Who is Plezzel?
We began by simply solving a problem. From here, we ventured through the digital evolution and developed an online lead management and marketing automation software currently used by thousands of Australian real estate agents. Our products provide the time-saving and marketing tools Agencies need to efficiently manage property campaigns, get more listings and build better relationships with their future clients.
We see ourselves as a partner (not a ‘supplier’), building the right digital assets for the future growth of your business.We are friendly, caring, empathetic and collaborative. We educate our customers on utilising our products and services.
We pay our respects to and acknowledge the cultural authority of Wadawurrung Traditional Owners of the Land on which Plezzel lives, learns, works and plays.

Our Journey
The real estate industry is rapidly transforming to digital. Gone are the days when an agent would drive a client around the local area!
We found Real estate agents did not respond to every enquiry made on a property, so in 2011 we identified an opportunity to use technology to replace many of the manual processes that are not applied consistently.
With the major source of enquiry now via online websites, real estate is a 24/7 business. Our own analytics indicate that 70 percent of property enquiries come into the office outside of business hours.
Being smarter with Property Marketing campaigns drive us to utilise powerful data assets created by the Plezzel platform to target buyers and generate listings for our clients.
