If you are a Real Estate Professional, you can register with Yelsa Connect to receive referrals and earn income. In doing so you have the opportunity to be invited by Sellers to represent them and their property to Buyers. No prospecting for new listings, preparing marketing campaigns, or putting up signs. This work represents more than 85% of a Real Estate Licensee’s working life, which leaves 15% of their time showing Buyers through properties, preparing contracts, negotiating agreements and contract management. Imagine how much more time you’ll have, and how many more contracts you could write each month by becoming the most sought after negotiating Real Estate Licensee in your area on the Yelsa Connect platform.

Yelsa Connect connects Buyers and Sellers of property without the traditional necessity to search for business, print letters or deliver leaflets. Yelsa Connect reduces unnecessary time and costs spent on marketing, signage and open homes held without interested Buyers.

When you accept an invitation from a vendor to represent their home in a sale process, you are doing so in your capacity as a Real Estate Licensee, and independently of Yelsa Connect. Accordingly you are required to meet all of the usual obligations and requirements imposed upon you by the statute which governs your industry. You must comply with all of the established legal requirements incumbent on Real Estate Licensees when listing properties including (however not limited to) your obligations under the Real Estate Agents Act 2008 and the Anti Money Laundering and Counter Financing of Terrorism Act 2009.

The Yelsa Connect process starts with potential Buyers known to the home Sellers, so in effect you could be expected by a vendor to undertake your usual real estate work, starting from having contact details for these potential Buyers. You could be expected to arrange and conduct viewings with Buyers, receive instructions from purchasers, prepare and negotiate contracts, then industry typical contract management through to settlement.

One of our Team will endeavour to get back to you within 24 hours.

You will receive an email notification from Yelsa Connect with the details of a Seller who has selected you to provide professional services. You have 24 hours to either accept or decline this invitation.
