Yes. Inspection times are publicly available on the major property portals and on Lystr. Buyers do not need to register to see them. Some sellers choose appointment-only inspections; that is entirely their preference.
Buyers can also watch a property on Lystr to receive updates when a new inspection is added, the status changes or offers are received.
No. Anyone can view inspection times without registering. Registration is only needed to use features such as property updates, platform chat, formal offers and other buyer tools.
Attendance is influenced mainly by the property’s presentation, marketing and asking price—not the agency brand. Lystr monitors listing views, enquiries, contract downloads and attendance. If interest is lower than expected, we work with the seller on practical ways to improve it.
Our internal data indicates listings with a displayed price receive around 70% more views on average than properties marketed by auction or “by negotiation”.
Lystr gives you the tools to manage follow-up yourself. Visitors can check in using a QR code, and their attendance, activity and feedback appear in your dashboard. You can pin important visitors, review their level of interest and follow up directly while their visit is still fresh in their mind.
After an open home, visitors can share feedback about the property. That feedback is shown alongside their visit details, helping you decide who to contact and what to discuss.
Lystr provides tools to help you manage negotiations directly. You can review offers, communicate with buyers about terms, and keep track of negotiation details and next steps in one place. You decide how to respond to each offer and remain in control throughout the process.
Formal offers are submitted by verified users through Lystr and include the proposed price, deposit, settlement period and any special conditions. Sellers can see formal offers as they arrive.
An offer may begin informally in chat or conversation. If accepted, it must be recorded in the platform so the required compliance checks and documentation can be completed.
Lystr may recommend a structured best-and-final-offer process. Interested buyers are invited to submit their strongest offer by a stated deadline. The seller sees the outcome and chooses the offer that best meets their needs.
The highest price is not always the best offer: settlement timing, deposit and contract conditions can be equally important. Lystr explains the trade-offs, but the final decision always belongs to the seller.
Every property and market is different, so broad price comparisons can be misleading. Where closely comparable properties have sold in the same development or area, properties sold through Lystr have achieved competitive outcomes, including results above nearby agent-led sales.
The median time on market for homes sold through Lystr is 31 days. Sellers also consistently highlight the control they retain and the absence of pressure to accept an offer before they are ready.
In the previous 12 months, contracts have been exchanged for 27 properties sold through Lystr.
Yes. Lystr is a licensed real estate agency, but we enable people to sell their own homes with technology that gives them more visibility and control.
Sellers host their own open homes when it suits them. Inspection times and attendee feedback are managed through the Lystr platform.
Lystr records the agreed price and terms, and completes the relevant identity and compliance checks. The buyer’s and seller’s solicitors then work toward contract exchange. Exact steps vary by state or territory and contract conditions.
Lystr brings together major-portal exposure, licensed support and a platform that makes buyer activity, enquiries and offers visible. Sellers can communicate directly with buyers if they wish, while professional help remains available throughout—all for a fixed fee rather than a percentage commission.
