The research engine for buyer's agents and investors
Arqelo is a property intelligence platform built for Australian buyer's agents and investors. It replaces hours of manual suburb research with AI-powered analysis across 15,000+ suburbs — giving agents institutional-grade intelligence at a fraction of the time and cost.
The problem
Every client brief means hours of manual research across dozens of fragmented data sources — Domain for listings, ABS for demographics, council sites for zoning, SQM for vacancy rates, PropTrack for growth data. No single platform brought it together with intelligence layered on top.
Buyer's agents are capacity-constrained. The more thorough the research, the fewer clients they can serve. The platform needed to automate the research that slows agents down — so their expertise could reach more people, faster.
What we built
A full-stack subscription platform that aggregates 21+ data sources, applies AI-powered scoring, and delivers suburb and property intelligence through a purpose-built interface for buyer's agents.
AI-powered suburb matching
An algorithm that analyses 15,000+ Australian suburbs across 120+ data points — demographics, infrastructure pipelines, market cycles, rental yields, vacancy rates — and ranks them by fit against each client's specific goals, budget, and risk profile. Results in seconds, not days.
Property scanner with traffic light verdicts
Paste any Domain or REA listing URL and receive a data-backed verdict across 47 investment criteria. Green, amber, or red — with the underlying data to explain the recommendation to clients.
13-section intelligence briefs
Comprehensive property and suburb analysis covering executive summary, financial projections, comparable sales, risk assessment, location intelligence, and AI-generated insights. Exportable as white-label PDF reports for client delivery.
Portfolio tracking and wealth forecasting
Track owned properties with equity, LVR, rental yield, and net cash flow calculations. AI-powered scenario modelling projects wealth trajectories over 10, 20, or 30 years against investment goals.
36-question buyer profile engine
A structured buyer brief capturing personal situation, financial position, investment goals, risk appetite, and property preferences. The platform uses these inputs to personalise every suburb recommendation and property score.
21+ integrated data sources
Government data (ABS Census, state valuer generals, crime statistics, bushfire/flood risk, school quality), commercial feeds (Domain API, SQM Research, PropTrack), and Google Maps enrichment for amenities, commute times, and gentrification signals.
