Quicklister – Quickly Becoming The Online Agent Of Choice (Review)

Quicklister - Online Agent

Quicklister is an interesting case, because they have this whole underdog story thing going on. You don’t hear much about them – they’re relatively small compared to the household names we’re all acustom to (e.g. Purplebricks, Yopa, OpenRent) – but they’ve been plodding along, seemingly doing all the right things, and I think they’re finally starting to reap the rewards.

Quicklister is online estate agent, offering sales and lettings services. I’ve been working with them since late 2022 and I’ve been watching them blossom, from the front row, as they inconspicuously eat away at the market share from some of the other players in the space.

I work with most of the top online agents similar to Quicklister, including the likes of Purplebricks, Yopa and 99Homes on the sales front, and OpenRent and LettingAProperty on the lettings front, so I can confidently say that I’m strategically placed to get a nice little overview of the market.

(When I say “work with”, I mean I list them on my online letting agents and online estate agents comparison tables.)

Competition is clearly fierce, so how does Quicklister compare and fit into the picture? In this blog post, I’ll be tackling the following:

  • Is Quicklister a legit online agent?
  • Would I personally use Quicklister (to sell a property or find a tenant)?
  • How Quicklister compares against the competition
  • How Quicklister’s online service works

Is Quicklister a legit online agent?

If you’re looking for a simple answer to whether Quicklister is a legit and extremely cost-effective online agent, then I can tell you without hesitation that Quicklister is the real deal.

If that’s all you needed to hear, then I say have at it. Sign up to their service and have a ball (for virtually peanuts. Their price point is, well, on point!).

As mentioned, I’ve been referring to their services since 2022, and to be clear, I’ve yet to receive any complaints.

What I really like about Quicklister as a company is that they’ve focused on growing organically (hence why you don’t hear about them as much, relatively speaking). They’ve stayed well-clear of those fatal funding rounds and big-budget marketing campaigns that can often trigger a downward spiral into the abyss.

Over the past decade, I’ve seen too many online agents get trapped in the cycle of raising money and blowing it all on glossy marketing campaigns. Rinse and repeat. Many of them eventually get to the point where they have drained their resources and tapped out their investors’, causing them to close the doors (you’d be mortified at the losses and burn-rate some of the top players are currently operating at, it’s plain nasty!).

My point is, I wouldn’t let Quicklister’s inferior brand recognition strike fear in you, because it’s by design.

So in short, if you’re looking to sell your property or let it out and you’re aware of how online agents work, then I don’t think you can go wrong with Quicklister.

Would I personally use Quicklister (to sell a property or find a tenant)?

Yup, I would, and my reasons for why are simple, and they’re also presumably why Quicklister are becoming a popular choice among the punters!

  • Both their Sales & Lettings packages are competitively priced across the board, making it very appealing from the jump.
  • Their website and management dashboard is slick and user-friendly, making it easy to add properties and manage enquiries. It’s all so simple.
  • They don’t have a bad reputation. Rightly or wrongly so, some of the other larger online agents have amassed some pretty scathing reviews, and that obviously works in Quicklister’s favour.
  • Their service is so cheap and requires no commitments, so even if their service is dire, the downside is limited.

In other words, I wouldn’t hesitate in using them, and I certainly wouldn’t stop anyone in their tracks from using them either, on the contrary in fact. But I do want to make it clear that my willingness to give their service a spin isn’t a declaration of them being my unequivocal preference. Quicklister have stiff competition, many of which are worth considering, so I’d be remiss if I wasn’t transparent about it.

Quicklister’s Sales Service

Quicklister offers 3 sales packages (any of which can be modified with optional add-ons, such as EPCs, Professional Photography service etc):

Pretty snazzy.

Nothing to be mad at there. Cheap as chips. Who’s going to be grumpy with a £79 estate agency bill?

Well, actually, I’ll tell you who might be – someone that discovers Purplebricks free house-selling service shortly after.

If you’re eyeing up Quicklister’s £79 “Saver” package, which notably doesn’t include a Rightmove listing, then I must encourage you to take a step back and take a gander at Purplebricks FREE online sales service. Yes, it’s free, and it’s plumped with more features.

For more information on the shiny free object, I can only implore you to read my full Purplebricks review.

Similarly to Quicklister’s Saver package, Purplebricks free service doesn’t include the Holy Grail, the Rightmove listing – a feature that’s a must-have for many sellers (and understandably so, since Rightmove is the most popular property portal by far, attracting a silly amount of eyeballs), but it does include a handy and potent Zoopla listing.

So if you’re after free and a fab dealPurplebricks is objectively the better option [compared to Quicklister’s £79 package], no matter which way you slice it. A Zoopla listing is certainly nothing to sneeze at, and it’s plenty capable of generating a buttload of enquiries (whether you’re trying to sell or rent out your property).

The Rightmove listing

If you’re anything like me, in that you can’t imagine proceeding without that precious Rightmove listing, then Quicklister’s £169 “Exposure” package suddenly becomes an appealing option. I imagine this is their most popular package. But be that as it may, it’s still not a clear winner in this race.

Purplebricks free service includes more features and 6 months marketing (3 months longer than any of Quicklister’s sales packages), with the option to include a Rightmove listing for £399.

If you’re sure you can flog your home with in a marketing campaign that stretches for 3 months, then obviously Quicklister’s Exposure package is the most cost-efficient solution. But who can be sure of these things?

If we compare the two packages with like-for-like features (i.e. with the inclusion of a Rightmove listing and 6 months marketing), Purplebricks seems to be providing the better value proposition for £399 (with the logical presumption that Quicklister’s Exposure package will cost £338 for 6 months worth of marketing).

So I’ll leave it in your capable and grubby mitts to decide which proposition makes you salivate the most. I’m just the messenger. Don’t shoot!

The truth is, there are a range of very good online estate agents to choose from, all offering an array of packages and optional toppings set at different prices, so the better deal for you will most likely depend on the features you will want and require to sell your home, be it a Zoopla listing, Rightmove listing, EPC etc.

So this is where I insist on nudging you towards my online estate agent comparison table – a tool that allows you to build a wishlist of features to help determine which online agent and sales package stands out in terms of price and value.

Quicklister’s Find-a-tenant Lettings service

Quicklister also offers a couple of very compelling lettings package, and similarly to their sales packages, I wouldn’t consider discouraging anyone from using one.

However, it would be disingenuous of me to say that either of their “find a tenant” lettings packages would be my first choice. Because they wouldn’t be. My heart and mind still remain faithful to the market leaders’, OpenRent. I still think they’re the best in the business, and they’re so far ahead of the game that I’d probably feel uncomfortable for not calling their service a no-brainer choice.

Price£69 Inc VAT Visit Website

I’ve already shared my thoughts on a precious Rightmove listing for when selling a house, and those same considerations apply when it comes to marketing for finding a tenant. In other words, OpenRent’s £69 “Advertising + Rent Now” package provides significantly better value than Quicklister’s “Exposure” lettings package, and the extra £10 they’re demanding clearly goes a long way and is well coughing-up for, in my humble opinion.

Would Quicklister be my second choice? Quite possibly. Most likely. Specifically their £59 Exposure package!

Ultimately, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with Quicklister’s letting packages; they offer great value and are cheaper than the vast majority of the other options available. I’m sure either of their packages will do the job just fine. Alas, it’s unfortunate for them, that they can’t (or won’t) compete with OpenRent’s packages, because it means there’s not much of a conversation to be had.

You know what they say, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”, and OpenRent certainly ain’t broken. But put it this way, I’d be more inclined to try Quicklister’s “find a tenant” service if I wasn’t already satisfied with OpenRent.

How Quicklister’s online service works

Below is a cool little video produced by Quicklister, demonstrating how their service works (i.e. from submitting your property details to getting it marketed on the UK’s biggest property portals to managing enquiries):

To be fair, the video demonstrates more or less how most online agents work in terms of operation and logistics. However, admittedly, Quicklister’s interface is particularly slick.

If you want to know more about the fundamentals of online agents, specifically what they are, what their purpose is, and how they differ from traditional high-street agents, plus a buttload more, then my in-depth guides on online letting agents (suitable for BTL landlords looking for tenants) and online estate agents (suitable for anyone wanting to sell their house) might be worth a peak.

Hope this has been helpful.

If anything changes, I’ll be sure to update the content of this post.

Feel free to drop a comment if you have any questions, and especially feel free to leave feedback if you have personal experience with Quicklister’s service (that would actually be incredibly useful and appreciated)!

Right, I’m outie! xo
