Free to create a Seller Account
Creating a seller account is free! With Release.Me sellers only pay for the properties that they release via the platform. Up until that point, the use of the platform is free. Sellers can create an account, prepare multiple releases, save releases as draft and preview. This is a great way to get to know your way around the Release.Me platform prior to committing. You can also create releases weeks in advance and only pay at the time you publish.
Release Types
For Sellers, Release.Me provides three types of release options to deliver optimal sales results. Sellers can choose from the following release options:
- Release – Properties are released & allocated within a time period set by the Seller
- Release & Buy Now – After the release period has closed, properties that do not get allocated or sold during the release become available for purchase at anytime via a ‘buy now’ selection – Sellers can utilise the release URL as a simple ecommerce add-on to their developer or agent website
- Buy Now – Sellers can upload their property listing and utilise the release URL as a simple ecommerce add-on to their developer or agent website
In each release type, Release.Me handles buyer registrations and preferences or applications, allocation of properties, collection of particulars of sale, bookings for contract signing and payment of holding deposits. The availability status of each property is kept up to date in real-time on both the Seller dashboard and release listing.
