Introducing Flex Property Alerts

We are getting ready to launch our brand new Flex real estate website platform.

We’ve already shown you how it seamlessly works on any device, and how it simplifies property search.

Today we preview Flex Property Alerts.

It allows visitors to your website to sign up for email alerts as soon as new properties are listed. This functionality is already available to our clients, but we’ve upped the game and made it more advanced, and more integrated. Simply put, you won’t find a more intelligent property email alert service out there for your website. Here we preview some of the launch features, with some more really amazing stuff currently in development.

What we’ve done is integrated alerts throughout your Flex real estate website. For example, in the search results as can be seen here:

alerts0

The system will take the visitor’s current search info, and create a property alert for that.

Flex property email alerts is also available from your menu and other places, and configuring property alerts will be a breeze for visitors. You can select multiple areas & types and set how often you want to get alerted (daily, weekly or asap):

alert2

Another integration is into property enquiries, where visitors can simply click a box to get alerted on similar properties. We apply their current area, similar property types and price range automatically. You don’t want to send a R500k home to a potential buyer looking for a R5m home in the same area.

Once subscribed, visitors will get a branded email from your office and can unsubscribe at any stage. There is no limit on the number of subscribers you have and it is offered at a fraction of the cost other service providers would typically charge you.

Best of all, Flex property alerts can be accessed and configured on any device: laptop, pc, tablet and phone.

Flex is your 24/7 marketing machine, and aims to provide you with more leads than ever before.

Tablet

Flex real estate websites will launch soon and can be ordered in July 2014. If you can’t wait, drop us an email at support@entegral.net to reserve an upgrade for your current website.

Easily link Base with external CRM systems

Image
What is the Base Zapier integration? The Entegral Base system was recently improved with a native Zapier app integration . This allows estate agents to exchange data and create automated workflows with over 2000+ popular apps, including all the leading CRM specific apps.  Why even link a CRM system? Although Base has contact management, contact categories, automatic lead import, and other great CRM features , users sometimes require very specific CRM functions that we don't (yet) cater to. With our Zapier integration , we allow agents to link any popular app with Base. Once linked with your app, you can for instance automatically synchronise your contacts from Base to the external app or vice versa.  The added benefit is that you can create automated workflows and link more apps (e.g. insert contact details into a Mailchimp drip email campaign  and ZOHO CRM at the same time). This makes the Zapier fee irreverent compared to the derived benefits.  Automated portal lead import from

Property24 acquires Private Property, what do estate agents think?

Image
Property24.com, South Africa’s largest property portal owned by Naspers, has bought rival Private Property . The deal is likely to come under the close scrutiny of competition authorities as it involves the two biggest property portals in the country. Due to the impact of such an acquisition on the industry, Entegral was interested to find out what the perceived advantages and disadvantages of such a deal would be, both through the eyes of the consumer and the estate agent.   Here are the results from around 250 responses received on a survey done over a 2 day period , mostly from agents and agency owners. While the survey presents a small portion of the market (a ccording to the EAAB's latest annual report there are 19,424 registered agents and agency owners, excluding intern estate agents, in South Africa) , f eedback has been received from well-respected agency owners and agents, and we believe this gives a good indication of the current view of agents. The fear from estate
