Thanks for your feedback on the new MyProperty website!


We've received valuable feedback on the new MyProperty website through the feedback link located just underneath the search box. (You can still post your thoughts by clicking here). We've also had lots of calls and emails from our client base in South Africa and Namibia.

Apart from your own site, MyProperty is in most cases the site generating the most traffic and enquiries on your properties from the host of websites we export to. So suddenly making major changes to a long trusted website is not done lightheartedly! Various factors triggered the release of the new website with the 2 major ones being:
- Keeping up to date with the latest web technologies including SEO techniques;
- Allowing more rapid and ongoing improvements to be made on the website;

When we released the website just over a week ago, it was not going to be the 'final version' for the next year or two. From all the feedback that we've received our team have been tweaking the new website relentlessly. Various enhancements are envisioned for the near future while we've made some major improvements to the slow search speeds experienced the first week of launch.

The results will also soon pay off in terms of increased traffic, with new SEO improvements implemented that took months to develop.

So, thanks for your feedback - positive or negative! We'd like to know that what we develop, works for you, and works for your client base in return.

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 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
