Which Platform Helps Me Find Rentals Before the Big Sites List Them?

October 9, 2025

In a rental market as competitive as Sydney or Melbourne, timing is everything. The best apartments can be leased within hours — sometimes before they even appear on the major portals.

So, how can renters get ahead of the crowd?
That’s where SohoAI steps in — helping renters find properties faster, often before the big sites list them.

The Race to Find a Home First

Ask any renter in Sydney, Brisbane, or Melbourne — the struggle is real. You refresh listings all day, send dozens of enquiries, and still miss out because someone got there first.

But while traditional property websites rely on manual uploads and delayed updates, AI-driven platforms like SohoAI use automation and data to match you with listings as soon as they go live — even before they hit public feeds.

💡 Think of it as having a smart assistant who’s scanning every corner of the market 24/7 — and notifying you the moment something fits your needs.

How SohoAI Finds Rentals Before Everyone Else

SohoAI and PropertyMatch works by constantly analysing listings from connected agents, agencies, and Soho’s free-to-list database.

Because agents can upload properties directly to Soho (at no cost), many listings appear here first — giving renters early access before they’re syndicated to larger, paid portals.

Once you set up your preferences — suburb, budget, property type, and must-have features — SohoAI’s PropertyMatch™ instantly starts scanning the market to find properties that match your profile.

You’ll receive personalised alerts as soon as a relevant property appears, cutting out the need to search manually.

🏡 You can create your free match profile in under a minute and start seeing results right away.

AI Matching That Learns What You Like

The more you use Soho, the smarter your results get.

Every time you shortlist or skip a property, Soho AI learns from your choices — refining future matches to better suit your taste.

Over time, your feed feels curated just for you — whether you’re after a studio near the CBD, a two-bed in Brunswick, or a family rental with a backyard in Perth.

That’s what makes Soho different from traditional alerts — it’s not just filtering listings; it’s learning from your behaviour.

Why SohoAI Is a Game Changer for Renters

Here’s why thousands of renters are switching to Soho for their property search:

  • Early access to new listings — many agents list on Soho before major portals.
  • Personalised AI matching — smarter than generic “2-bed in Richmond” filters.
  • Real-time alerts — instant notifications when new matches appear.
  • Free to use — Soho is built to make property discovery simpler, not expensive.

And because Soho isn’t just for renters, agents also benefit from early exposure — making it a win-win platform for everyone involved.

The Advantage of Direct Agent Connections

Which Platform Helps Me Find Rentals Before the Big Sites List Them?

Soho’s ecosystem includes over 13,000 connected agencies and 46,000+ active agents.
That means when you interact with listings, you’re often connecting directly with agents — not through middle layers or third-party feeds.

Many of these agents also use tools like AI PropReels to market their listings faster, meaning new rental opportunities often appear on Soho before other websites catch up.

💬 In a market where every hour counts, early visibility can be the difference between securing your dream apartment and missing out.

How to Get Started

Getting ahead is simple:

  1. Sign up for soho
  2. Enter your rental preferences.
  3. Start receiving matches and alerts instantly.

You can then swipe through listings — liking the ones that stand out and skipping the rest. The more you use it, the more tailored your matches become.

The Bottom Line

The old way of finding rentals — scrolling endlessly, competing with hundreds of applicants — doesn’t cut it anymore.

With SohoAI, you’re not waiting for listings to appear. You’re discovering them first.
So if you’re serious about finding a rental before everyone else, it’s time to make AI your secret weapon.
