Our model
Seek is a no-opinion platform. We don't rank listings by how much we earn. We don't hide spaces that would cost us more to show you. Every operator on Seek pays the same — and you see all of them.
"We are subject to any increased commissions. If a space fits your brief you will see it. No more hidden options filtered by broker preference. Complete transparency."
— Peter Dudley, co-founder, SeekWhat we commit to
Seek has never accepted a payment from an operator in exchange for better placement, priority in search results, or preferential treatment of any kind. Every listing appears on its merits.
Some platforms earn more from certain operators through revenue-sharing agreements. Seek charges every operator the same rate. There is no tier that gets extra visibility.
If a space matches your criteria — headcount, location, move-in date, budget — you see it. We don't hide lower-commission spaces or push higher-margin options instead.
Operators set their own prices. We don't adjust display prices based on our commission rate, and we don't hide the actual cost behind "from" pricing that obscures what's real.
How we make money
Seek's revenue comes entirely from operators — never from tenants. And operators choose their own model:
How we differ
Broker models are built around incentive structures that don't always serve tenants. Here's where Seek's model is fundamentally different.
| What you want to know | Traditional broker | Seek |
|---|---|---|
| Do they earn more if you pay more? | Yes — commission is a % of your deal value | No — operators pay a flat fee, tenants pay nothing |
| Do they show you all available options? | Not always — they may filter to higher-commission options | Yes — every space that matches your brief is shown |
| Can they steer you toward a specific deal? | Yes — they control which spaces are presented | No — you browse all listings; operators pitch you directly |
| Do they benefit from you signing a longer lease? | Yes — higher deal value = higher commission | No — our revenue is fixed, independent of your deal terms |
| Is their recommendation conflict-free? | Sometimes — but their revenue depends on outcomes | Yes — no commission in any deal means no conflict |
