Hiizzy, the UK’s consumer-to-consumer property marketplace has officially launched in Jersey, bringing with it a fresh, new, tech-enabled way for local homeowners to sell their properties. After gaining traction and media attention across the UK, Hiizzy has adapted its platform specifically for the Jersey market, and is now ready to empower Islanders with a new choice in property sales.
Created by local founders Lewis Buckley and Allan Wood, Hiizzy puts transparency, control and cost-saving front and centre. Lewis Buckley says, “We’re thrilled to bring Hiizzy home to Jersey. This platform is about giving Islanders a real alternative—a way to sell their homes on their own terms.”
“Of course, estate agents will still be the right choice for some, but for those homeowners who want to be in charge of their sale, deal directly with potential buyers, access modern technology and tools, and avoid paying estate agent commission fees, Hiizzy represents a brand new solution.”
“If you want to fire your real-estate agent, the startup world is already working to help you. One new offering is from Hiizzy, which is building an online marketplace where home buyers and sellers come together to complete transactions themselves.” Business Insider, ‘Want to fire your agent? Try this.’
“Lewis Buckley, co-founder of house selling platform Hiizzy, said: “Selling your own home requires motivation. You must take responsibility for the process. But, those who do can benefit from significant cost savings. It is up to 95% cheaper than traditional estate agents.” The Sun, ‘How to sell your home cheaply without using an estate agent’, Oct 2024
Leave estate agent fees behind
Hiizzy is driving change in property sales with a branded double-decker bus on Jersey’s busiest routes. The message is clear: leave estate agent fees behind. It’s impossible to miss, and a powerful reminder that there’s a new choice for selling homes in Jersey.
Further supporting local visibility, Hiizzy are proud to announce their partnership with Places.je, Jersey’s go-to property portal. Hiizzy listings will now appear automatically on Places.je, ensuring local sellers get the exposure they deserve – without any added costs.
Plus, as part of their commitment to giving back, Hiizzy has teamed up with JAYF (Jersey Association for Youth and Friendship) a charity dedicated to supporting young people experiencing homelessness. Listing properties on Hiizzy.com is currently free for early adopters, but when the £395 flat fee is introduced, 10% of the fee in Jersey will go directly to JAYF to support their vital work. “We’re proud to support local youth homelessness causes and to make a difference in the communities we operate in,” says Allan Wood. “We are already supporting New Horizon Youth Centre in London, and delighted to be able to support the great work JAYF does here in Jersey.”
Local developers on board
In addition to individual homeowners, a number of Jersey developers have already partnered with Hiizzy, including Andium Homes. “Hiizzy is proving to be an attractive option for developers looking to keep control over their sales and save on agent fees,” says Lewis Buckley.
A new choice for Jersey homeowners
Unlike traditional estate agents, Hiizzy offers users full control over their property sales. With features such as secure direct communication with interested buyers, an editable viewings calendar, and listing tools, Hiizzy provides a genuine alternative, making it straightforward and cost-effective for Islanders to sell their properties themselves, whether they’re first-time sellers or experienced developers.
“We’ve always believed in giving people choice and the tools to take control of their own sales. Hiizzy isn’t just about saving money; it’s about creating a transparent and user-friendly experience for everyone,” says Allan Wood.
“With new technology, start-up business Hiizzy is hoping to disrupt the traditional estate agency market, save sellers some serious cash and tackle youth homelessness at the same time… this could be music to the ears of homeowners, who have seen the amount of agent fees rise by nearly a quarter in the last five years.” YourMoney.com, ‘I’m so Hiizzy: Buy and sell your home privately without pricey estate agent fees’
Hiizzy’s just getting started
With over 1,350 registered users on the consumer-to-consumer platform, and new homes added daily, including 26 for sale by owners of properties in Jersey, Hiizzy is rapidly becoming a game changer in property sales, without the middleman and traditional estate agent commission fees. And with expansion plans on the horizon, Hiizzy is here to stay.
