Opinion: Portals have perfected the art of creating home buyers out of thin air

-
Image
Property portals seem to have perfected the art of creating a lot more buyers than what there currently are in the market. Thousands of leads can be generated to a single agency in a month, but judging by some agency’s lead reports, and social media comments, very few actually result in sales. Estate agents are frustrated. What gives?

Entegral's founder, Adriaan Grove gives his opinion on this, lead fatigue, the law of diminishing returns and Zillow's move as portal concierge service. Read more here.

An open letter to my team and clients regarding the FNB & Private Property data saga

-
Dear Clients,


First of all, thank you for your support through the years and help our team living the dream of running a fully independent company, serving you.

Our team has managed to launch the new MyProperty South Africa property portal in July and have committed to making it the top property portal in South Africa.

You can read more about our 'Why' here, to get insight on how we are aligning the portal to focus more on the role of professional agents.

We got rid of subscription fees, and also ads that clutter the user experience, and provide the portal as a free to list portals for Entegral clients using the OMS or Base.

Rugby and real estate technology might seem like an unlikely duo - but working closely with Pink Link and its Director of Business Development, former Springbok rugby player AJ Venter, on their brand new responsive real estate website we have come to realise that there might just be common ground.

Pink Link is a newly launched hybrid real estate agency that not only understands the changing nature of the real estate landscape but also has a keen interest in making one of the biggest financial decisions as easy and understandable to buyers and sellers alike.

As a hard-hitting player that was just as comfortable at the flank or lock positions, Venter knows a thing or two about being adaptable and responsive in any given situation. Not unlike our FlexTL websites that adapt and change to your brand and responds seamlessly with any device, it is viewed from.

With its clean and modern layout, the newly launched website is easy to use by implementing industr…
