The property sourcing sector is evolving. As the industry grows, so does the need for transparency, compliance, and trust. Investors need access to credible deals, and professional sourcing agents need a reliable space to showcase their services.
NAPSA is proud to introduce Property Connect, a brand-new community platform designed to bridge the gap between compliant sourcing agents and professional investors.
Our goal is simple: to build a safe, compliant, and professional environment where business happens without unnecessary barriers.
Why We Created Property Connect
We understand the challenges facing the sector. Investors often struggle to verify the legitimacy of sourcing agents, while compliant agents find it difficult to stand out in a crowded market. Many third-party platforms add friction with high fees and commission structures that eat into profit margins.
Property Connect changes this dynamic. We are not just another listing site; we are a community rooted in professional standards. As the national association for the property sourcing and deal packaging sector, we are uniquely placed to ensure high standards are maintained.
This platform facilitates direct communication. Investors can access deals and speak directly to the agents sourcing them. There are no middlemen, no hidden commissions, and no barriers to doing business.
How Property Connect Works
The platform operates on a foundation of trust. We check every sourcing agent before they can access the community, ensuring investors only interact with businesses that meet national minimum compliance standards.
For Investors: Safety and Access
Property Connect offers a streamlined way to find your next investment opportunity.
- Zero Fees: It is completely free for investors to join and use the platform.
- Direct Access: You communicate directly with the sourcing agent. We do not gatekeep information.

Compliance and Due Diligence
Safety is our priority. We take specific measures to ensure the integrity of the platform, but we also believe in empowering our members to conduct business responsibly.
NAPSA's Role
We vet sourcing agents thoroughly. Each business goes through a 25-point check process covering anti-money laundering registration, redress scheme membership, insurance, and data protection. This ensures that only professional, compliant businesses are present on the platform.
For investors, we check for professionalism. We want our agents to share deals in a constructive environment, and we moderate the community to maintain this standard.
Your Role
While we provide a secure platform, NAPSA does not manage individual deals. We advise all investors to carry out their own due diligence before working with any sourcing agent. However, by choosing a NAPSA-approved agent, you have the reassurance that the correct professional protections are in place.
Investors are also expected to follow legal processes. When you choose to move forward with a sourcing agent, you must comply with their requirements regarding Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks and proof of funds. You do not need to provide this data to access the community, only when transacting with an agent.
What Sets Property Connect Apart?
Unlike other platforms, we are not driven by fees. Many third-party providers charge up to 30% commission, plus additional fees for investors just to access deal details.
At Property Connect, we charge zero fees for deals.
We are driven by a desire to build a better, safer sector for all. By removing financial barriers and focusing on compliance, we allow professional relationships to flourish based on merit and trust.
Join us in raising the standard of property sourcing. Whether you are looking to source your next deal or find your next investor, Property Connect is the professional choice.
