Why it’s different

A directory gives you forty numbers. sortit gives you the three who can come now.

The old way

  • Search, scroll, phone around. Leave voicemails.
  • Wait for quotes from people you have never met.
  • No idea who is coming, or when, or if.
  • Your address and number go to everyone you call.

With sortit

  • Post once, in under a minute. Now, or pick a day and time.
  • Pros who can actually come message you first. No bidding war.
  • Rating, distance and arrival time sit next to every message. You reply to the one you want.
  • Your yes is the booking. Your address unlocks for that one person.

Why trust it

You are letting a stranger into your house. We treat that seriously.

  1. 01

    Licence-checked, trade by trade

    Every pro on sortit holds the licence their trade requires: PIRB registration for plumbers, Department of Labour registration for electricians when that trade opens. We check it before they see a single job.

  2. 02

    ID-checked, named and pictured

    Identity verified by us. You see the name and face of the person who will knock before you say yes.

  3. 03

    Address on acceptance

    Pros see distance and suburb while you decide. Your street address unlocks only for the pro you say yes to.

  4. 04

    Reviews that count

    One rating per finished job, from the person who paid for it. Google ratings sit right next to ours.

For homeowners

Free.
Always.

You pay your pro directly, the way you always have. sortit adds no fee and never touches the money.

What you get on top: a job card for the work, compliance certificates filed to you, and an insurance pack when your insurer asks for proof.
