It is all about you - how to write a real estate company profile

An engaging real estate company profile is a great way to connect with your prospective clients by portraying a professional image and establishing and building your brand further.


Your Flex responsive website offers you the space to present your agency to visitors in the ‘About Us’ section of your website. And by keeping a few things in mind when you set out to write the profile you can ensure that you put your best foot forward.

Provide useful information

Where are you based, in what area do you operate, how long have you been in business or are you a specialist rental agent? These are just some of the questions you can answer in your company profile.

Also, mention awards that you might have won - who wouldn’t want to work with award-winning real estate agents?

Infuse some personality

Don’t just give the cut and dry bones of the business - infuse some personality into the profile to attract potential clients.

If your agency is really involved in the community mention it - from local sports teams that you might sponsor or have your agents provide client testimonials.

Not only will this give potential clients an idea of the agents that work at the agency, it will also leave them with the impression that you are invested in the community and will, therefore, understand their property needs much better. A good option is to have a professional photographer take a group photo of the agents and other employees, this way you are no longer just names on a paper but faces your future clients can relate to.

 The long and short of it

There are no hard rules about the length but keep in mind that people will most likely be browsing your website on a mobile device, therefore keep it concise, engaging and most of all factual.

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?

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
