New property platform makes waves

A new property network and management tool aims to revolutionise the property sales sector by aggregating off-the-plan properties and promoting them to thousands of investment agents and advisors throughout the world.

In August 2013 Jon Ellis (pictured) launched Investorist – a B2B off-the-plan property sales platform that promotes and distributes properties to Australia and beyond through real estate agents, financial planners, accountants and advisors.

With a patent pending, this platform provides developers and agents with a stock management, distribution and reporting system.

Despite being so new, the platform has already listed more than $5 billion in off-market property and over 10 members have joined. In less than 10 months, Ellis has opened offices across Australia (Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney) and expanded into Kuala Lumpur and Shanghai.

“Off-the-plan property is a global commodity now” explains Ellis. “We recognise this fact and our site is available in both English and Mandarin, and we also have joint hosting in China.

“During June 2014 we had more than 0 stock movements equating to approximately $260 million worth of property transactions,” he says. “One of the key reasons for our success is our pricing model. We don’t take commission, which makes our role clear and up-front and that is very important to us.”

Investorist has also introduced hybrid events in the property industry called Investorist Live.

“Investorist Live is a bit like ABC’s Q&A program,” says Ellis. “Local members can attend in person and others can tune in from anywhere across the globe and ask questions via live chat, SMS, tweets and emails, which the developer can respond to right there and then.”
