Don’t waste your time with builders that aren’t right for you. Only to find out this builder isn’t in your budget, that builder won’t customise or they can’t even build in your area. We’ve put together a great network of builders for all types of builds. Some that are great with estate builds, knockdown rebuilds, custom and inner city builds, coastal or acreage and development builds. Every build is unique. We listen to what you’re looking for, discuss your options, and arrange plans and complete build pricing if needed. We save you time by helping recommend builders that suit your exact needs. No strings, no obligations. Search, compare & find your new home at homeshelf.com.au. Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane.

SL is your operating system for property marketing. As a full-funnel agency, we take your project from impression to close. Snaplistings’ integrated solution combines the key marketing and leasing players to directly and successfully influence leasing decisions and nurture the journey. Unlike our competitors, we offer a fixed volume of qualified project leads each month, guaranteed. By implementing data science, we increase lead to showing conversation rates delivering a more effective sell-out or lease-up. Our results speak for themselves: - In a total of just 18 weeks, 12 buildings spanning from NYC to San Francisco, had fully leased all semi-furnished studio units using Snaplistings tenant acquisition program. - In just 3 weeks, our buyer acquisition program sold through 55% of the first release in a difficult, emerging market. Even before we became a leading property marketing company, @snaplistings defined a new way to buy and lease in NYC with our real estate and lifestyle channel which helped renters and buyers find a home from their phone. Our video listings & neighborhood tours by NYC insiders made the process transparent, entertaining and educational. Since being featured in Adweek, NY Post, Inman and more top outlets, we’ve only continued to make waves in the NYC real estate landscape upgrading both our clients and the industry alike.

As an independent platform, iBuildNew helps Australians identify and compare new home designs, house and land packages and land estates. It’s the smart way home buyers, who are considering a new build, can find the ideal options to match their individual needs. Home building is a big decision, we make sure buyers get it right.

Complementing our search portal, marketing platform and lead generation business we offer builders and developers H&L packaging and publishing software (Halper) to enable them to create packages at scale and manage online listings across all the major portals in Australia, and their own website through a single user interface.
