We built the platform we wish had existed.
StrikePrice started with a number in someone's head.
My mum wanted to downsize. She knew exactly what she'd sell for. A number that felt fair, that would give her the life she wanted next. Not a cent less.
But there was no way to put that number anywhere. To say: here's my home, here's my price, find me the person who agrees.
Instead she had to choose between a full sales campaign with an agent, an auction she didn't want, or doing nothing and waiting.
That didn't make sense to me.
I have three properties. I know my number on every single one of them. Most property owners do. They just have nowhere to put it.
StrikePrice is that place.
The man with the dog.
One afternoon I was standing in my front yard when a man walking his dog stopped at the fence. “Excuse me, do you know if anyone in your street is thinking of selling?”
I asked why. “We live two streets over,” he said. “But we’ve always wanted to live on this street. So we just wait. And ask.”
That’s when it clicked. Here was a genuine buyer: patient, certain, probably willing to pay properly. And his entire strategy was walking his dog past the houses he wanted and asking strangers. There was no way for him to raise his hand. No way for any owner on my street to know he existed. The demand was real, standing right in front of me, and completely invisible.
That’s why on StrikePrice you can express interest in any home, on the market or not. The owner sees that buyers are waiting.
And the man with the dog finally gets to say it to the right person.
Moments that made it real.
These aren't hypotheticals. They're real situations. People I know. All solved by a platform that didn't exist yet.
A house in the same street.
A friend of mine in Sydney had always wanted to buy another property in his street. He knew the one. He was ready to buy. But the owner wasn't selling, so he had to wait. He waited over a year before it came to market. If that house had a Strike Price sitting on it, he would have bought it the day he was ready.
Sold on a WhatsApp video.
When it came time to sell a property in Mildura, the agent recorded a video walkthrough on his phone and sent it to a buyer's advocate on WhatsApp. The advocate showed it to a potential buyer. They bought it. No open homes, no campaign, no ceremony. When the price is right, buyers decide fast.
The holiday home on the lake.
A friend has a holiday home in rural Victoria. Three and a half hours from Melbourne, sitting on a lake. The water level goes up and down with the seasons, and timing the sale for when it looks its best is almost impossible. They're not desperate to sell. They just want the price they want, whenever the right buyer comes along. They don't care how long it takes. StrikePrice was made for exactly this.
Five buyers, ready today.
A property lawyer told me he currently has five separate clients who have each identified a specific property they want to buy. None of those properties are on the market. He is drafting letters to each of the five owners, asking if they would consider selling. As he put it: if those properties had a Strike Price, we would go straight there and buy them today.
Five buyers. Five properties. Five transactions that could happen right now. If only the owners had somewhere to put their number.
The Simultaneous Move.
A friend of mine, 43, sold and bought a couple of months ago. They sold first, because that is the order the market forces. Finding the next place took seven months, so they rented in between, with a five-year-old and a one-year-old. Two moves with small children, seven months in somebody else’s kitchen, for something that could have been a single afternoon.
Buying and selling at the same time is one of the most stressful situations in property. You can’t commit to buying until you’ve sold. You can’t relax about selling until you know where you’re going. The traditional answer is bridging finance, rushed decisions, or exactly what they did.
Strike Price removes the problem.
- 1
Identify your shortlist. Find three or four homes on Strike Price that you’d genuinely buy at their listed price. These are real prices, not auction guides. What you see is what you pay.
- 2
Lodge expressions of interest. EOIs are free and non-binding. They put you on the platform’s radar for those properties and confirm your buyer credentials are ready.
- 3
List your own home. Set your Strike Price. Buyers can accept it on the spot.
- 4
When your buyer accepts, you act immediately. The moment your Strike is executed, you know exactly what you’re walking away with and when. Ten minutes later you can Strike one of the shortlisted properties. Both contracts are binding from the moment of acceptance.
The shortlist is the de-risking step. By having three or four properties you’d happily buy, you remove the chance that your preferred home is gone when your sale completes. No bridging loan, no renting in between, no waiting for an auction — buying and selling at once stops being a coordination nightmare and becomes a sequence of clean, bound decisions.
