New Google CAPTCHA AI system now on MyProperty South Africa

Image
The widespread use of CAPTCHAs - the term for those mashed-up letter sequences you must type to “prove you’re not a robot” — are not just annoying, they’re also increasingly useless. As Google explained last year, algorithms can now solve 99 percent of the CAPTCHAs out there .

For estate agents there are 2 significant benefits: 1) Better protection against spam enquiries; 2) A more friendly & quicker interface for people to make enquiries; Here is a screenshot below, you can also open any property listing on MyProperty and click on contact agent/make enquiry to see

Hotsheet report & quick search update

We have updated the listing stock hotsheet report and quick search page (listed in the last 7/30 days) in the OMS.

Unfortunately, when you had a future dated listing (e.g. mandate only starting in a few days time) it didn’t show up on these reports. We’ve corrected it to now use the date the actual listing was captured , so will now reflect any future dated for sale and rental mandates correctly. Hotsheet report:   Quick search listed in last 7/30 days filter:
