FROM THE FOUNDER

“I sold homes for fifteen years. I know exactly what agents charge $30k for — and most of it is now better done by software.”

Most people sell a home with help that’s either too hands-off or too expensive. Agents take the deal end-to-end and charge $30k for it. DIY platforms remove the agent but leave you alone with a spreadsheet.

We built Unreserved to bring real campaign infrastructure — pricing, buyer management, live auctions — into the hands of homeowners. Without the commission.

— Ben Williams, Co-founder & CEO

Why trust us

Built by agents. Not by outsiders.

Unreserved was founded by licensed estate agents with 25+ years of combined experience and over 2,000 auctions conducted. They’ve walked through every kind of sale — and built the platform they wish their clients had had all along.

Jimmy Messis

Co-founder

Jimmy brings over a decade of front-line experience at some of Melbourne’s most respected real estate agencies — the kind of insider knowledge that informs everything Unreserved does differently. He is also a proven founder in his own right, starting One.Two Boxing which has scaled to multiple gyms.

The Problem

Selling a home shouldn’t cost you the commission.

For most people, selling a home is the largest financial transaction of their life. With agents, you hand over control and rely on someone else to manage the process — visibility is limited, feedback is filtered, and the upside is shared with whoever holds the listing.

On the other side, traditional “sell it yourself” platforms remove the agent, but also remove the structure. You’re left to figure things out on your own — without guidance, without momentum, and without a clear way to manage buyers or move the sale forward.

In both cases, sellers can miss opportunities — not because of effort, but because the system was never built for them.

The Solution

Control of selling on your own — with the structure that’s usually missing.

You’re not left guessing what to do next or how to handle buyers. The process is structured. You can see how interest is building, understand where you stand, and know exactly what move comes next.

It’s not about removing support — it’s about delivering it in a way that actually helps you get a better outcome.

The Platform

Listing, enquiries, offers — all connected.

Unreserved brings together the tools an agent uses with the visibility a seller actually wants. From listing your home to managing enquiries and handling offers, everything is connected so nothing gets lost or overlooked.

Track activity, respond quickly, and stay on top of every interaction — without needing to rely on someone else to manage it for you. It’s designed to do what agents and basic listing platforms can’t do on their own: give you both control and structure.

    The Future

    We’re not replacing sellers. We’re replacing the need for agents to mediate the sale.

    The gap between using an agent and doing it yourself has always been about confidence. One offered support but limited control. The other offered control but very little support. That gap is now closing.

    Unreserved gives homeowners the same campaign infrastructure agents use — listing reach, buyer management, live auctions, pricing intelligence — without the $30k middleman. The seller stays in control. The platform handles the work. The commission stays where it belongs: with the homeowner.
