say otherwise.

  2. See your buyers

    Discover finance-approved buyers already searching for a home like yours — matched on budget, area and lifestyle.

  3. Sell on your terms

    Connect privately, off-market. Choose if or when you ever go public — no ad spend to find out what your home could do.

For buyersBe invited before it's listed

  1. Create your Buyer Profile

    Set your budget, area and must-haves — about two minutes. Set it up through your mortgage broker for a Finance Affiliated Buyer Profile: complimentary, with added credibility vendors trust.

  2. Get matched off-market

    You're matched to homes before they reach TradeMe, realestate.co.nz or an open home.

  3. Invited to view

    When a home matches you, the homeowner can invite you directly — before it's ever advertised.
