Add additional features to your property listing, availability dates on rental properties now showing.

Set your own additional features for property listings.

We often get requests from clients wanting to add more listed information on a property listing, other than the info that is already available on the OMS.

You can add additional features to your listings in the OMS by setting these features in your parameters such as irrigation systems on farms and small holdings, ocean views for sea front properties or additional parking options for commercial property.

These additional features will display on your Flex Website, developed by Entegral Technologies.  If you already own your own Flex Website you can follow these steps to add any additional feature to your listing:

Log on the the OMS > click on setup > My Office > General Settings > Choose the parameters tab.



Select the type of property (residential, commercial or agricultural) to which you want to add the additional feature.


Add your features by separating them with a comma only.  Save your additional features.

When listing a property on the OMS you will now be able to view the additional features that you have added to your property type and will also be able to tick the applicable features.


When you've completed your listing on the OMS, it will display with the selected additional features on your Entegral Flex Website.



* Note that these features do not feed through to partner portals via our listing syndication service and is only applicable to Entegral Flex.


Availability of properties to rent.

A new and additional feature added to our Flex Websites will be of particular interest to estate agencies who specialize in rental property.

The date on which a rental property will be available will now also display alongside a listing on your Flex website. The update will also now ensure that once the availability date is surpassed, a listing will automatically show as ‘Available Now’.

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
