Multi-currency support for property brochures

Image
The OMS property brochures now supports the local currency of the property listing. Based on the country where the property is located, the correct currency will be displayed in front of the price. The OMS provides several template property brochures for users that can be downloaded in optimized PDF format. Custom brochures can also be developed for a once-off fee to reflect the unique brand of your agency or franchise group.  

Century21 Wildlife website design improved.

Image
Century21 Wildlife, a real estate agency situated in Hoedspruit , is certainly one of the estate agencies out there doing the most research and investing so much time in the development and growth of their own company website. Aside from the enormous passion that they have for wildlife and the conservation thereof, they share large amounts of information with regards to the Hoedspruit area, the wildlife in and around the area and the types of real estate that this town has to offer to those interested in investing in game farms or lodges or just owning a house in one of the wildlife estates.  This website is highly informative if you are not familiar with Hoedspruit and it also caters not only for South African buyers but also for overseas investors.  This (above) is what their website previously looked like and after a few drawing board sessions, this is what the new website looks like now (below):  To view this new website and find all kind of bushveld proper

  Having a great domain name and associated real estate websites is critical these days for estate agents since most people start their property searches online. At Entegral we handle everything, including the registration, renewal fees, hosting and DNS setup. We make sure: 1) You are listed as the registered owner of the domain (many service providers registers the domain in their own name which is not correct). 2) Your yearly fees are paid on time to the relevant authorities.

Are your show houses listed on the internet for this weekend?

Image
Today's technology has developed in such a way that it is certainly the first source for any one making a decision about buying or selling something. Before a buyer jumps in his car and stops at the next best house with a for sale board on the front lawn, he'd probably done his homework first and browsed for listings on the internet that falls in the categories that he is interested in buying, made a list of his favourites and phoned the estate agent with the most listings in the area.  The same would apply for listings on show over weekends.  Time is a scarce commodity these days and driving around in a suburb (or two) with the hope of finding an on show board on the side of the road, and then finding the property's actual location can be both time consuming and disappointing to the prospective buyer.  Thus, you as the estate agent can provide prospective buyers with as much information possible and help them to make the decision before driving off to no man&#

New mobile websites prove to be very popular amongst estate agents.

Image
Two weeks ago we launched a new and improved mobile offering to our clients. Basically we upgraded the look and functionality of our old mobile websites.  We've been setting up mobile websites one after the other ever since! We created a template layout that is easily transformable and can be edited to accommodate any kind of branding.  It has the basics needed for a mobile website so that your visitors can easily find properties for sale or to rent near their location or by means of a drill down search function. Your own domain or website address is used so that you alone benefit from the traffic generated.  When someone searches for you on their smart phones, they will automatically be routed to your mobi site but will still have the option of going to your desktop site too should they wish to. Both www.huurkor.co.za and www.aidahartbeespoort.co.za can be entered in to a smart phones' browser and the mobi version of their website will automatically open and enabl

Show visitors the nearest show houses using the phone’s location

Image
Following the launch of our brand new mobile real estate website framework , we’ve launched a new on show feature today. Using the phone’s location, it will allow visitors to view showhouses in their immediate area first. It also shows showhouses further away. This is a great feature if someone accesses your website on their phone over a weekend. You can include direction information too through the OMS e.g. ‘follow the on show boards from main road’ or even geocode the property and show the exact location of the showhouse. In this image the screenshot on the left shows the options in the mobi site menu, encircled the on show option. Right hand side: The results of listings in the buyers' area (by means of navigation tool) and all other stock on show shown below.
