Header update Namibia is such a beautiful country so it was difficult to decide on a new header image. We've opted for the world famous Spitzkoppe. Great choice isn't it?


Ranking algorithm When someone searches for properties for sale or rent, we now rank the latest listings first. We will introduce other ranking algorithms to showcase the best listings 1st, including number and quality of photos, length of the property description and how complete the listing details are.

Are you an estate agency looking for a fully customized website? You've probably received some eye watering quotes or think a customized website is reserved for large franchise groups?

How things used to work until now
Nowadays, most real estate website solutions give you a very limited choice in terms of customization. In most cases, one template is offered where the home page and overall colour scheme can be tweaked to create a more unique look and feel.

You need to start thinking further than the "one fit for all" template websites out there that doesn't encourage any creativity beyond the home page. In most cases customization beyond the home page cannot be done or you are charged an ar…
