Our Story

A little about us

The Doorknock Approach

We're re-imagining how the real estate system can work better for everyone involved. Our approach retains the same players -buyers, sellers, and agents- but we've redeployed them in a way that focuses on each party's core value and purpose. We believe in empowering Kiwis to take control of their property journey by throwing their hat in the ring and initiating conversations that matter.

Our Method

Our approach is proven, with an impressive 12.5% response rate from homeowners in our recent market tests. We're continuously fine-tuning our method to ensure you have the best experience. Our goal is to enable pre-market dialogues, connecting buyers and sellers for informed decisions.Learn more about how the Doorknock process works.

Transparency and Fairness

Doorknock is about changing the game, making property accessible, transparent, and uniquely Kiwi. Our innovative approach offers a level playing field, ensuring that even everyday Kiwis (and not just well-connected investors) have access to the best property opportunities.Join us in this revolution—discover a new way of doing property, one that's better, fairer, and powered by Doorknock.

Trusted Local Partners

People are everything, which is why we want to maximize the "human element" of real estate. We do this with the help of trusted local real estate agents who believe in our mission. These agents are not our employees; they're part of the community, just like you, and proudly hand-deliver your Doorknocks to each address. While we could send your Doorknocks via post, having them hand-delivered has proven to yield better connections and results. This is why agents partner with us to deliver opportunities to your doorstep.
