OMS Referral system bug fix: close referrals

We’ve corrected a problem where you couldn’t close an open referral sent to you as ‘successful’. This happened on some user accounts. We are currently busy with upgrades on the referral system which will be rolled out over the course of the next few weeks. Watch this blog for updates. about the referral system : the referral system allows buyer and seller referrals to be sent between offices in an organisation and is available not multi-office / national groups.

MyProperty Property Alerts service launched

Image
As we’ve mentioned late October , we’ve been testing the new property alerts service for launch somewhere in November or December. We’re proud to announce that this new feature has just been launched on MyProperty.co.za. Property Alerts allows the public to specify their unique property search criteria (including multiple towns, suburbs, price range, beds, baths etc) through the MyProperty website, and then create an email notification subscription based on this search criteria. This will inform them once new listings match their criteria by either emailing new properties as soon as they are loaded, once a day or once a week. The Property Alerts feature is available through the MyProperty property map search feature from the home page. A ‘create property alert’ link is now available on the search results, e.g.: After entering their contact info they are added to our Property Alert Engine . The visitor can select to be notified immediately once a listing matches their search c

Two brand new websites live this week!

The past week Entegral has been hard at work to complete the development of a new client's website, De Lucia Group. The group is not only in the market for selling property but also deals in the development, insurance, finance and property management sector. Entegral re-built their complete website, with De Lucia now making use of our OMS to list and manage their properties. De Lucia mainly sells and rent property in Kempton Park and Brakpan . Welcome to Vincent De Lucia and his team at De Lucia Group. View their new website @ www.deluciagroup.co.za Another website that was made live this week was that of Coburn Property Group. Coburn Property Group trades in Ballito, Kwazulu Natal and recently ordered a template website for their company. Visit their website for property for sale in Ballito @ www. coburnpropertygroup.co.za

Geocode your properties for maximum effect

Image
  Here is a great example of a property for sale in Lonehill,Sandton with geocoding done, over 30 photos and a good description added. The screenshot below illustrates that if you geocode your property in the OMS and mark as ‘show on map’ the property details view on MyProperty and your own website becomes so much more interesting and valuable for potential home buyers. In the sample below the property location was marked (A) and as a result Google Streetview (B) was enabled together with the unique Driving Directions (C) feature. Google Streetview is autmatically enabled if you have marked the property to show on a map, and Streetview is available for the street. Now if you’ve done this and and it is one of those special properties Tweet us @MyPropertySA and we may just retweet it to our followers and give you extra exposure on MyProperty.co.za too.

No peering issues for Entegral clients using MWEB as ISP

MWeb recently announced that it would no longer have transit links with MTN, Vodacom and Telkom, read the full story here: http://www.news24.com/SciTech/News/MWEB-cuts-ties-over-peering-20101028 . Many of our competitors have issued warnings to their clients on slower system and email access if they are using MWEB as an ISP. With Entegral hosting their own dedicated servers at Internet Solutions (IS), Africa’s largest ISP and 1st tier internet provider, we can happily report that this does not affect Entegral clients (using MWEB as their ISP). Entegral invests heavily into their server and network infrastructure and is also in the process of upgrading our server farm at Internet Solutions . It will be an industry first, with a custom Cloud Server Solution currently being build offering 100% uptime and increased performance. Just another reason why partnering with Entegral as your real estate service provider makes sense.
