The Organisation
We’re a real estate tech startup that’s reinventing the way property is transacted in Australia. We have a bucketload of passion for the work we do which means we punch well above our weight as one of Australia’s fastest-growing companies. We’re looking for hard-working individuals who will bring their passion and rigour to the OpenAgent team to be a part of its growth and success.
What’s the role like?
Working as a Property Specialist, you’ll be helping homeowners find the right real estate agent to help them sell their home. You’ll be taking the time to really get to know our customers and understand what they want. Using our technology and knowledge of the market, our Property Specialists provide expert recommendations and advice on selecting an agent and personal support through the sales process.
OpenAgent works with great agents to get the best results for homeowners. Finding the top agents and building a real partnership with them is what makes the team so successful.
We serve the whole of Australia which makes the phone our channel of choice. Our Property Specialists typically speak to 20-30 customers in a day using our integrated CRM and telephony system.
We’re fully remote and we’re proud of the work-from-home culture we have developed. We provide the technology, training, and ongoing support to make it feel like you’re part of the team, wherever your home office may be.
If you like the sound of this team and want to be a part of it, then we would love to talk to you.

Who are we?
We’re OpenAgent — and it’s our mission to make it easier for Australians to buy, sell and own property.
We started in 2013 with the goal to improve transparency around real estate and to make it easier to find a trusted real estate agent. Selling a home is a big deal and this is why it’s the first problem we set out to solve. We’re on a mission to help all Australians achieve their real estate dreams and bring back the joy of homeownership.
Besides being a friendly, inclusive and flexible workplace, we’re also led by an incredibly capable and humble executive team. We’re all about bringing on high-quality people and giving them all the room in the world to do great work and grow.
We have a bucketload of passion for the work we do which means we do more with less and punch well above our weight. You’ll be joining a team made up of people at the top of their game, who work collaboratively to achieve some big goals.
We help thousands of people every month improve their experiences in real estate. We bring more information, better insight and an independent voice to the property transaction, helping people sell smarter, better and faster every day.
As the people’s champion in real estate, we bring passion and analytic rigour to the biggest problems in the industry. We make a lot of things happen, we make them happen fast and as a team.
We work hard but we have fun doing it. At the end of the day, achieving big things with an awesome team is what makes this journey exciting.
We work remotely, so if you’re anywhere in Australia and feel you’ve got what we’re looking for, we encourage you to apply.
