OpenAgent is just a scam. They continue to be a plague on the industry and a middle man that is not required.
They recommend desperate agents who are willing to give up 20-40% of their commission. A good agent would never agree to this set up.

Open Agent helped me to find the agent who delivered a successful sale of my property. I appreciated the process: agents contacted me, and I could proceed to meet with them if I was interested. I felt that my priorities were reflected in the agents who contacted me.

OpenAgent are fantastic. I found an excellent Real estate Agent through OpenAgent. I have had a hassle free sale of my property and have OpenAgent to thank for that. They get back to you quickly, made good recommendations and continued to check that I was satisfied with the service. I will certainly use them for any future sales.

Saved me doing all the run around to find a good agent especially as I don't live in the state where my property for sale is. Open agent are polite, easy to deal with and good at communicating. Had my list of top agents in the area straight away and those agents contacted me that day. My property is now currently listed for sale with one of them

EDIT: A representative of OpenAgent, Samantha, has since contacted me to rectify this matter. This issue was handled efficiently and appropriately. Review has been amended to reflect this. Thank you Samantha.
Original Post:
Incredibly unprofessional behaviour from this company. I get constant emails from them even though I have unsubscribed several times from their mailing list. They cannot be trusted with people's personal information.

In the Open Agent August 2019 article "Top 10 Home Stagers in Sydney" they listed a company that no longer exists and they offer no explanation or assessment methodology as to why they have selected the 10 in their article. They leave out many longstanding Sydney property styling companies (Valiant, Furnish and Finish, Guest Group, Pabs, Living Edge) who would each style hundreds if not thousands of Sydney properties a year and have been in existence for 20/30 years plus. The fact that they have included a company that does not exist and they exclude many long established and successful providers

Beware of this, you do not have access to all agents in an area, i think agents must pay them to be on their so call recommended list. As you get harrassed by agents that are not the most prominent in the area or the closest. My dad was getting called from an agent 2 suburbs away
So someone that charges 20% of the agents fee with only a small portion of agents taking part....Answer consumers will pay 20% extra on agents fees as agents more then likely have there minimum set fees. Better dealing directly with agents for the best fee rather then a middle man telling you who to use because they are

Very happy with the service and response to questions. Open agent went above my expectations to help me make a decision on which real estate agent to choose. That information was invaluable. We chose the right agent for us and got a really good result. Thank you to the team at OpenAgent!

OpenAgent is one of the few credible Real Estate Agent comparison websites because they actually research the leading agent in an area.
Most of the other agent comparison websites throw your contact details to a big pool of agents who have simply registered to their website with no sceening of ability or local results.
OpenAgent also has a great agent review facility.
