A milestone in online property advertising

Today marks a special milestone for online real estate advertising in South Africa.
An exclusive agreement between Private Property Listings and Entegral now provides estate agents the opportunity for premium advertising on SA' most visited property portal, www.privateproperty.co.za.

Private Property took the strategic decision at the end of last year to open up their website to estate agents on a selective basis. Have a look at their blog post: http://www.privateproperty.co.za/Community/blogs/justinus_blog/archive/2008/12/04/31.aspx

Property listings are captured and interfaced to Private Property through Entegral’s online property management system, the OMS. Private Property will systematically allow agents to sign up through one of their advertising packages. The packages also include automatic advertising on Entegral’s high traffic websites, including MyProperty and MSN property.

Have a look at one of the listings that went live today:

The combined advertising exposure now offered through Entegral's real estate channels (over 20) and Private Property, provides unrivalled online exposure for agents. It also provides a far better ROI compared to printed advertising looking at advertising cost vs enquiries received.

Easily link Base with external CRM systems

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 l...

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 ...
