For buyers
Be invited before homes hit the market.
By the time a property appears on the major portals, a private network of buyers has already had first access — you're always a step behind. A ready Buyer Profile flips that: you're matched, and invited to view, before a home is ever advertised.
Before it's advertised
You're matched to homes off-market — before they ever reach TradeMe, realestate.co.nz or an open home.
Invited to view
When a home matches you, the homeowner can invite you directly. No refreshing listings, no missing out.
Ready for day one
Buyers registered before matching begins are in the pool from the very first day. Latecomers wait.
Nelson / Tasman matching goes live 31st July 2026.
Get your Buyer Profile sorted today, so you don't miss a home before it reaches the market.
What a buyer looks like
Real demand, shown honestly.
These are representative buyer profiles, the kind Yelsa matches to homes like yours. See them in the demo, then in your own private matches from launch.

Are you the buyer? This is how you'll appear to homeowners — matched, and ready to be invited.
Create my Buyer Profile →How it works
Three steps. No hassle.
This isn't traditional real estate. Airbnb did it for a spare room, Uber for a spare seat. Yelsa does it for property. You start by finding your buyers, instead of paying to be found.
1
Enter your address
Tell us where home is. 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, and choose if or when you ever go public. No ad spend to find out what your home could do.
Getting your Buyer Profile
You might not need to pay for it at all.
Your Buyer Profile is what gets you matched and invited. There are two ways to get one — and most buyers choose the free route.
Most popular
Free through your mortgage broker
Freewith broker verification
Arrange your finance with one of our affiliated mortgage brokers and they'll set up your Buyer Profile at no cost. Most buyers never pay — brokers are paid by the lender when you settle, not by you. You get finance sorted and a Buyer Profile in one step.
Activate it yourself
